Cars with Strongest Body Structure in India. Top 20 Safest Cars in terms of Best Build Quality in 2023 and should be on Radar for those looking for Solid Build and Chassis Frames
Top 20 Cars with Best Build Quality from Safety Aspect in 2023
If you looking for a car which is safe, is important to go with a car which comes with
1. Safety features - Come with ABS, EBD, Not only Dual Front but Side and Curtain Airbags to protect in even of Side Impact along with Good Braking, Wider Tyres for Better Grip on Road
2. Strong Sturdy Build - How well is the car body shell designed in terms of high tensile steel to absorb the impact. Look out for NCAP Rating if available.
3. Driving Behavior - Speed thrills and Kills. However safe the car is with high tensile steel and safety features, Any accident over speed of 100 Kmph can end up been fatal irrespective the Car been World class in Build Quality with 7 Airbags or 9 Airbags.
Important to follow speed limit as Bare Basic Sacrosanct:-

Which Cars Can Protect During Crash
There are 2 Kinds of Safety:-
- Active Safety: Which helps to Prevent Accident. Essentially - ABS, EBD, ESP, Traction Control are generally considered Active Safety Measure to Control Car Movement, Handling and Stability. Also Sensor like Tyre Pressure Monitoring System provide accurate tyre pressure and are essential before taking car on long distance.
- Passive Safety: But in an unlikely event of Accident - Safety Belts (essentially as what Car Owner call Seat Belt), Airbags, Adjustable Head Restraints, Build Quality are important to decide the Fate
But What is Most Important is - Build and Design. Though Having Side Door Beams and Front Crumple Zones Reduces the Energy Impact, but without a Strong Body Structure - all in Vain. '
Despite of Airbags, Sheet Metal Quality is what which can end up making a Car 1 Star or 5 Star in event of a Road Accident
Use of High Strength Steel with More Layers Including Stiffer Structure, Frame Design, equipped with Good Layers of Door Side Beam Protection makes the Car Stronger and thats what is required to done from Car Manufacturer to offer Safety,
However - in a Rat Race of Selling More Cars, Car Manufacturers
- Makes a Trade off to Build Stronger Cars to keep Pricing under Control
- Foresee Impact of Kerb Weight on Car Mileage
- Foresee Impact of Kerb Weight on Car Pickup
and yes passes on Indian Safety Norms which is set at 48 Kmph Frontal Barrier Crash test till 2019.
The same Safety Norms, thankfully is Increased to 48 kmph in Side Impact and 56 kmph in Frontal Impact.

Hi, I m booked Sonet GTX turbo and now after reading several reviews on build quality, am I making a right decision?
though cars build and construction plays an important role, we cannot undermine the fact that out of the road accident deaths that have happened 70% have happened due to breach of speed limits, another 5 % due to wrong side driving traffic rules.
Driving style is a major reasons and the power increase in cars has not quite gone well with us Indians....whenever we get power, we abuse it.
Is Ford ecosport built quality is better than creta and seltos ??
Yes, Creta and Seltos doesn't offer same build quality in India as in Europe, these cars use less UHSS (ultra high strength steel) which makes it vulnerable in side and rear impact.

Hi
Im wondering why u haven’t mentioned Isuzu mux
Is it not safe?
Please enlighten
Hi, I will never suggest Baleno to anyone. If you talk about body structure and safety. I was driving my car at 2nd gear and it just touched Mahindra Scorpio. Scorpio had two scratches only and my Baleno's driver side bumper was totally damaged. So SAY NO TO MARUTI IF YOU WANT A SAFE CAR.
That is right, in old days 2007, my father driving a wagonar crashed into Innova, innova was virtually intact, but waganar got severe damage upto steering wheel.
Before this accident, once it also crashed into hyundai Accent. In this also, accent has only 5 inch scretch on bumper, but wagonar's bumper got crumpled into one side wheel.
Maruti makes very light cars, they may look like others but dont have any strength.
Companies i found good in terms of non compromise with safety are in order: (Upto 15 lac segment)
Tata,
Honda,
Hyundai
