For city use sure, otherwise looks like a death-trap when compared with standard US vehicle sizes and mass...

Why would you say "death trap" if its cheap? Do you only get safety unless the car is $100k ?

https://nexonev.tatamotors.com/ Here is $16-17k Indian car with global ncap rating of 5. Same as a Tesla I suppose.

This one is only 10k but has a 4 star rating so what gives?

Because Americans are driving tanks

sure but that doesn't make a non-tank a death trap, does it?

When everyone drives a tank and you are driving a ricksha, you have a problem.

If you never get in a collision with a tank, no. If you do, yes.
