Comments:

Re-test Clio brought very good protection estimates with lateral impact without airbags and a good frontal impact result. The manufacturer can praise for very safe children's chairs and well thought out stickers with children's protection advice. These instructions are located on both sides of the sunscreen visor.

Front punch:

After the first test, Renault has made changes to the design of the zone near the knees and niches for the legs, therefore the re-test was allowed. The airbag design was also changed, however, with this stiffness, the result of this change is not noticeable. Penalty points were accrued for high loads on the chest driver, despite the presence of safety belt load limiters, and left leg. The front chairs belts were also equipped with pretensioners that limit the movement of the passenger's body in a collision. The driver's left foot was dangerous due to contact with rigid elements. The central seat of the seat of the seats is equipped with a three-point inertial seat belt.

Security of passenger children:

Both seats were designed specifically for Renault and installed in special nests in the seats. The chair for the 1,5-year-old one was "against the direction of movement", and for the 3-year-old, "forward face." When placing ahead, the back chair demonstrated a brilliant result, no worse than any other, previously tested. However, there is a landing problem (disembarking) in (from) a child in a three-door car. The chair "Forward the face" could not fully protect the passenger's head when hit by side. Although the warnings on the sunscreen visor are performed very well, they too easily come off. The manufacturer promised to fix this defect in the future.

Side strike:

By protection with the side impact Clio is in the group of the best. Only on the pelvic region was carried out, which increases the risk of injury. Uncharacteristic for real conditions The distribution of the load between the mannequin and the back of the chair led to the artificial understatement of the sensors in its breast, which cannot happen to the body of a real person. In addition to the above, protection with lateral impact is not supplied for.

Pedestrian safety:

Like most tested cars of this class, the estimate for pedestrian protection consists mainly of points for protecting heads of adults and children. However, two points in the foot impact zone also provided mitigation, albeit weak.
