Comments:

The second generation of Megane possessed an extremely strong body that protects passengers. For the side blow, maximum points were exhibited, and only two were removed behind the frontal. Double pretensioners and seat belt load limiters to a minimum reduced the drive displacement interval forward. The protection of children is good, and their chairs fit almost all EURO NCAP requirements. Pedestrian protection only at the average level.

Front punch:

The front airbags are inflated in two stages, which increases the degree of protection in serious collisions. Also, the car can reduce the power of detonation, if it recognizes the presence of low weight saddle in front of the cushion. The belt and diagonal part of the seat belt have separate pretensioners. The car developers attached a lot of effort to protect the knees and the top of the driver's feet. Deepening for the legs was deformed slightly. It is equipped with an additional protective overlay. The central seat of the seat of the seats is equipped with a three-point seat belt, providing the frontal impact of much better protection compared to the waist.

Security of passenger children:

Front passenger front passenger airbag can be disabled manually. The manufacturer developed a well-thought-out warning about the danger of the installation of a children's chair "against the direction of movement" opposite the active pillow. Children's chairs - Britax Romer Duo "In the direction of movement" and Kiddy EasyFix "Against the direction of movement" - were installed in ISOFIX fastenings and had good and understandable instructions. The chair for the 3-year-old passenger also used the safety strap. The second armchair was equipped with a support and a sling for mounting to the floor. Children's heads were well protected with frontal and side shocks, which is usually difficult to achieve. However, a large load was performed on the chest of a senior Passazhir-child.

Side strike:

The protection system with side impact includes side airbags and curtains for sediments of both rows. For side strikes about a pillar and overlap are calculated maximum points.

Pedestrian safety:

Pedestrian protection was not so improved as passenger protection. Although the front edge of the hood and the impact zone of an adult pedestrian provided some softening of the blow, the rest of the surface of the hood, wings and bumper turned out to be unsafe.
