Comments:

An improved version of Scenic with curtains for the head and individual side pillows for the chest was subjected to re -test. These pillows have already been tested earlier, but they could not worthy of protecting their heads. The curtain improved this protection, and also increased the level of safety of the rear passengers. The protective block under the steering wheel in the area of \u200b\u200bthe driver’s knees was not as effective as in the Megane hatchback, previously tested by Euro NCAP.

Frontal blow:

The passenger salon provided a safe space for the riders. Safety pillows for the driver and passenger were included in the basic configuration. The belts were equipped with pretense and load limiters. This reduced the risk of damage to the chest of both riders. Protection in the driver’s knees in the area of \u200b\u200bthe knees was insufficient to fully exclude the risk of injury. The central place of the back row of seats is equipped with a three -point seat belt that provides better protection compared to waist.

Safety of passenger children:

Passengers are well informed about the danger of installing the children's chair “Against the direction of movement” opposite the airbag to the place of the front passenger. Well -executed warnings were placed on both sides of the sun visor, but they were too easily removed. Renault Kiddy children's seats were installed “against the direction of movement”. In a 3-year-old passenger, the head was not protected either with Lobov or with lateral strikes. The chair for the 18-month passenger used ISOFIX mounts and provided proper protection. However, registered large loads indicate possible damage in a real accident.

Side blow:

Maximum points in this test. Although there were doubts about the same effectiveness of the depreciation material in the door when protecting drivers of different sizes.

Pedestrian safety:

Unfortunately, good protection of car passengers did not spread to pedestrians. The surface of the hood provided a slight softening of the blow, but the bumper and the front edge of the hood were solid and dangerous in places of the pedestrian strike.
