Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida welcomes the restructuring of the cooperation agreement between car manufacturers Renault and Nissan, which sees Renault reducing its stake in the Japanese firm from 43.4 percent to 15 percent, the same size as Nissan's share in its French counterpart.

The passenger compartment of the Captur remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of theknees and femurs of the driver and passenger. Renault showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants ofdifferent sizes and to those sitting in different positions. Protection was rated as good for all critical body areas for the passenger. In thefull-width rigid barrier test, protection was good or adequate for all critical body areas, both for the driver and the rear passenger. In theside barrier impact, protection of all critical body areas was good and the car scored full points in this test. Even in the more severe sidepole test, protection of the chest was adequate and that of other body regions was good. Tests on the front seats and head restraintsdemonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats alsoindicated good whiplash protection. The standard-fit autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system performed well in tests of itsfunctionality at the low speeds at which many whiplash injuries occur, with collisions avoided in most test scenarios
The MÉGANE R.S. TROPHY-R set a new record of 2’25’’454 (more than 3s better than the previous record) on the prestigious Suzuka circuit in Japan, after its against-the-clock reference time on the famous Nordschleife at Nürburgring and its record at Spa-Francorchamps as part of R.S. Days, broadcast live on YouTube and Facebook. It is a major success in this country, which has some 10,000 TROPHY-R and Renault Sport fans: at the end of September 2019, Japan was Renault Sport's leading world market for the R.S. range, ahead of Germany and France, and the third for Mégane R.S., even though the Trophy version has not yet been launched there.
