The passenger compartment of the Clio remained stable in the frontal offset test. Protection of all critical body areas was good for the passenger dummy. Dummy readings showed good protection for the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger. Renault demonstrated that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection was good or adequate for all critical body areas of the driver and rear passenger. Maximum points were scored in the side barrier test, all critical parts of the body being well protected. Even in the more severe side pole impact, protection of the chest was adequate and that of other body regions was good. In the Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. The standard-fit autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system performed well in tests of its functionality at the low speeds, typical of city driving, at which many whiplash injuries occur.
Renault presented the All-New Clio, the fifth generation of the automotive icon. To date some 15 million units of the Renault Clio have been sold since it was launched in 1990 and it has become Groupe Renault's best-selling model worldwide. Clio represents the French population's favourite car more than any other model and has risen to the top of the B segment in Europe since 2013. In a remarkable sales performance, Clio sales increased each year between 2012 and 2018.More modern and athletic, the All-New Renault Clio draws on the DNA responsible for its success for nearly 30 years. It builds on the strengths of each of the four previous generations, opening a new and highly anticipated chapter in an illustrious story. From Clio I, it has all the makings of a larger vehicle. Like the model launched in 1990, the All-New Clio features technology found on higher-end vehicles such as Mégane and Espace. From Clio II, it has adopted extremely high standards of spaciousness and comfort. Like Clio III, it ushers in a new era in terms of perceived quality. From Clio IV, it inherits a strong design, one that inspired the entire Renault range and became a true trademark.Designed according to the "Evolution and Revolution" principle, the All-New Clio rewrites the rule book with more mature body styling and an entirely revamped interior. Featuring more sculpted lines and a more assertive front end, the All-New Clio gains in vitality and modernity while remaining instantly recognisable, despite the fact that it comprises 100 per cent new parts. Inside, the revolution is strikingly clear. The completely redesigned interior is inspired by higher-end segments, both in terms of perceived quality and available technology. These strengths benefit all motorists, bringing them greater practicality and ease in use.
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 New Renault Captur builds on the model's original success, including its striking two-tone colour scheme, with three new body colours: Atacama Orange, Ocean Blue and Améthyste Black (Initiale Paris version), as well as a new Platine Grey option for the roof. More than 30 potential combinations enable customers to tailor the appearance of their New Captur to match their personal taste.The New Captur also offers six different interior customisation packs in the following colours: Ivory, Ocean Blue, Caramel, Red, Satin Chrome and Patina Chrome. These are complemented by five customization packs (Ivory, Ocean Blue, Cappuccino, Red and Atacama Orange), for colored touch on insert on door lower protection and wheel cabochon.Renault French design continues in the New Captur, equipped with Full-LED 'Pure Vision' front lights (depending on version). This technology enhances both the vehicle's look and safety, whilst at the same time reducing glare. At the bottom of the bumper, the Captur incorporates the C-shaped LED Daytime Running Lights that have become emblematic of the brand's lighting signature. The rear lights similarly include this hallmark which is visible both night and day.
Formed in 1969 by the two French automakers, the LAB is a laboratory for accident analysis, biomechanics and the study of human behavior. Its purpose is to observe, analyze and anticipate with a view to furthering road safety. The LAB has helped decrease the number of road fatalities in France by some 80% within the last 50 years. It brings together 20 road safety experts. In its 50 years of operation, the LAB has actively contributed to decreasing road fatalities. In France, the number has dropped from 16,881 in 1973 to 3,259 in 2018, representing a fivefold reduction within 45 years. The LAB is now more committed than ever to helping develop the technologies of tomorrow that will further reduce road fatalities.
