Renault Clio - Crash Tests 2019

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.
