Five-star safety rating for all-New Renault Scénic

-

The All-New Renault Scénic has received a five-star safety rating from the independen­t organisati­on, Euro NCAP As the 20th Renault vehicle to receive a five-star Euro NCAP rating, All-New Scénic demonstrat­es over 15 years of Renault’s commitment to safety

The All-New Renault Scénic sets itself apart from the crowd through a number of state-ofthe-art technologi­es, including active emergency braking with pedestrian detection as standard; a first for vehicles in its segment.

The result highlights Renault’s commitment to safety, particular­ly with the All-New Scénic, which arrives in Ireland later this year. The AllNew Scénic stands out with a 90 per cent score for adult occupant protection, 82 per cent for children and 67 per cent for pedestrian­s.

The All-New Renault Scénic is amongst the best in its class when it comes to passive safety features.

It uses a structure consisting of reinforced steel skirts, side members, windscreen pillars and posts, allowing it to protect the lives of occupants inside the safety cell. Parts of the structure are “ultra-high elastic”, with each square millimetre able to resist up to 120kg of pressure. In addition, crumple zone steel located outside the passenger compartmen­t allows for an impact to be absorbed, thus also protecting the lives of occupants inside the safety cell.

The new Scénic is equipped with two curtain airbags for the first and second rows and two lateral airbags in the front. It also has two new-generation front airbags that make use of adaptive technology. Based on sensor informatio­n, airbag inflation level is adapted for both driver and passenger.

The All-New Scénic makes use of premium segment features and several types of innovative equipment. It is the only vehicle in the C-MPV segment to offer an Active Emergency Braking System (AEBS) with pedestrian detection as standard. To put drivers at ease and warn them in the event of risk, All-New Scénic offers:

- Hands-free parking, Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Fatigue detection warning with trajectory analysis and Active Emergency Braking System (AEBS) with pedestrian detection.
