Renault Grand scenic secures EuroNCAP's maximum rating
29 Aug 2009|4,495 views
New Grand Scénic has been engineered to deliver exemplary active and passive safety performance, and features the same equipment package as the rest of the Mégane family, like twin side impact sensors, an innovation first seen on Laguna III, six airbags, including two dual-chamber thorax/groin airbags, the Renault System for Restraint and Protection and new-generation headrests.
It also comes with ABS and emergency brake assist as standard, as well as ESC (Electronic Stability Control) and CSV understeer control, depending on version. Renault's across-the-range approach to safety is founded on the study of real-world accidents and places the priority on preventing accidents from occurring in the first place, taking corrective action and protecting occupants, as well as to enhancing the safety awareness of road users.
Renault considers actively improving safety to be a priority and stands out as the only carmaker to have obtained the maximum five-star rating on 12 occasions.

New Grand Scénic's third-generation Renault System for Restraint and Protection takes both impact force and occupant build into account. It comprises double front seatbelt pretensioners, load limiters for all seats and dual-chamber twin-stage adaptive airbags.
Impact from the side is a major cause of fatal injuries in built-up areas (one-third of all accidents) and specific attention has been paid to providing optimal protection in the case of side-on collisions. Equipment includes the twin side-impact sensors first seen on Laguna III and which halve the time required for the lateral airbags to deploy. Another advantage of this set-up is that the pressure applied by the dual-chamber thorax/groin airbags to the more exposed and more resistant groin area is three times that which is applied to the thorax.
