Five stars for Clio
VOSPERS is excited to announce that the new Renault Clio has been awarded a five-star rating following passive tests carried out by EuroNCAP.
This result, achieved in spite of more stringent procedures from the independent body in January 2012, provides a further illustration of Renault's passive safety expertise.
New Clio's global score of 85 percent – including the top ratings for child protection, pedestrian protection and safety equipment – even marks an improvement over its predecessor and features among the very best in its segment.
In addition to this formal recognition of its safety credentials, New Clio also delivers reassuring dynamics thanks to its precise, responsive chassis.

A holistic approach for optimal protection of all occupants
Clio III was the first vehicle in its class to claim a five-star EuroNCAP crash test rating, which meant that New Clio was compelled to mark a further step forward: Renault consequently took into account the findings of its road accident studies and the real-world behaviour of motorists to develop occupant safety solutions based on an even more holistic, more efficient approach.
To guarantee even more effective occupant protection, New Clio's electronic architecture was designed to ensure that the latest-generation protective systems are triggered even sooner. In a head-on impact, New Clio's front occupants are protected by two high-efficiency airbags, as well as by seat belts equipped with pretensioners and load limiters calibrated at 400daN.
At the rear, all seats are equipped with an anti-submarining hump and three three-point seat belts with load limiter.
Meanwhile, "Fix4sure" technology is a Renault innovation that has been developed to combat submarining (whereby passengers slide beneath their seat belt in a head-on impact).
All New Clio's occupants are protected against this phenomenon thanks to a special hump in each seat cushion, as well as by the low position of the seat belt buckles.
Because the sides of a car benefit from relatively less protection, side impacts are a frequent cause of fatal injuries, but New Clio benefits from specific work that has produced spectacular results to achieve a maximum score of eight points.
To respond up to twice as quickly, New Clio features two impact detection sensors (in the front doors and B-pillars). A specific algorithm adjusts the way the new-generation head-thorax airbags are deployed to match the severity of the impact.
Combined with those of the pole and rear impact tests, these results helped New Clio to obtain 32 points from a possible 36 for adult protection, which is one of the best results ever obtained in the small car segment.
Thanks to the overall design of its structure and to the availability of three-point Isofix child seat anchorage for the front passenger seat and outer rear seats, New Clio's child protection rating figures among the very best in the B segment with a score of 43 points out of a possible 49.
New Clio is equipped with cruise control and a speed limiter as standard, as well as audible and visual seat belt reminder warnings for all seats, plus ESC (Electronic Stability Control).
It claimed the maximum score of seven points which, once again, is the best score for its segment in this area.
