While buying a car, it is as important to pay attention to its design and features as it is to pay attention to its safety. It is very important to know how much safety the car provides to the passengers, especially at the time of an accident. In this regard, the Renault Kiger has improved a lot compared to its predecessor. In Global NCAP’s new crash test, the SUV received four stars for adult protection. Earlier it got only two stars. However, it has received three stars for child safety. Let us tell you what changes the company has made in the new model.

Safety has increased as compared to before

The previous Renault Kiger model that was crash tested by the global NCAP had only two airbags. At that time, even essential safety features like ISOFIX child seat anchors and ESC were not present in cars. Because of this, the SUV received two stars for adult safety and just one star for child safety. After this result, Renault improved the car’s safety features and sent the new model for testing again.

Six airbags are now available as standard

The company has made six airbags standard in the updated Renault Kiger. Apart from this, features related to ESC, ISOFIX child seat anchors and pedestrian safety have also been included. The impact of these changes was seen in the crash test results. Now the car has got four stars in adult occupant protection and three stars in child occupant protection.

How did it perform in the side impact test?

One of the car’s doors opened during the side impact test, which reduced some marks. In this test, the head, abdomen and pelvis received good protection, while the chest received adequate protection. Chest protection was found to be limited in the side pole test. A three-year-old child dummy received no points due to a head impact in the side impact. On the other hand, the 18-month-old baby dummy performed well in both the tests.

Pedestrian safety was also taken care of

According to Global NCAP, the updated Renault Kiger has met the UN127 standards related to pedestrian safety. Apart from this, the SUV also met the norms related to ESC and Seatbelt Reminder (SBR).
