Euro NCAP: 4 stelle per la nuova Renault Twingo

Nell'impatto frontale l’abitacolo si è dimostrato sicuro. La protezione del manichino passeggero era buona per tutte le parti del corpo. I test indicano buona protezione delle ginocchia e dei femori del conducente e passeggero. Renault ha mostrato che un analogo livello di protezione sarebbe fornito agli occupanti di diverse dimensioni e a quelli seduto in posizioni diverse. Nella prova di barriera laterale, la protezione di tutte le regioni del corpo era buona, un po’ meno quella del torace. Per quanto riguarda la protezione contro il colpo di frusta è stata giudicata buona per il passeggeri anterori, un po’ meno per quelli posteriori.

The passenger compartment of the Twingo remained stable in the frontal impact. Protection of the passenger dummy was good for all parts of the body. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger dummy. Renault showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. Rearward movement of the brake pedal led to a marginal rating for protection of the driver's feet and ankles. In the side barrier test, protection of all body regions was good except that of the chest, which was adequate. In the more severe side pole impact, dummy readings of rib deflections indicated weak protection of the chest. Protection against whiplash injuries in a rear-end collision was rated as good for the front seats and poor for the rear.
