Comments

Adult passengers

The passenger salon in Renault Duster remained stable with frontal impact, but behind (trunk) the door opened during the crash of the dough and the car was fined. Protection of the chest was estimated as limiting for the front seats, based on the fictitious testimony of the pectoral compression. Measurements in the knees and hips of mannequins do not indicate the problem, but from the driver side, the structure of the dashboard is a danger to the life and health of passengers of different sizes and with those who sat in different positions and protection on the side was rated as the limit. In The side impact of the barrier, the driver's door is open, and the car was fined. No doors opened in a stronger side impact of the pole, but the driver's breast protection was rated as weak due to the fictitious testimony of the squeezing of the chest. Protection against the injuries of the spine It was estimated as the limit.

Children's passengers

The car scored the maximum number of scores for the protection of the mannequin 18 months in dynamic tests. Movement of the mannequin from 3 years in the pop-offered seat forward well controlled during frontal impact, and both mannequins were properly protected in the test when the barrier is hit. The passenger airbag can be disabled to reverse the baby holding seat not suffered. However, the information provided by the driver about the status of the airbag is not quite clear. Danger of use facing back seat in the front seat, pre-disabling the airbag was clearly explained, but the label was not firmly attached to the sunscreen visor.

Protection of pedestrians

Neither the bumper, nor the front edge of the hood scored a single point, offering poor pedestrian foot protection. The hood provided good defense in most areas, but most likely hit the child in his head in a collision.

Additional security systems

The electronic stability control system is available as an option to Renault Duster, so it has not been evaluated in the crash test. The reminder of the seat belt is standard equipment for the driver's seat. A reminder of the passenger seat belt in the front seat, as expected for the duster will become standard equipment. The system meets all EURO NCAP requirements.

Duster crash test (Dacia) Duster has passed quite unnoticed to the public. The company did not advertise this event, it is clear, the car for Russia was not relevant. The release and sale of Renault Duster on autoframos began only in 2012.

It is worth recalling that since 2009, the EUROnCAP Committee introduced a new rating system for certain types of car safety research. As a result, crash test reports have become more extensive and detailed. Rating stars remained only to assess the overall level of safety of the car (that is, the total rating of all types of research), and the results of each study are displayed in rating percentages (from the ideal indicator).

Also introduced a new type of study - Safety Assist. - whose indicators take into account the equipment of the car with active safety systems. For example, cars equipped with a course stability system (ESP) undergo a separate test for the functional safety level of the car provided by the work of this system. Such systems also includes a system forced speed limit.

The remaining conditions of crash tests remained the same:

Frontal (frontal) blow - Models at a speed of 64 km / h (40 mph), about a deformable barrier, overlapping 40% of the driver's width by the driver. Side strike - a collision with a cart imitating car, a deformable aluminum block is installed on the trolley. The contact of the car with the design occurs in the center of the central rack, separating the front and rear doors, from the driver. The speed at the time of the collision is 50 km / h (30 miles / hour), the total weight of the trolley design is 950 kg. Sideways with post - vehicle speed at the moment of collision 29 km / h (18 mpg / hour), metal column design, shockproof, pillast diameter 25 centimeters.

Today we will talk about the security of Renault Duster. True, there is one important nuance: in 2011, a crash test was held by the Dacia Duster Crash Dacia Duster car, which almost completely copies the Russian duster, but still has some differences. The Russian Duster was not subject to crash test, therefore, as the main data, we accept the decision of the Euro NCAP Commission.

According to the results of the crash test, Dacia Duster crossover earned 3 stars out of 5 possible. The protection of the driver and the front passenger was estimated at 74%, a passenger-child - 78%, pedestrians - 28%, and the overall safety level - 29%.

Here is what the driver and passenger protection looks like:

And so - the protection of children:

Pedestrian protection:

More information about the painshche test - on the official EURO NCAP website (Euroncap.com/ru/Results/dacia/Duster/10968).

Now let's talk about what safety equipment is offered on the Russian daster.

First, the driver's airbag is available in each version, both in the dorestayling car and in restyling, which is produced from mid-2015.

The airbag for the passenger is only available in the most expensive version of Luxe Privilege, the same goes and the side airbags. But for some complete sets, special security packages are offered, which, for example, include a passenger airbag and a third headrest for the rear seat.

In more detail about the security tools you can know on the page with.

Pay attention that the tested Euro NCAP car has been equipped with airbags for the driver, passenger and side airbags. As a power unit, a 1.5 liter diesel engine was used with a full drive.

Content

2015 for Renault Duster did not bring significant safety improvements compared to 2011, when the first crash test was held. How many stars he received then, his new version was assessed to the same amount: 3 stars. This is not a high assessment, and not fail.

Video test Renault Duster is not impressive. But having remembered about his democratic, thanks to which he is out of competition, you can advise the drivers to be more attentively behind the wheel of this car and carefully observe the speed mode.

Protect adults

According to the results of the test, the Duster demonstrated the protection of adult passengers on the Middle level. So, the breast cell of the driver and the passenger sitting ahead turned out to be. During the front of the front, the pressure rendered on the chest was significant, including due to seat belts. Heavy driver injuries are dangerous Torpedo design. Knees, legs and other organs are not at risk. But the experts reduced the safety assessment for the luggage door door open during the stern strike.

Side strike And at all turned out to be treaty. The reason for this is the driver's door opening when hitting the Block. In the event of a collision with a static object with lateral slides, the chest, which is atypically for the SUV. Feed collision showed the risk of spinal injuries in the area of \u200b\u200bthe cervical. Almost in any case, the Duster, due to the insufficient rigidity of the case, injures the ribs sitting ahead of passengers.

Protection of children

Due to the fact that the safety of small passengers in Renault Duster was slightly higher than adultsThe assessment of the commission has increased. So, children up to one and a half years have been protected at a high level subject to the use of children's chairs. In the rear seat, the displacement of the child's body was registered older than three years with frontal impact, but it was as not dangerous. However, on the front seat of children, older than three years experts do not advise experts: there is no alarm in the car, indicating when the front airbag is disabled, which means the driver is not always aware of the degree of child's security.

The edge of the hood Renault Duster is pretty acute and hard, from here high risk injury for pedestrians in a collision. Especially potentially feel the legs and the pelvis area. And may also seriously suffer a head of a pedestrian child. Unfortunately, the duster is safe for footing road participants cannot be called.

All cars coming from the conveyor to the wide market are mandatory pass through the test series. The key element of the test becomes the crash test - checking the strength of the car during collisions. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety level of the car for the driver and passengers. The increase in the number of incidents on the roads only stimulates interest in the results of tests among potential buyers.

Surprised "French"

Renault concern rapidly seized the market of budget crossovers, released a new model - Duster 5 years ago.

Low cost in a combination with excellent technical characteristics and presentable appearance made a model of sales by the leader in several regions, providing an impressive profit.

The passage of mandatory independent expertise is an integral part of the production of cars. Immediately it is worth a reservation - the Renaster-produced Renaster Krash test has not yet passed (there is definitely no data about it). But the European analogue - Dacia Duster - passed the procedure and there is an opportunity to analyze the results obtained.

With a broad public, there are results of tests conducted by EUROncap specialists - an authoritative European organization, which is engaged in independent crash tests with a detailed safety assessment. The results of the Company are recognized by all experts in the world.

Euroncap and Duster: how everything went

All information that is in free access is resting in the Krastest Renault Duster, conducted in 2011. A detailed study that has been implemented by the company's employees allows us to fully understand the level of passenger security at possible collisions. When developing the concept of crossover, the priority direction was the formation of a low market value of the machine. Therefore, many buyers are skeptical about the quality of the car and its reliability and strength. Despite the fact that this test has been for several years, his analysis speaks about the opposite.

General test test

EUROONCAP specialists have chosen to explore the 15 DCI "LAUREATE" LHD duster model, a total weight of 1180 kg.

The complete set of this car includes the following elements of the security system:

• Safety belts with pressure limiters.
• Airbags in front, for driver and passenger.
• Airbags located on the sides. They provide protection of the chest and head.

In tests, the security was investigated not only passengers, but also pedestrians. For the latter, the car was quite dangerous.

• The safety level of adult passengers:

Front collisions were used to verify the security of the driver and passengers. Analysis of sensors mounted on mannequins and crocated video filming allowed us to determine the following results:

When you hit the front, there is a significant pressure on the chest driver and the front passenger.

Accessories for your car:

If the driver's dimensions are more than a mannequin, there is a risk of serious injury.

The result of the study is 11 points and "middle level".

Also held 2 additional tests:

• Side blow. Due to the opened driver's door, the final assessment is reduced to 7.2 points.
• Collision with post. This test revealed low breast protected and the final assessment was 6 points.
• Collision with a blow from behind. Such an incident can lead to serious injury to cervical vertebrae. Therefore, the lowest point is 2.5.

The approach to the safety level of young passengers in the Duster earned positive reviews of specialists. In this category, the machine scored maximum points.

When conducting a test to the rear seat, 2 mannequins were placed, which correspond to children of 1.5 and 3 years. As a result of the frontal and lateral clashes, the mannequin remained in their places and practically did not move from the place. In front place there is an opportunity to place a children's chair against the movement of the car, with the disconnection of the airbag.

The design of the car is not oriented towards pedestrians. Massive bumper causes serious injuries to your feet, and the hood causes damage to the head of the pedestrian. In this test segment, the car received only 10 points.

• Active Safety System:

The active protection and alert system has only sensors about not fastened belt. Therefore, the score obtained by the duster is so small - only 2.

With the crash test, the side impact of the side impact was examined, which are often ignored. For Duster, this study is of importance, since due to the short base machine can lose stability and get a similar side blow.

The final result of the Renault Duster test crash - 3 stars out of 5 possible. Not bad level for crossover in this market segment.
