No, Renault don't do it any more, it seemed like a good idea at the time (5 or so years ago), because it lowered the initial purchase cost of the car, and guaranteed your EV battery for life (because you never owned it yourself), but, probably because nobody else did it, Renault decided it wasn't the way forward.
A lot of the things that affect NCAP are the things we all don't want anyway. I'd take NCAP 4 if it meant the LKA was permanently off.
It was 5* when it came out, they removed/replaced side impact airbags which possibly caused it to be re-evaluated and it didn't meet the current standards for crash testing or ADAS.
I suspect a lot of 2013 cars would score zero on that basis now. Come to think of it for 40 of the 50+ years I've been driving the cars would have had zero stars!
I think the mini and metro that I used to drive got very low ratings even then, let alone now.
Some of my vehicles would have had minus scores on any of these tests, but the only one I really got injured in was the company HiLux ute when I was hit from behind .... the vehicle might been referred to as indestructible, sadly, those in the cab needed to be built the same way ..... and I failed that test big time
Err, you've done the research mate, you tell us.
I have a Cupra Born and an older relative has a Renault Megane on motabilityCan't argue with any of that. What are your other EVs? I'm thinking of changing.
I have narrowed it down to these two but not decided between them yet.Err, you've done the research mate, you tell us.
I think I'd go for the Cupra Born as well, the European manufacturers are in a world of pain but Volkswagen have managed to stay in the game in a much stronger position than the others.
Probably sitting in his truck, bored and waiting to do something ....Where is @LenEV2016 when I need him??!
