► 2016 Renault Talisman - CRASH TEST

The passenger compartment of the MY16 Renault Talisman remained stabled in the frontal impact. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger. Renault showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and those sat in different positions. In the side barrier impact, protection of all body critical body regions was good apart from the chest, protection of which was adequate. In the more severe side pole test, dummy readings of rib compression indicated a marginal level of protection for the chest, with good protection of other parts of the body. in Euro NCAP's tests, the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injury in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated good protection also for occupants of those seats. A low-speed autonomous emergency braking system is not available on the Talisman.
The Talisman scored full points for its protection of the 11⁄2 year dummy in the full scale crash tests. Forward movement of the 3 year dummy, sat in a forward-facing restraint, was not excessive and protection was good apart from marginally raised neck tensile forces. In the side barrier test, both dummies were properly contained within the protective shells of their restraints, minimising the risk of contact with parts of the vehicle interior. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver about the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. All of the restraint types for which the Talisman is designed could be correctly installed and accommodated in the car.
The bumper scored maximum points for its protection of pedestrians' legs, with good results at all test points. Protection of the pelvic region was mixed, with some areas of good performance and some poor. The protection provided by the bonnet to the head of a struck pedestrian was predominantly good or adequate, with poor results recorded only on the stiff windscreen pillars.
