2015 Renault Espace V - CRASH TEST

The passenger compartment of the 2015 Renault Espace 5 remained stable in the frontal offset test. 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 on the driver's side to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. However, on the passenger side, structures in the dashboard presented a risk of injury and the car was penalised. In the full-width rigid wall test, all critical body areas were well protected for the driver and protection of the rear seat occupant was good or adequate. In the side impact barrier test, dummy readings showed good protection of all critical body areas. However, the rear driver's side door opened during the test, presenting a risk of ejection for those in the vehicle and the score was penalised. In the more severe side pole impact, dummy readings of rib compression indicated a marginal level of protection for the chest but protection of other parts of the body was good. Tests on the front seats and head restraints indicated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated marginal whiplash protection. The Espace's autonomous emergency braking system operates from 30km/h upwards so did not qualify for an assessment of its whiplash protection.
Electronic stability control is standard equipment, along with a seatbelt reminder system for the front and rear seats. The optional 'Over- Speed Protection System' uses a forward-looking camera to recognise speed signs. The information is presented to the driver who can decide whether or not to allow the car to be limited to that maximum speed. The system met Euro NCAP's requirements for such intelligent speed assistance and was given maximum points. An autonomous emergency braking system is also an option that is expected to be fitted to most cars sold. The system operates between 30 and 140km/h and gave marginal performance in Euro NCAP's tests. A lane departure warning system is also available as an option and met Euro NCAP's requirements.
