Five-Star Euro NCAP rating for the new Renault Megane

Benefits of the Common Module Family platform

When it comes to safety, the new Mégane shares the benefits of the same Common Module Family (CMF) platform as the Kadjar crossover. Features of this new platform include the use of very high elastic limit steel for the spars, side rails and cross members (notably those situated between the engine compartment and the cabin). A square millimetre of this type of steel can withstand a load of 120kg.

The CMF platform also incorporates effective occupant restraint systems, including dual-generator front airbags, the deployment of which adapts as a function of the type of impact and position of the occupant. This feature enabled the new Mégane to obtain high scores for both adult and child protection. Meanwhile, the seat belts are equipped with pretensioners and adaptive load limiters which adjust the degree of restraint to the severity of the impact and the occupants' build. In side impacts, front occupants are doubly protected by two latest-generation side airbags and two curtain airbags.

A suite of driver aids

Thanks to the CMF platform, the new Megane also benefits from the many driver assistance systems already featured on Renault vehicles from the segment above, such as the Espace. These aids are designed to reassure or warn drivers, or for ease of driving.

For reassurance:

• Adaptive Cruise Control automatically adjusts the car's speed to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle ahead
• AEBS (Active Emergency Braking System) warns the driver to brake in order to avoid a head-on collision. The brakes are applied automatically in emergency situations

To warn drivers:

• Lane Departure Warning system warns drivers they are leaving their lane without indicating
• The Safe Distance Warning system helps the driver to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle ahead
• Overspeed Protection with Traffic Sign Recognition reads traffic signs in order to adjust the cruise control's speed setting
• A Blind Spot Warning provides the driver with a visual warning when a vehicle is detected in one of the door mirror's blind spots

For ease of driving:

• Switching from dipped to main beam headlights and vice-versa is automatic, requiring no driver intervention
• Driver aids also include Hands Free Parking (front, rear and lateral parking sensors) and a reversing camera, subject to specification
• A colour head-up display in the line of sight provides information about the majority of the driver assistance systems, the vehicle's speed and navigation instructions

The Renault Talisman was also given a five-star rating at the same time as new Mégane, taking the number of Renault models to achieve the five-star rating in 2015 to four. The Kadjar and Espace, also benefiting from the CMF platform, were also awarded the rating by Euro NCAP earlier this year.

Anti-submarining: a Renault innovation dating back 15 years

For 15 years, Renault has innovated to prevent occupants from sliding beneath their seat belt in a head-on impact thanks to anti-submarining technology. To develop this technology, Renault uses specific crash test dummies equipped with more flexible groins to obtain simulations that are as close as possible to real-world situations. This technology calls for extensive work on seat ergonomics and on the positioning of the seat belt anchor points. In January 2015, the Euro NCAP protocol - which is made more severe every year - listed anti-submarining protection as a criteria for the first time.

Renault’s enduring Clio seeks to endear in its latest form

Mid-life refreshers are de-rigueur across the new car scene, writes Iain Robertson, and most involve little more than updated lamps and handles, although improving a model that is already sound can be a tough job.

The model life cycle is a crucial consideration in the modern motor industry. In fact, it is such a vital aspect in new car design that its timing is something planned into what is a highly competitive market. Even rival manufacturers will attempt to wheedle out from each other, over a series of departmental lunches that involve sales, marketing, design and engineering personnel gathering information by the most devious means, to ensure that product launches obtain the maximum amount of ‘free space’. These are spy games par excellence.

The days of creating automotive icons, a word that I truly loathe, mainly because it is bandied about by indolent, phone-tapping youths, who simply know no better, while not exactly long gone, is a potential treasure trove that few carmakers have struck in recent times. One of the last of them was probably the Volkswagen Beetle, which coursed through its life with minimal variation for nigh on 65 years. They don’t make ’em like that any more (and some would thank the Good Lord for small mercies).

Yet, verging close to that description is the Renault Clio, a model that has been a mainstay of the French carmaker’s line-up since 1990 but has endured just four major iterations over that time, with each version lasting for around eight to nine years, with at least one mid-life upgrade enhancing the retail proposition to each of the Marks. The Mark Four Clio I have on test has just undergone its re-adjustment plan, so you know that it will take around four to five years before it is replaced more comprehensively.

When this model emerged in 2012, it was the first of the non-Le Quement designs for a number of years. The company’s former design boss, famous for the ‘shaking that ass’ Megane, had been sacked ignominiously in the previous year. Laurens van den Acker, who had been coaxed from Mazda to join Renault, took on the task of gifting fresh inspiration to the Clio and anyone, who recognised his design signature, would have spotted it, not least in the launch Flame Red colour, a version of which he had already applied to Mazda concept cars previously and remains a £625 extra charge item on this test example.

While the days of ‘Nicole and Papa’, who were central to the advertising transition of the first Clio, from the former Renault Five, in 1990, are but a distant memory, largely unknown to today’s 20-somethings, it is the car itself that has become the focal attention. Intentionally voluptuous, with well-defined haunches and sensual ‘curviness’ in abundance, it sold in excess of an outstanding 400,000 examples worldwide in 2015, a result that highlights its popularity.

It remains a particularly attractive design, which makes mid-life revisions surprisingly difficult for the styling team. Yet, Renault has managed to retain its image and vitality, without detracting too far from the original. However, it is clear that a bag of additional safety enhancements, for which Renault has usually been an innovator, will have to wait for the Mark Five to arrive. As a result, this version of the Clio is devoid of distance cruise control, semi-autonomous emergency braking and even lane control, equipment that most of its rivals now incorporate.

While I am not unhappy about these omissions, asking £18,240 for a 900cc five-door hatchback is a rich price tag that will take some justification on Renault’s part. I should point out that £1,000 of that price is for the Renault R-Link multimedia system that includes front, rear and lateral sensors, a rear parking camera and a hands-free, parallel and perpendicular parking aid. The additional tinted rear glazing costs £250, while the get-you-home spare wheel adds £100. I have already mentioned the premium charged for the paint job, added to the £16,265 base price. Renault needs to be careful, even in these days of very few punters renting, rather than actually ‘owning’ their cars, that it does not price itself out of contention. It is dangerous territory.

Having enjoyed personally a bumper period of sampling virtually every one-litre triple power unit from the motor industry, Renault’s alternative may be 10% smaller than the norm but it is no less vibrant. Developing a turbocharged 90bhp and driving through a five-speed manual transmission, it is pretty much average for the class. It emits a modest 105g/km, which is a tad more than most of its rivals, but it does boast a top speed nudging 113mph and can crack the 0-60mph benchmark in a whisker off 12.0 seconds, again, up to the class average.

Sadly, as the test car seemed to have a hair-trigger throttle, even attempting to hold a steady speed, whether through town, or out on the main roads, it was too frustrating on our bumpy, potholed road surfaces to be anything less than staccato, accompanied by plenty of glottal stops, as Clio sung its otherwise pleasant song. Thankfully, a smooth ride quality, a long-held benefit of French motorcars, is retained in this Dynamique S TCe model, because, were it any less resilient, the resultant, bump-induced throttle surge would have been intolerable. In some respects, it felt as though the engine’s ignition timing was too advanced, as kicking in the turbocharger occurred rather too easily.

Interestingly, this showed up in the average fuel return of the test period. Even equipped with ‘stop:start’ technology, its 60.1mpg posted Official Combined figure is someway off the actual. On my customary 50-miles test route, the Clio gave a moderate 49.7mpg measured brim-to-brim. However, driving like that is not really feasible in daily traffic, where it was a less frugal 43mpg, almost a third less than the posted figure, which is not a good reason to contemplate a Clio TCe 90.

However, it is a comfortable wee thing, offering plenty of space for two six-footers up-front, although those behind will suffer a degree of discomfort. Both driver’s seat and the steering column offer a wide range of adjustment. The ‘soft-touch’ dashboard, with its technical finish, looks and feels very presentable and, being devoid of banks of switches, as most of the minor controls are accessed via the R-Link touch-screen, the design is clean and unencumbered. In this respect, the Clio is a charming sub-compact.

In this trim, it is also quite well-equipped. On the technical front, it features both stability and traction controls, as well as a brake pedal-induced hill-start assist. In typical Renault form, a card-type key can be either kept in the pocket, or introduced to an appropriate slot in the lower dashboard, alongside the pushbutton starter. Walk away from the Clio and its locks its doors automatically. The car’s headlamps can illuminate automatically, just as rain-sensing wipers will clear the screen without driver intervention. The new double-optic headlamps provide a strong pool of light ahead of the car at night-time, offering decent range on full-beam.

The 17-inch, black and alloy wheels look great, offset by the black and chrome-lipped sill extensions and the rear diffuser built into the back bumper, which adds a soupçon of sportiness to an otherwise rudimentary machine. This subtle edge is carried into the interior, where the cloth covered seats feature grey and red leatherette inserts for added interest.

Overall, the latest version of the Clio is not majorly altered over its original outline, which means that Renault must be raking in the profits for a most durable piece of design. It is covered by a four years/100,000 miles manufacturer’s warranty and servicing packages (typically being £459 for three years/30,000 miles) ensure that running costs can be kept within visible bounds.

Conclusion:   As much-beloved as the Renault Clio is, the company is really making you pay the price for brand and model loyalty! This version of the Clio could serve purpose as either a private, or business acquisition and competitive PCPs and lease deals are available. However, there are significantly better value, new cars in the market, by which even an ardent Renault aficionado is likely to be tempted.

2017 Renault Trafic Crew goes dual-purpose

Renault has given its tradie-trusted Trafic van a more family-friendly feel with a second row of seats that takes the new Crew variant capacity to six occupants including the driver, while leaving 4.0 cubic metres of cargo volume in the back and a 1060kg maximum payload.

The new version is based on the 103kW twin-turbo 1.6-litre diesel long-wheelbase Trafic but adds a second row of three individual seats with full three-point belts at a cost of 2.0 cubic meters of load bay volume for $42,990 before on-road costs – an increase of $3500 over the equivalent three-seater.

In addition to all of the three-seater’s gear, the Crew gets glazed sliding doors for second row occupants, a glazed bulkhead behind the extra seats, a pair of 49-litre storage boxes with extra pockets, a 12-volt socket and interior finishing to match the front row.

The French maker is offering an equipment-boosted Premium Pack for the base Crew that adds 17-inch alloy wheels, body-coloured bumpers and exterior mirrors, as well as deadlocks, an 800-amp battery, upgraded multimedia system with 7.0-inch touchscreen, navigation and Arkamys stereo and heated driver’s seat.

Like higher-grade versions of the Trafic van, the $2490 Premium package also adds the ‘mobile office’ features that include a tablet holder and premium dashboard with laptop storage, but not the folding middle seat that converts into a desktop.

The Renault Trafic has been a great seller for Renault in Australia.

At the top of the Trafic Crew pile, a Lifestyle variant adds opening windows for the rear passengers, chrome grille highlights, a gloss black badge surround, a hands-free entry card (as found in many Renault passenger cars) and automatic climate control for $46,780.

With the extra seating and reduced load area, Crew variants can still accommodate items measuring up to 2423mm long, 1662mm wide and 1387mm in height.

All versions are sold with a standard six-speed manual gearbox with no automatic option at this stage, as is the case with the more strictly commercial van variants.

At the launch of the Trafic in May 2015, Renault said it would “work towards” an auto option, but the company is yet to reveal if it is making progress with an automatic that would doubtless appeal to a broader audience in Australia.

Despite its self-serve transmission, the Trafic performed well in the 2.5 to 3.5 tonne van segment during 2016, finding 1730 buyers and sitting in fourth place behind the Toyota HiAce (7478), Hyundai iLoad (5467), and Volkswagen’s Transporter that finished last year with a tally of 1960 sales.

Renault light commercial vehicles senior model line manager Lyndon Healey said the company had been pleased with the Trafic since its introduction, and the new Crew options would further broaden its appeal.

“The Trafic has been a great seller for Renault in Australia,” he said. “The Trafic Crew brings another level of functionality to what is already a highly capable and increasingly popular alternative to more mainstream mid-size van offerings."

We Review The Snazzy, Savvy Renault Sandero

Renault’s popular Renault Sandero and Stepway received makeover in 2017 comprising design tweaks and interior enhancement.

The facelifted models formed part of a range revision for the automaker.

Leading the line-up is its flagship Stepway Dynamique, followed by the Stepway Expression (which replaced the current Sandero Dynamique) and entry-level New Sandero Expression.

Engine

Engines remained the same as the outgoing models, with all variants powered by a 66kW/135kW 900cc three-cylinder, 900cc (1.0-litre in Renault speak) turbo petrol mated to a manual five-speed (no auto available in the new range). Fuel consumption is rated a at a claimed 5.2-litres/100km for the entry-level Sandero and 5.4-litres/100km for the Stepway, with emissions of 119g/km and 124g/km, respectively.

Driving it

The Sandero Stepway manages to find that sweet spot between affordable family car and practical crossover. Driving it couldn’t be simpler; acceleration is even, gear shifts smooth and there’s torque when you need it.

It handles adequately in corners though body roll is noticeable and while understeer is present, it’s manageable provided you avoid spirited driving. It makes for a great family car, but owners should be mindful of additional weight (road-trip luggage, sports kit for the kids etc) limiting its performance.

These are not performance hatchbacks; buyers need to play to the Sandero/Stepway's strengths - a comfortable ride with adequate power.

Overall, its drive can best be described as “adequate” and that's not necessarily a bad thing. It means it has met the criteria for a budget family crossover by delivering a comfortable ride that’s not easily unsettled on irregular surfaces and judging by its safety systems (ABS, front and side airbags), will keep your family safe on our roads.

Design tweaks

At the front, the Sandero and Stepway display the automaker’s new design identity with headlights and grill borrowed from its Megane and Clio siblings. The headlights incorporate the characteristic C-shape Daytime Running Lights (LED), plus C-shape rear lights and both the front and rear bumpers are of new design.

The Stepway sports an integrated roof spoiler, higher ground clearance than the entry Sandero Expression, roof bars, front and rear skid plates, wheel arch mouldings and fog lights.

The Sandero is fitted with 15” wheels while the Stepway receives 16” dark metal variants.

New centre console

Inside, both models gain a new centre console, new air vents, updated trims, seat upholstery and power window switches on door panels.

The facelifted models gain a new steering wheel, now with hooter in the middle and one-touch indicators.

Luggage space is rated at 292 litres can be further improved upon thanks to the split rear bench. The New Stepway Dynamique has a centre armrest for extra comfort and leather seats as an option.

Improved tech

Many of the features and fitments which come standard with the new Sandero range are not seen in this vehicle segment. These include:

Standard features include side-airbags, front and rear power windows, power side-mirrors, leather steering wheel and gear knob and rear park assist. Cruise control and satnav are also standard while leather seats are an option.

The New Stepway Dynamique is fitted Renault MediaNav - an integrated multimedia system with 7” touchscreen.

In teams of safety, Renault says its refreshed Sandero is the only car in its class to include EBA (coupled with ABS) and ESP (+ ASR) as standard. Passive safety features. Also unique to this segment are front side airbags for the Stepway Dynamique.

The ABS now comes with EBA which kicks in and automatically applies maximum brake pressure when emergency braking conditions are detected; interesting fact, only 60% of drivers brake sufficiently hard for the ABS system to switch on in an emergency situation.

Renault says: “40% of road deaths are as a result of accidents that involve loss of control over the vehicle. ESP ensures vehicle stability and assists the driver to avoid possible loss of control; detects and reduces loss of traction (on slippery road surfaces, for example) and reduces engine power and brakes on independent wheels in the event of loss of control.”

Hill Start Assist (HSA)

HSA is automatically activated (upon complete stop) as soon as an incline of at least 10% is detected. The revised Sandero and Stepway range are sold with a 5-year or 150 000km warranty and to a two-year or 30 000km service plan. Service intervals are 15 000km.

What about parts? Renault said: “New Sandero parts are very competitively priced and Renault’s Gauteng-based Parts & Distribution ensures that parts availability is running at 95% plus.”

Overall

I enjoyed both the second-generation Renault Sandero and Stepway when they first arrived in SA back in 2014 and the 2017 facelift builds on its predecessors with eye-catching design tweaks and interior enhancements. It’s priced aggressively and well worth considering over its competitors.  

If you’re looking for an affordable, practical and safe family vehicle, the new Sandero and Stepway might be for you. They're both packed with creature comforts and a host of safety features even if the ride isn’t too stimulating.
