Renault Lodgy Safety Rating

Renault Lodgy: A Call to Action on Vehicle Safety

The Renault Lodgy’s recent Global NCAP crash test results have brought vehicle safety into sharp focus. Scoring zero stars in adult occupant protection and two stars in child occupant safety, the Lodgy’s performance in safety tests indicates a critical need for enhancements in safety features.

The Ratings Explained

With a score of 0.00 out of a possible 17 for adult occupant protection and 15.67 out of 49 for child occupant protection, Global NCAP’s assessment of the Renault Lodgy underlines the importance of standard safety features, which the Lodgy lacked during the testing.

Adult and Child Occupant Protection

The absence of airbags significantly impacted the Lodgy’s rating. While the front passenger’s head protection was rated as ‘Good’, the lack of an airbag for the driver influenced the overall poor performance.

In Summary

The Renault Lodgy’s test outcomes have sparked a conversation on the safety standards of vehicles sold in India. Despite meeting the regulations set by ARAI, the Global NCAP’s more stringent testing conditions revealed vulnerabilities. Renault’s commitment to adhering to upcoming safety regulations and BS VI norms is a positive sign of progression. However, the urgent need for standard safety features, such as airbags across the range, is evident. The Renault Lodgy’s results emphasize the necessity for automakers to prioritize the inclusion of comprehensive safety systems to ensure better protection for all occupants.
