New Mégane awarded five-star safety rating

The new Renault Mégane has been awarded a five-star passive safety rating after testing by the independent body Euro NCAP. The rating takes the number of Renault models to have secured the maximum five-star rating in 2015 to four.

Renault says the Mégane features upgraded safety thanks to a suite of driver-assistance systems.

The car 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.
