Vehicles tested after 1 January 2008 will require Electronic Stability Control in order achieve a 5 star rating. This vehicle was tested prior to this date and may or may not meet this new requirement.
The left-hand-drive European model was tested by EuroNCAP. Australasian specifications may vary and therefore models sold in Australasia might provide different levels of protection to those described on this page.
The driver and front passenger are protected by front airbags, side airbags and head-protecting side airbag curtains. These are standard equipment in New Zealand.
The front seat belt buckles are mounted on the seats and the upper anchorages are adjustable. These features improve the fit of the seat belt. Pretensioners are fitted to front seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a severe crash. The centre rear seat has a 3-point seat belt.
The Renault Laguna II was the first car to earn five stars under the EuroNCAP system. It performed exceptionally well in the offset crash test (score 15.1 out of 16). The passenger compartment held its shape well. Protection from serious injury was good for the head and legs. There was a slight risk of chest injury for both driver and passenger.
The vehicle earned a full 16 points in the side impact crash test and a full 2 points in the optional pole test.
The passenger compartment held its shape well in the offset crash test. The brake pedal moved rearwards by 30mm. The width of the driver's doorway shortened by 20mm. All doors remained closed during the crash. After the crash moderate manual effort was required to open the driver's door and the other doors opened with normal effort.
The airbags cushioned both the driver and passenger. Movement was well controlled and there was no knee contact with the dash.
The passenger compartment held its shape well in the side impact test.
Dummy movement was well controlled. The curtain-style upper side airbags protected the head of the driver. This gave the manufacturer the option of funding a separate pole impact crash test. This test earned the vehicle a further two points.
