You know, that brand that it is the first performed to five stars in a crash test is fifteen years later with a car that there is exactly zero knows how to score.

Small difference, the Laguna II was with us in the Showroom and the conscious Kwid is reserved to the so-called emerging markets and in particular India. A kek mini-suv’paper-size Twingo – with a striking resemblance to the Dacia Sandero. In the comments you were also clear: he can and should as Dacia feel this way. Certainly, when Renault later have a pretty thick Kwid Racer as a concept represented. But now seems to be, is an even faster way to die.

Well, it is now of course very easy to Renault, that quite prides itself on its safe and secure cars to the ground to torches on the fact that the Kwid less than zero stars caught up in the test of Global NCAP, but that is not completely honest. Not only hit his competitors have exactly the same number of stars, or rather a lack of it, also puts the average consumer in such markets, other demands on his car and especially on price competition. With a price between the converted 4500-5600 euro is the Kwid also half as expensive as a Twingo, and that is so for a reason. An airbag is not standard, but also with such a plofzak is the Renault not safe enough for a scornful star.

Nevertheless, it is shocking to see how big the difference in safety features between the various markets. Certainly because it is precisely in countries such as India it has already been determined is not well provided with road safety. Big question is, is that the primary task of the government, the consumer, or should we also manufacturers appeal to their moral obligations? A discussion which, incidentally, is not only about safety, but also about the environment.
