The Kadjar scored maximum points for its protection of the 1½ year dummy in the frontal offset and side barrier tests. Protection of the 3 year dummy was also good apart from marginally high tensile forces in the neck. In the frontal test, forward movement of the 3 year dummy, sat in a forward-facing restraint, was not excessive and, in the side impact, both dummies were properly contained within the protective shells of their restraints, minimising the likelihood of head contact with parts of the vehicle interior. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. All of the restraint types for which the vehicle is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the car. Cars before VIN VF1RFE00X53586729 have a very slightly different rear seat cushion and position of the seatbelt buckles.

The bumper provided good protection for pedestrians’ legs and scored maximum points. Protection of the pelvis was at least adequate in all areas tested. The bonnet provided head protection that was predominantly adequate, with good protection towards the centre of the bonnet surface and poor results only at the stiff windscreen pillars.

Electronic stability control is standard equipment, together with a seatbelt reminder for the front and rear seats. An autonomous emergency braking system is not standard and the option is not expected to be fitted to most of the cars sold, so its high-speed performance was not assessed. A speed assistance system is available as an option and is expected to be widely fitted. The system uses a camera to inform the driver of local speed limits and the driver can manually set the system appropriately. A lane departure warning system will also be fitted to most cars sold so it was included in the assessment.

The passenger compartment of the Kadjar remained stable in the frontal offset test. The driver dummy scores maximum points, with good protection of all body critical regions and the passenger dummy lost only a fraction of a point, with adequate chest protection. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger. Renault showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. In the full-width frontal test, the driver dummy again scored maximum points. The rear passenger dummy had a marginal level of chest protection but all other critical body areas were well protected. The Kadjar provided good protection to all body regions in the side impact barrier test, simulating another car striking the side of the vehicle, and also in the more sever side pole test. The front seats and head restraints provided marginal protection against whiplash injury in the event of a rear-end collision, while a geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated good whiplash protection. An autonomous emergency braking system is available but it is not standard equipment so its low-speed whiplash protection was not assessed.
