In the frontal offset test, tensile forces in the neck of the 10 year dummy indicated poor protection of this part of the body. The head and chest of the same dummy were marginally protected. In the side barrier impact, the head of the 10 year old dummy contacted the vehicle interior and protection was rated as poor. The front passenger airbag can be switched off to allow a rearward facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. The installation check on the Group II/III ISOFIX child restraint was deemed a fail owing to conflicting information between the CRS manufacturer and Renault.

The protection provided by the bonnet to the head of a struck pedestrian was predominantly good or adequate, with poor results recorded on the still windscreen pillars. The bumper provided good protection to pedestrian's legs at all test positions. However, protection of the pelvis was almost entirely poor. An autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system is available which can react to vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists. However, this system is an option so was not tested as part of this assessment.

A seatbelt reminder system is standard for all seats and the Zoe but the vehicle lacks a fatigue-detection system. Lane assistance is available as an option and was not assessed here. The AEB system is also optional and excluded from this assessment. A driver-set speed limiter is standard.

The passenger compartment of the Zoe remained stable in the frontal offset test. Readings of the passenger dummy’s left knee slide were high in comparison with recommended limits. This, combined with the penalty incurred for structures in the dashboard which might be hazard to occupants of different sizes, led to protection of this part of the being rated as poor. Protection of the driver’s chest was rated as weak, based on dummy readings of chest compression during the test. Analysis of the deceleration of the impact trolley during the test, and of the deformation of the barrier afterwards, revealed that the Zoe would be a moderately aggressive crash partner to other vehicles. In the full width rigid barrier test, the head of the rear passenger was penalised for the extent to which it moved forward, and protection was rated as marginal. Chest protection of the rear dummy was also rated as marginal, based on measurements of compression. In the side barrier test, protection of all critical body regions was good and the Zoe scored maximum points in this part of the assessment. The film shows the dummy’s arm becoming detached during the test. This breakage is thought to have been caused by earlier damage to the dummy and is not related to any characteristic of the Zoe itself. Comparison with other test results indicated that dummy readings were similar. However, in the more severe side pole impact, driver’s head directly impacted the intruding pole and head injury values indicated poor protection of this part of the body. Rib compression indicated marginal chest protection. The Zoe is not equipped with a centre airbag to protect against occupant to occupant injuries in side impacts. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated marginal protection against whiplash injures in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated poor whiplash protection. The Zoe has neither an advanced eCall system nor multi-collision braking to prevent secondary impacts.
