This is the car in which Renault has added structural reinforcements However, reinforcements have been linked to the driver's side and not on the passenger side that makes the passenger free of any security in case of accidents This car better than the old version of Kwid, but was found to be unstable as the older model.
NCAP Result The result was similar to that received by the Kwid I, well, it was confirmed that Renault had added to strengthen the structure, only the driver's side.
