The new Velsatis has a car body that is extremely stable and provides good protection for occupants with no points being lost in side impact and only two points lost in frontal impact. The twin seatbelt retractor design greatly reduces the forward movement of the driver's knees. The child protection is also of a high order with the child restraints meeting all the Euro NCAP performance limits. However the pedestrian protection is very poor and this aspect of safety protection still needs to be taken seriously by Renault
