Euro NCAP graded Active Driver Assist on the Renault 5 Very Good on 4 June 2025, with 92% for safety backup. The car avoided or mitigated a collision in almost all cruise control tests.

  • Not rated a person

    Euro NCAP measured the system in its tests, and no crash outcome for drivers or passengers is reported.

Depth runs from 1, a convenience or time saved, to 5, a life or a livelihood preserved.

An independent assessment report supports the benefit.

The system’s part
Not isolated. Euro NCAP tested the car with Active Driver Assist switched on, so the scores reflect the system's own responses. There was no run without the system for comparison. Euro NCAP mentions real time camera inputs and a radar but does not describe AI or show that the system learns from data.

    'Active Driver Assist', as fitted to the Renault 5, balances a good level of Vehicle Assistance with a similar level of Driver Engagement. Combined with a high level of safety back-up, the system, overall, offers Very Good highway assistance.
    The car responds to avoid or mitigate a collision in almost all of the test scenarios for automatic cruise control.

Details

AI system

Workflow

The system combined map-based speed limit information with real time camera inputs. It adapted its speed to some road features such as curves and roundabouts. Its driver monitoring system detected fatigue.

Follow-up

Conditions for replication

The driver stays attentive, since the driver monitoring does not detect distraction. The driver keeps hands on the wheel, since the car does not lock out the system after repeated warnings.

Entry details

Sector

Road vehicle crash avoidance / assisted driving.

Purpose

Renault built Active Driver Assist to help the driver with speed, following distance and steering.
