India-bound 2009 Renault Megane has attained maximum 37 points in its Euro NCAP crash test. This will very likely become the safest vehicle on four wheels in India when it goes on sale in 2009.

The only vehicle apart from the Megane to have accomplished this feat is the Nissan Qashqai SUV. Due to new headrests and a heap of other advanced safety features, the Megane has joined the Qashqai as the highest scoring car in the industry-wide benchmark program.

French Automaker Renault recently unveiled a new V6 diesel engine. A V6 diesel engine might never find its way into Renault’s Indian offerings, but it certainly gives us an idea of what Renault’s R&D is up to and what we can expect from their diesel cars in the future.
