Renault SA’s Kwid minicar, one of the hottest-selling models in India’s auto market, scored zero stars in an auto safety group’s crash tests for the second time since its introduction last year.
The Kwid model earned zero stars for adult passenger protection in versions with and without air bags, the Global New Car Assessment Program said in a statement Tuesday. Renault produced about 5,000 units of the Kwid model most recently tested by the organization, and the initial version the company built last year also scored zero stars out of five, the group said.
