Renault limits young drivers to 110 km/h for their safety

Renault launches an intelligent initiative to enhance young drivers’ safety with a special version of the Clio V limited to 110 km/h.

Named « Clio Safety Car », this version is not a standalone model but an optional upgrade available for 59 euros. It targets novice drivers wishing to improve their driving experience in a safer environment.

If you own a compatible Renault Clio V, you can convert it into a safety car during your learning phase by scheduling an appointment at a Renault care service workshop. This modification limits the top speed to 110 km/h, which is the legal maximum speed for young drivers, encouraging cautious driving.

The speed restriction aims to reduce the risks associated with loss of control at high speeds, one of the primary causes of serious accidents. Additionally, the vehicle incorporates the latest driver assistance features: active emergency braking, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control, fostering a more controlled driving experience.

This initiative aligns with Renault’s “Human First” strategy, focused on preventing road risks and supporting drivers in learning safe driving habits. The option also has positive effects on fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, as the reduced speed encourages more economical and eco-friendly driving.

Notably, activating this option is fully reversible. If the driver gains confidence or the vehicle changes ownership, the limit can be turned off at a Renault network dealership, providing flexible use without compromising the vehicle’s value.

By combining accessibility, safety, and adaptability, Renault offers a tangible response to road safety challenges for young drivers. A small option at 59 euros, but a significant step toward more responsible driving.
