“It’s all regarding choice,” says Denis Le Vot. “Many people turn off the lane control assistant, and since drivers deactivate this system, why should we sell it?” According to the head of Dacia, active safety technologies should be options, and Euro NCAP requires these systems to be included in the basic equipment.
Le Vot cites the test of the Sandero Stepway and Logan to support his words: both models received only two stars, but the collision protection is such that both the hatchback and the sedan would score a solid four stars if the experts put the final rating without taking into account the presence of active systems. .
