Did you watch the video? While you are right that you have to consider G-force factors, the video clearly shows that the Renault is designed to dissipate energy as evenly as possible. Plus, it was 80 MPH! That's crazy fast for a crash.
As for size, a Modus is very small dude! Like really really small... several sizes down from the Volvo. I'm very impressed with the Modus... Renault really advertises their crash-test ratings, and I see now that it's justified.
That's not to say that the Volvo is bad... back in it's day it was a very safe care. Renault has shown that you don't need huge size to survive in a crash.
