Comments:

For protecting adult passengers Passat received five stars. Experts allowed a repeated side impact of a pillar after making changes to the design of safety and roof curtains. The body of the car was extremely durable, under the windshield minimal deformation and well-protecting adult passengers. The protection of children, however, was not so complete: with a frontal impact on the chest senior, a large load was affected. Pedestrian protection is recognized quite good by typing 17 points out of 36 possible.

Front punch:

The body has undergone minimal deformation, together with two-stage front security pillows, pretensioners and seat belt load limiters well protecting adult passengers and keeping the load on their chest and legs at a low level. However, the driver risked to get injuries from behind the steering column. Niche for the legs is deformed not much, and the shift of the pedals was under full control.

Security of passenger children:

The front airbag of the passenger could be disconnected using the switch in the press box. Narrow was located a warning, and the pillow status was displayed on the center console screen. The eldest child was located in the chair VW Britax Romer Duo Plus "in the direction of movement", enshrined with ISOFIX and safety straps. With a frontal impact, the sensors in its chest recorded a larger load. The younger passenger was planted in a chair VW Britax Romer Baby Safe Plus, installed "against the direction of movement" with the help of ISOFIX and outdoor support. His defense turned out to be good and complete.

Side strike:

System protection with lateral blows included side pillows and security curtains that also protected the second-row passengers. In this category, Passat scored the maximum number of points.

Pedestrian safety:

Pedestrian protection was acceptable. The bumper corresponded to the requirements, and the surface of the hood softened the child's head blow. The adult head was also protected, but not so good. The front edge of the hood feet of pedestrians has no significant protection.
