Comments:

For protecting adult passengers Passat received five stars. Experts allowed a repeated side blow to a pillar after making changes to the design of the security curtains and roofs. The car body turned out to be 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 from 36 possible.

Front punch:

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

Security of passenger children:

The front airbag of the passenger could be disabled using the switch in the press box. Nearby was a warning, and the pillow status was displayed on the center console screen. The elder 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 were recorded a larger load. The younger passenger was planted in the chair VW Britax Romer Baby Safe Plus, installed "against the direction of movement" using ISOFIX and outdoor support. His defense was good and complete.

Side strike:

System protection with side shocks 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 head of the child's head. The adult head was also protected, but not so good. The front edge of the hood feet of pedestrians has no significant protection.
