Comments:

Touareg's body turned out to be extremely durable, providing good protection and earning five stars. Experts allowed a repeated side impact of the post after improving security curtains. Passive security systems included two-stage front airbags, load limiters and front-belt pretensioners, side pillows and security curtains. The protection of children is recognized as good, but pedestrians are much worse.

Front punch:

Body has undergone minimal deformation. Two-stage airbags and belts with pretensioners and load limiters well controlled the load and move passengers ahead, reducing the risk of injury to the chest or legs. The deformation of the leg niches was small, but the driver risked to get injured knees due to contact with rigid elements of the front panel.

Security of passenger children:

Front passenger front passenger airbag can be disabled manually. The status of the pillow is clearly displayed on the instrument panel and the center console. On the danger of placement of the children's chair "Against the direction of movement" opposite the active pillow, only a short-lived pictogram on the central rack and a text message in two languages \u200b\u200bplaced on the windscreen was warned. The eldest child was placed in the Britax Romer Duo Plus chair, enshrined with ISOFIX and safety strap. The junior chair - Britax Romer Babysafe - was recorded a seat belt. Both children were well protected, although the load on the chest elder and the head of the younger at the front side was higher than a safe level.

Side strike:

System protection with side shocks included side cushions and security curtains that also protect the second-row seds. For lateral shocks about overlapping and a pillar, the maximum number of points is charged.

Pedestrian safety:

The level of protection of those who are outside, pluddly differs from the level of protection of those inside the car. Some mitigation was provided in the places of the adult head, however, the point of hitting the child's head and, especially, the bumper with the front edge of the hood turned out to be very extensive.
