Comments:

Experts allowed a re-test after improving the protection system during lateral blows. The car showed himself exclusively well, he did not have enough of five stars. With the frontal impact of the body undergoed moderate deformation and compression. The protection of children with a frontal impact was weak, but the protection of pedestrians is good (Touran became the second European car that received three stars in this category).

Front punch:

The Passenger's thoracic was affected by a large force than on the driver, but both indicators did not go beyond the acceptable level. Although the efforts of the designers to protect the driver's knees are praised, in this case the results did not comply with EURO NCAP. Hard elements under the surface of the front panel remained uncomplicated, threatening the legs and knees of the driver. The front panel was almost intimately inside the cabin, and the foot niche defended the feet. All rear belts turned out to be three-point providing better protection compared to double-point.

Security of passenger children:

A pictogram was placed on the central rack, on the windshield - a text message, but none of them warned about the danger of placing the children's chair "against the direction of movement" opposite the airbag. The front airbag can be disabled, however, the instructions for this action are quite confusing. The eldest child was face forward, and the youngest - back forward. In the lateral impact of the head of both were protected well, however, during the front no one was sufficiently protected. And each has exposed to a large load on the chest and neck.

Side strike:

The system of protection at side shocks included side pillows and security curtains that also protect the second row passengers. The combination of pillows and durable bodies well protected the driver with lateral shocks about overlapping and pole.

Pedestrian safety:

Big windscreen and specially designed pedestrians elements showed a good result, although the front edge of the hood did not provide the same softening as the bumper or the surface of the hood.
