2020 Volkswagen Golf Small Family Car and 2020 Volkswagen up Euro ncap Crash Safety Tests videos and Results

The passenger compartment of the Volkswagen Golf remained stable in the frontal offset test.

Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger.

Volkswagen showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions.

In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of the chest of the rear passenger was marginal but, otherwise, protection was good or adequate for both the driver and rear passenger. In the side barrier impact, protection of all critical body areas was good and the car scored full points in this test.

However, during the test, the rear driver's side door opened and the car was penalised for the risk of occupant ejection that this represents.

In the side pole impact, protection of all critical body areas was good and the Golf scored maximum points in this test.

Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision.

A geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection.

The standard-fit autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system performed well in tests of its functionality at the low speeds at which many
whiplash injuries occur, with collisions avoided in all test scenarios.
