    Euroncap VW Amarok 2009 4stars

    The VW Amarok scored well in adult occupant protection, with the passenger compartment remaining stable in frontal crashes. However, chest protection for the driver was rated as weak in side pole impacts. Child occupant protection was also good, though airbag warning labels were unclear. Pedestrian protection was mixed, with good bumper but poor bonnet ratings. Electronic stability control and a driver seatbelt reminder were standard safety features.

    COMMENTS

    Adult occupant
    The passenger compartment remained stable during the frontal impact. Dummy readings indicated good protection
    of the knees and femurs for the front seat occupants. Volkswagen were able to demomstrate that the car would offer
    similar protection to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. Maximum points were scored
    in the side barrier test. In the more severe side pole impact, high compression of the test dummy's ribs indicated
    weak protection of the driver's chest The car was also penliased for transferring forces into the dummy in a way
    which could not be done with a human body, resulting in no points being awarded for chest protection. Protection of
    the neck in a rear impact was rated as marginal.

    Child occupant
    In the frontal impact, forward movement of the 3 year dummy was not excessive although the vertical acceleration
    measured in the dummy's chest was higher than recommended values. Both dummies were properly contained by
    the protective shells of their restraints in the side impact. The passenger airbag can be deactivated to allow a
    rearward facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. However, information provided to the driver about
    the status of the airbag is not sufficiently clear. The label warning of the dangers of using a rearward facing restraint
    in the passenger seat without first disabling the airbag was unclear and poorly positioned.

    Pedestrian
    The bumper offered good protection to pedestrians' legs and scored full points but the front edge of the bonnet
    offered poor protection. The bonnet was predominantly good in those areas likely to be struck by an adult's head but
    was poor in most areas where a child's head might strike.

    Safety assist
    Electronic stability control is standard equipment on all variants and there is a seatbelt reminder for the driver's seat.
