Not fitted to the test vehicle but available as optionBased on dummy readings, the Ibiza scored maximum points for its protection of the 3 year dummy. In the frontal impact, forward movement of that dummy, sat in a forward-facing restraint, was not excessive. In the side impact, both dummies were properly contained by the protective shells of their restraints, minimising the likelihood of head contact with parts of the car interior. The passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. However, the system did not meet Euro NCAP's requirements and was not rewarded. The dangers of using a rearward-facing restraint in that seat without first disabling the airbag are not clearly indicated in the car.

The bumper scored maximum points for its protection of pedestrians' legs. However, the front edge of the bonnet was poor in all areas tested and did not score any points. In those areas likely to be struck by a child's head, the bonnet provided predominantly marginal protection. For an adul't head, protection was good in some areas and poor in others.

FailElectronic stability control is not standard equipment but met Euro NCAP's 2011 fitment requirements. A seatbelt reminder for the driver and front passenger is standard but there is no reminder for the rear seats. A speed-limitation device is not available.

In the frontal impact, the passenger compartment remained stable. Dummy readings showed good protection of the legs and femurs of the front seat passengers but the steering column was thought to pose a risk to occupants of different sizes or those sat in different seating positions. In the side barrier test, protection of the chest and abdomen was adequate. In the more severe side pole test, dummy readings of rib compression revealed marginal protection of the chest. However, parts of the dummy were loaded unrealistically in that test and forces were transmitted in ways that could not be done with a human, and the score was penalised. Protection of the chest was therefore rated as poor. The seat and head restraint provided marginal protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision.
