The Caddy scored maximum points for its protection of the 1½ year dummy in the dynamic impact tests. That dummy was sat in a rearward facing restraint mounted using the iSize anchorages and a support leg to prop the restraint against the floor. Where the support leg rests on a stowage space in the floor, as in the Caddy, VW recommend the use of an insert to fill the space and ensure a sufficiently strong support for the restraint. The insert was used in Euro NCAP's tests. In the frontal offset test, forward movement of the 3 year dummy was not excessive and, apart from marginally elevated neck tension, forces on the dummy were well controlled. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. All of the restraint types for which the Caddy is designed could be properly installed in the car.

The bumper provided good protection to pedestrians' legs and scored maximum points. However, protection of the pelvis region was almost completely poor. The bonnet and windscreen showed predominantly adequate or marginal protection in Euro NCAP's tests.

Electronic stability control is standard equipment, together with a seatbelt reminder for the front row seats. The second and optional third row seats are not protected by a seatbelt reminder. VW expect most cars to be equipped with the autonomous emergency braking system so it was included in the assessment. In Euro NCAP's tests the system performed well. A driver-set speed limiter is an option but is expected to be widely fitted so was included in the assessment. A lane assistance system is not available on the Caddy.

The passenger compartment remained stable in the fronal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger. VW demonstrated that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. In the full width rigid barrier test, protection of the driver was good, apart from the chest, protection of which was adequate. Adequate protection was provided to the neck and chest of the rear passenger dummy, and good protection to the head and femurs/pelvis. The Caddy scored maximum points in the side barrier test, with good protection of all body regions. In the more severe side pole impact, protection was good or adequate but, as there was a gap between the sliding door and the B pillar after the test, the car was penalised. The front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injury in the event of a rear end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats showed that occupants would also be well protected there. Autonomous emergency braking is available as an option on the Caddy. As it is not standard, its functionality at the low, city speeds at which many whiplash injuries occur was not assessed.
