In the frontal offset test, the 1½ year dummy, sat in a rearward-facing restraint, indicated a marginal level of protection to the head and good protection to other parts of the body. Forward movement of the 3 year dummy, sat in a forward-facing restraint, was not excessive but high neck tension resulted in an adequate overall rating for protection of that age-group. In the side impact, both dummies were properly contained within the protective shells of their restraints, minimising the likelihood of head contact with parts of the vehicle interior. 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 child restraint for which the car is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the car.

The i20 provided good protection both to the leg and the pelvis, and scored maximum points in these tests. The bonnet offered predominantly good or adequate protection to the head, with some poor results recorded only on the stiff windscreen pillars.

The i20 has electronic stability control as standard equipment. A seatbelt reminder is also provided as standard for all seating positions. A driver-set speed limiter and a lane departure warning system are both available as options but are expected to be fitted to most cars sold so were included in the assessment and met Euro NCAP's requirements.

The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and front passenger. Hyundai showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different statures and to those sat in different positions. In the full-width rigid barrier test the restraint systems provided adequate protection to the driver's chest and to the rear passenger's neck and chest, and good protection to other body regions. In both the side impact barrier test and the side pole test, dummy readings showed good protection for all critical body areas. However, during both tests, the rear edge of the curtain airbag was trapped by part of the interior trim so did not fully deploy as intended. This was penalised and the protection of the head was rated as adequate. Hyundai are investigating the cause of the unintended airbag deployment behaviour. Tests showed that good protection against whiplash injuries would be provided to front seat occupants. A geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated a marginal level of protection against whiplash injuries. The i20 does not have an autonomous emergency braking system.
