The Panda Cross scored maximum points in the dynamic impact tests for its protection of the 1½ year and 3 year dummies, both of which were sat in rearward-facing restraints. In the side barrier test, 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 child restraint to be used in that seating position. However, the switch to deactivate the airbag is not clearly labelled and the system was not rewarded by Euro NCAP. All of the restraint types for which the car is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the car.

The bumper offered predominantly poor protection to pedestrians' legs, while the protection offered to the pelvis region was mostly good. Tests on the bonnet surface showed predominantly adequate or marginal protection for the head of a struck pedestrian, with poor results recorded along the base of the windscreen and along the stiff windscreen pillars.

The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal offset test. Examination of the dummy readings and the high-speed films revealed that the head had made contact, through the deflating airbag, with the steering wheel. A penalty was applied and the driver's head protection was rated as adequate. At around the same time during the impact, with insufficient gas in the airbag, the chest contacted the rim of the steering wheel and, combined with dummy readings for chest compression, its protection was rated as weak. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and front passenger. Fiat showed 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's chest was marginal, despite the standard-fit seatbelt pretensioners and load-limiters. Without these, protection of the rear seat occupant was rated as poor for the head and the chest, and weak for the neck. In the side impact barrier test, the Panda Cross scored maximum points with good protection of all body areas. In the more severe side pole test, protection of all body areas was good except the chest, protection of which was adequate. Dynamic tests and geometric assessments indicated marginal protection against whiplash injuries for the front and rear seat occupants.
