In both the frontal offset test and the side barrier impact, protection was rated as good for all critical body areas of both the 6 and 10 year dummies, and maximum points were scored in this part of the assessment. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child 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. Optional i-Size anchorages are available for the front passenger seat. All of the child restraints for which the vehicle is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the car.

The protection offers to the head of struck pedestrian was mostly good or adequate on the bonnet surface but was weak or poor along the base of the windscreen and on the stiff windscreen pillars. The bumper offered predominantly adequate protection to pedestrians’ legs but protection of the pelvis area was mixed. The autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system detects vulnerable road users, as well as other vehicles. In tests of its response to pedestrians, the system performed adequately. In tests with a cyclist target, the system performed well, with collisions avoided or mitigated in most scenarios.

A seatbelt reminder system is standard for the front and rear seats, but the car is not equipped with a system to monitor driver fatigue or impairment. Local speed limits are detected and the information provided to the driver who can then set the speed limiter appropriately. A lane support system gently corrects the vehicle’s path when it is drifting out of lane and also intervenes in some more critical situations to prevent the car leaving the road, for example. The autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system performed well in tests of its response to other vehicles.

The Nissan Townstar is, in all ways related to safety, identical to the Renault Kangoo tested by Euro NCAP. Accordingly, the rating of the Kangoo, published in 2021, can be applied also to the Nissan Townstar.

The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings demonstrated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger dummy. Renault showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions. Protection of the driver dummy’s chest was rated as marginal, based on measurements of compression during the test. Analysis of the deformable impact barrier after the test, and of decelerations of the trolley during the test, indicated that the vehicle would be quite a benign crash partner in collisions with other vehicles. In the full-width rigid barrier impact, protection was rated as good or adequate for all critical body regions, for both the front driver and rear passenger. In the side barrier impact, protection was good for all critical body areas and the car scored maximum points. In the more severe side pole test, chest protection was adequate and that of other body regions was good. An assessment of dummy excursion (the extent to which the dummy moves to the opposite side of the car in an impact from the far side), demonstrated poor performance. There is no counter-measure for occupant to occupant impacts in a side impact. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection.
