In both the frontal offset and side barrier tests, good protection was provided to all critical body areas for both child dummies, and the Amarok scored maximum points 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. One i-Size restraint could not be properly installed in the rear outboard seats as access to the top-tether is behind the seat back. Otherwise, all of the child restraint types for which the VW Amarok is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the car.

Protection of the head was almost completely good or adequate with some poor results along the front edge of the bonnet. The bumper provided good or adequate protection to pedestrians’ legs and protection of the pelvis was also mostly good. The autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system of the VW can respond to vulnerable road users as well as to other vehicles. The system performed adequately in tests of its response to pedestrians and well in tests of its response to cyclists, with collisions avoided in most cases.

The autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system of the VW Amarok performed well in tests of its reaction to other vehicles. A seatbelt reminder system is fitted as standard to the front and rear seats and the car is equipped with a system to detect driver fatigue. The lane support system gently corrects the vehicle’s path if it is drifting out of lane and also intervenes in some more critical situations. The speed assistance system identifies the local speed limit, allowing the limiter to be set appropriately.

The VW Amarok and Ford Ranger are corporate twins with identical structure and safety equipment. The two vehicles share a common rating, derived from some tests performed on the Ranger by ANCAP and some tests performed by Euro NCAP on the Amarok.
Share
The passenger compartment of the VW Amarok remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger dummies. VW demonstrated that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions. Analysis of the deceleration of the impact trolley during the test, and analysis of the deformable barrier after the test, revealed that the car would be an aggressive partner in a frontal collision and it was penalised accordingly. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of the chest of the rear passenger was marginal, based on dummy readings of chest compression but that of the dummy was good for all critical body areas. In both side barrier test, protection was good for all critical body regions and the Amarok scored maximum points in this test. In the more severe side pole impact, chest protection was rated as marginal, based on dummy readings of rib compression. Control of excursion (the extent to which a body is thrown to the other side of the vehicle when it is hit from the far side) was adequate. The Amarok has a counter-measure to mitigate against occupant to occupant injuries in such impacts. The system worked well in Euro NCAP’s tests, with good protection of the occupants’ heads. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric analysis of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection. The Amarok does not have an advanced eCall system but is equipped with a system to prevent secondary collisions.
