In both the frontal offset and side barrier tests, good protection was provided to all critical body areas for both child dummies, and the ID. Buzz 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. All of the child restraint types for which the VW ID. Buzz is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the car.

Protection of the head was very mixed, some areas showing good results and others being poor. The bumper provided good protection to pedestrians’ legs but protection of the pelvis was almost completely poor. 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 in tests of its response to cyclists, with collisions avoided in many cases.

The autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system of the VW ID. Buzz 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. A speed assistance system combines camera information with digital mapping to identify local speed limits and presents this information to the driver, allowing the limiter to be set appropriately.

The passenger compartment of the VW ID. Buzz remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger. VW demonstrated that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different position. Protection was good for all critical body areas of the passenger dummy. 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 a moderately benign partner in a frontal collision. In the full-width rigid barrier test, chest protection was rated as marginal for the rear passenger, based on dummy readings of compression but, protection of all critical body areas was good for both the driver and rear passenger. In both the side barrier test and the more severe side pole impact, dummy readings indicated good protection of all critical body areas. However, in the pole test, the curtain airbag got trapped on the interior trim and did not fully deploy as intended, so a penalty was applied to the head score in both side impacts. 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 ID. Buzz has a counter-measure to mitigate against occupant to occupant injuries in such impacts. The system performed 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 ID. Buzz has an advanced eCall system which alerts the emergency services in the event of a crash and a ‘multi-collision braking’ system applies the brakes to prevent secondary collisions.
