In the frontal offset test, protection of the 10 year dummy was rated as good or marginal. For the 6 year dummy, protection of the chest was rated as marginal and the of other critical areas as good or adequate. In the side barrier test, protection of both dummies was good. 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 regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. All of the restraint types for which the Arteon is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the car.

The Arteon has an 'active' bonnet. Sensors in the bumper detect when a pedestrian has been struck and actuators lift the bonnet, providing greater clearance to hard structures in the engine compartment. VW showed that the system operated robustly for a variety of pedestrian statures and over a wide range of speed so the car was tested with the bonnet in the deployed, raised condition. Protection was good or adequate over virtually the entire surface of the bonnet. The bumper provided good protection the legs of struck pedestrians and protection of the pelvis area was also good. The autonomous emergency braking system can detect pedestrians as well as other vehicles and performed well in Euro NCAP's tests of this functionality.

Tests of the autonomous emergency braking system at highway speeds showed good performance, with accidents avoided or mitigated in all test scenarios. The car has a driver-set speed limitation system and lane departure warning. A seatbelt reminder is standard for the front and rear seats.

The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger. VW 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 impact, protection was adequate for the chest of rear passenger but, otherwise, was good for all other critical body areas of the driver and rear passenger. In the side barrier test, good protection was provided to all critical body regions and the Arteon scored maximum points. In the more severe side pole impact, protection of the chest was rated as adequate and that of other body regions was good. 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 indicated good whiplash protection there also. Tests of the Arteon's autonomous emergency braking system showed good performance at low speeds typical of city driving, with accidents avoided at all test speeds.
