In the frontal offset test, the Touran scored maximum points for its protection of the 3 year dummy, despite the fact that the height adjuster broke on the restraint in which the 3 year dummy was seated. Dummy readings were in line with VW's expectations, showing good protection for all parts of the body and while there was slightly greater forward movement than anticipated, this was not excessive. Protection of the 1½ year dummy, sat in a rearward-facing restraint, was good apart from marginally elevated chest decelerations. In the side impact, both dummies were properly contained within the protective shells of their restraints, minimising the likelihood of head impact with the car interior. The front passenger dummy 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 restraint types for which the Touran is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the vehicle, including those in the optional, iSize-compliant third row seats.

The bumper provided good protection to pedestrians' legs in all areas tested by Euro NCAP, and scored maximum points. However, the protection provided to the pelvic region was almost completely poor. The Touran has an 'active' bonnet. Sensors in the bumper detect when a pedestrian has been struck and actuators lift the bonnet to provide greater clearance between the surface and the hard structures in the engine compartment. VW showed that the system triggered robustly across a wide range of speeds and for many pedestrian statures so the car was tested with the bonnet in the raised position. Test results were almost exclusively good on the bonnet surface, with some poor results recorded only on the stiff windscreen pillars.

Electronic stability control is standard equipment. A seatbelt reminder is fitted for the front and rear seats, including the optional third row. An autonomous emergency braking system is available as an option and is expected to be sold in sufficient numbers to qualify for assessment by Euro NCAP. The system performed well in tests, with collisions being avoided at all speeds when approaching a slower-moving vehicle. A driver-set speed limiter is also an option. A lane departure warning system is an option that is not expected to be broadly fitted, so it did not qualify for assessment.

The passenger compartment of the Touran 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 frontal test, the Touran scored maximum points for its protection of the driver dummy, with good protection of all critical body areas. Protection of the rear passenger dummy was also good or adequate. In both the side impact barrier test and the more severe side pole test, the Touran scored maximum points with good protection of all critical body regions. The front seats and head restraints provided good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision, and a geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection. The Touran has an autonomous emergency braking system available as an option. As it is not standard equipment, it was not included in the assessment.
