Front impact
The passenger compartment remained stable during the impact. Structures in the dashboard presented a risk of injury to the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger. The passenger's chest was compressed more than the driver's.

Side impact
The T5 scored maximum points in the side impact. No pole test was performed as a head-protecting airbag is available only as an option.

Child occupant
The front passenger's airbag can be deactivated by a Volkswagen dealer. There was no clear label warning of the dangers of placing a rearward-facing child restraint in that seating position without first deactivating the airbag. The presence of ISOFIX anchorages in the rear seats was not clearly marked.

Pedestrian
Both the bumper and the front edge of the bonnet scores no points for its protection of pedestrians' legs. The bonnet was rated as predominantly weak for the protection it offered to the head of a struck adult or child.
