Child occupant
Based on dummy readings from the dynamic tests, the Ibiza scored maximum points for its protection of the 1½ year dummy. The passenger airbag can be deactivated to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. However, information provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag is not sufficiently clear. No clear warning is given regarding the dangers of using a rearward facing child seat in the seating position without having first disabled the airbag. The presence of ISOFIX anchorages in the rear outboard seats is not clearly marked.
Pedestrian
The bumper scored maximum points for the protection it offered to pedestrians' legs. The bonnet was rated predominantly fair for its protection of a child's head. However, the protection offered to the head of a struck adult was rated as predominantly poor.
