The passenger compartment of the Panda remained stable in the frontal offset test.  Dummy readings of driver chest compression indicated weak protection of this body area.  Test results showed good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger dummies.  FIAT showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions.  In the full-width rigid barrier test, dummy readings indicated weak protection of the head and neck.  Protection of the chest was marginal.  Dummy readings of rear passenger chest compression led to a low score for this body region, and this was further penalised because of high shoulder belt loads, leading to the protection being rated as poor.  Protection of the passenger's neck was also weak.  In the side barrier test, protection of the chest was rated as marginal, based on readings of rib compression, with other critical body regions being well protected.  No pole test was conducted.  Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated marginal protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision.  A geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated poor whiplash protection.  The Panda is not equipped with an autonomous emergency braking system.

In the frontal offset test, dummy readings showed poor protection of the head and neck for both the 6 and 10 year children. Chest decelerations indicated weak protection of the chest of the 10 year old. In the side barrier test, the head of the 6 year old dummy was not properly contained within the protective side of the restraint and dummy readings indicated poor protection of this critical body area, also causing high injury risks to the 10 year old due to head-to-head contact. Forces in the neck of the 10 year dummy indicated poor protection for that body areas. Overall, the Panda scored no points in the dynamic tests for its protection of children. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. However, the information provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag is not clear and the system was not rewarded. The Panda has ISOFIX but no i-Size anchorages in the rear outboard seats. Child restraints could be properly installed and accommodated in the Panda, except for the optional rear centre seating position.

The protection provided to the head of a struck pedestrian was predominantly adequate or marginal on the surface of the bonnet.  However, protection was poor along the windscreen base and on the stiff windscreen pillars.  Protection of pedestrians' legs was predominantly marginal but protection of the pelvis was at least adequate.

The Panda has a seatbelt reminder system for the front and rear seats.  However, the system did not meet Euro NCAP's requirements for the rear and only the front-seat system scored.  The Panda is not equipped with any other driver-assistance system which scores in Euro NCAP's rating scheme.
