The passenger compartment of the Tourneo Connect remained stable in the frontal offset test.  Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger.  Ford 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, the pelvis of the driver dummy slipped under the lap portion of the seatbelt.  Protection of the pelvis was rated as poor but that of other critical body areas was good or adequate.  Protection of the chest of the rear passenger dummy was rated as marginal, based on dummy readings of chest compression, but protection was otherwise good.  In both the side barrier test and the more severe side pole impact, protection of all critical body areas was good and the Tourneo Connect scored maximum points in these tests.  Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injury in the event of a rear-end collision.  A geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection.  The autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system performed well in tests of its functionality at the low speeds, typical of city driving, at which many whiplash injuries are caused.

In the frontal offset test, all critical body areas of both the 6 and 10 year dummies were well protected.  However, the seatbelt partially slipped away from the shoulder of the 10 year dummy during the test and the score was reduced.  The car scored maximum points in the side barrier impact, with good protection all-round.  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 to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded.  All of the restraint types for which the Tourneo Connect is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the car.

The protection provided by the bonnet to the head of a struck pedestrian was adequate over most of its surface, with some poor results recorded on the stiff windscreen pillars. The bumper provided good protection to pedestrians' legs and scored maximum points in Euro NCAP's tests.  Protection of the pelvis was also predominantly good.  The AEB system can detect vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists.  The system performed adequately in tests using a pedestrian dummy and was rated as marginal in the more challenging tests using a simulated cyclist.
