The passenger compartment of the T-Roc 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 rigid barrier test, protection was good or adequate for all critical body regions of both the driver and rear passenger.  In both the side barrier test and the more severe side pole impact, protection of all critical body areas was good and the T-Roc scored maximum points.  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 T-Roc has a standard-fit autonomous emergency braking system.  Tests of its performance at the low speeds, typical of city driving, at which many whiplash injuries are caused revealed good performance, with impacts avoided at all test speeds.

In the frontal offset test, protection of both child dummies was good for all critical body areas.  Similarly, in the side impact test, protection of all critical body areas was good for both dummies.  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 T-Roc 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 mostly good or adequate, with some poorer results around the base of the windscreen and along the stiff windscreen pillars.    The bumper provided good protection to pedestrians' legs while protection of the pelvis was more mixed.  The autonomous emergency braking system performed well in tests of its pedestrian detection, with impacts mostly avoided or mitigated.

The T-Roc has, as standard, a seatbelt reminder system for the front and rear seats, a lane support system and an autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system.  Tests of the AEB system at highway speeds demonstrated good performance with most collisions avoided or mitigated.  A driver-set speed limiter is available as an option but is not included in this assessment.
