Audi TT

The passenger compartment of the TT remained stable in the offset deformable barrier impact.  Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger dummies.  Audi 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 frontal impact (new for 2015), protection for the small female in the driver's seat was good for all body areas except the chest, protection of which was adequate.  Audi showed that a very similar level of protection would be provided for the same size of occupant in the front passenger seat.  Although Audi does not recommend the use of the rear seats for persons taller than 1.45m for safety reasons, Euro NCAP used the 1.50m small female dummy in the rear, passenger-side seat, in keeping with its protocols.  The test car, sourced in the UK, was equipped with rear seatbelt pre-tensioners, although this is not standard equipment everywhere in Europe.  In the test, the head of the dummy contacted the rear of the front passenger seat, but injury values were low and protection was rated as good.  Protection of the neck was adequate while measurements of chest compression indicated a marginal level of protection for this part of the body.  In the side barrier test, the TT scored maximum points, with good protection of all parts of the body.  Even in the more severe side pole impact, the TT provided good protection to all parts of the dummy and scored full points. Euro NCAP tested the variant that is currently available in the UK, fitted with non-standard alcantara seats.  Those front seats provided good protection against whiplash injury in the event of a rear-end collision but a geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated poor whiplash protection.  The TT does not have a low-speed autonomous braking system.
