Description

The passenger compartment of the up! remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the kneesand femurs of the driver and passenger. VW showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes andto those sitting in different positions. Chest protection of both dummies was marginal. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of thechest was again marginal for both occupants, with other critical body areas well or adequately protected. In the side barrier impact, allcritical body areas were well protected and the up! scored maximum points in this test. In the more severe side pole test, protection of thechest was adequate and that of other body areas was good. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protectionagainst whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated marginal whiplashprotection. An autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system is not available on the up!
