Global NCAP has released the results of its crash-test of the South African-market Volkswagen Polo Vivo (see other results here).
The five-door hatchback scored three stars for adult occupancy and three for child occupancy protection, while its bodyshell integrity was rated as “stable”. The Polo Vivo features two airbags and ABS, but does without Isofix child-seat anchors and seatbelt tensioners.
Global NCAP reported that protection offered to the head and neck of the driver and front passenger was “good”. The driver’s chest received “adequate” protection, while the passenger’s chest received “marginal” protection. The bodyshell was rated as “stable” and “capable of withstanding further loadings”.
