Adult & child head impacts: 19.29 points
Upper leg impacts: 0.80 points
Lower leg impacts: 6.00 points
AEB (VRU): 0.00 points

This vehicle scored 26.09 out of 42 points (Acceptable). The Tiguan has an 'active' bonnet. The system was tested with the bonnet in the raised position. Test results were almost exclusively good or adequate. The bumper showed good results at all test locations and scored maximum points for its protection of pedestrians' legs. However, the pelvis area was not well protected with poor results at almost all test locations. Autonomous emergency braking (Vulnerable Road User) is available in Europe and was awarded points by Euro NCAP but this system is not available in Australasia. (Tested by Euro NCAP v8.2)
