As you would expect from a car designed with the family in mind, Roomster puts safety
first. It has achieved the top mark of five stars in the Euro NCAP rating for adult
passenger protection, four stars for child safety and two stars for the pedestrian test.
The safety of passengers was one of the most crucial aspects in the development of the Roomster.
The high safety level has been achieved by using the latest design methods, progressive
technological solutions and state-of-the-art vehicle construction techniques.
An essential element of any car involved in a crash is a carefully designed structure. The
Roomster is designed in such a way that in the case of a collision, defined load bearing paths
spread the energy generated in a controlled manner, leading these into the assemblies in the
floor of the vehicle. The front part of the car can deform in a clearly defined manner and
the interior space remains a survival space for the passengers.
In all internal crash tests, the biomechanical loads upon the occupants have remained far
below the prescribed values.
As standard, the Skoda Roomster comes with five three-point seat belts on all seats,
including the centre rear seat. Seat belts in the front are height-adjustable and fitted
with pre-tensioners. Additionally, the Roomster comes with six airbags – driver and
passenger, side and curtain. The front passenger airbag can be deactivated if a child seat
is fastened to the front passenger seat.
The robust door sills and pillars and the doors themselves with triple reinforcement play
an important role during a side impact.
