The Tribeca has performed well in US crash tests but hasn’t been crash tested by Euro NCAP which uses different criteria. Stability control, front, side and curtain airbags, and active head restraints are standard across the range. Isofix child seat mountings are also fitted in the second row.

The two least expensive Tribeca models are five-seaters (S5 and SE5) and offer flexible interior room and luggage space. With the third row of seats in use on the SE7 model there is still a decent amount of luggage space behind them. There is a storage box in the front armrest which makes up for the small glovebox and in five-seat versions there are extra storage compartments hidden under the boot floor.

The luggage area has two 12-volt power outlets, and a retractable cargo cover is standard on five-seat models. SE models come with a rear-view camera for safer reversing.
