A curtain airbag for providing multiple coverage areas over a window opening includes a shared panel and first and second auxiliary panels. The shared panel is sized to span the height of a window opening upon the curtain airbag's deployment, and has an upper periphery, an opposing lower periphery and a central portion between the upper periphery and the lower periphery. The first auxiliary panel is connected to the shared panel at least along its upper periphery and along its central portion to define a first inflatable chamber configured for inflation to at least partially provide a first coverage area. The second auxiliary panel is connected to the shared panel at least along its lower periphery and along one of its central portion or its upper periphery to define a second inflatable chamber configured for inflation to at least partially provide a second coverage area.
