How Safe Are Volkswagen Cars?

When considering Volkswagen cars, many drivers think of sleek styling or innovative technology. Did you know that safety is also a top priority in Volkswagen vehicles? At North Penn Volkswagen, we’re outlining the exceptional safety features and ratings you can expect.

IIHS Top Safety Pick

The IIHS Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is reserved for some of the safest vehicles on the road. The 2024 Volkswagen Atlas, 2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, and 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 have each earned the distinction. To qualify, they must have the following ratings:

• Good rating in the small overlap front test
• Good rating in the original moderate overlap front test
• Good rating in the updated side test
• Acceptable or good rating for their standard headlights
• Acceptable or good rating in the pedestrian front crash prevention test

IQ.DRIVE® Features

Most new Volkswagen vehicles come equipped with the safety and driver-assist IQ.DRIVE® features. If you are ever unsafe or inattentive behind the wheel, they’ll warn you or will even react for you, if you do not or cannot in time. These features include:

• Active Blind Spot Monitor
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Emergency Assist
• Front Assist
• Lane Assist
• Rear Traffic Alert
• Travel Assist

Added Protection

While IQ.DRIVE® features can help you avoid a collision, in some cases, an accident is unavoidable. Many Volkswagen models are prepared to protect you in the event of a crash. They include front and rear crumple zones, a rigid safety cage, an Automatic Post-Collision Braking System, and an Intelligent Crash Response System.
