Car safety
Top protection for you and your passengers
At Volkswagen, we take your safety very seriously. That's why we build our cars to offer maximum protection in the event of an accident. Crumple zones - part of the tough safety shell, airbags (up to 9 in some models) and Isofix child seat fixings are standard in all Volkswagen. And our tyre checking and repair systems help keep you safely on the road, even when the unexpected happens. Our cars go through a comprehensive programme of crash tests before they are launched onto the market. Many models are also subject to independent Euro NCAP testing, more details of which can be found in the Euro NCAP section of this website.
Braking and stability systems
We're constantly developing new technologies to help keep your car safe and smooth on the road.
Airbags
Airbags are an essential safety feature. They cushion the impact of collisions, reducing the risk of injury.
Crumple zones
Crumple zones are part of the tough safety shell of our cars, helping to protect you and your passengers in the event of an accident.
Child safety
Your child's safety is a priority - for us, as well as you. That's why we use Isofix child seat fixings in all our cars.
Euro NCAP
Your protection is a priority for us, so we welcome these tough independent crash tests carried out on our cars.
Tyre pressure and flat tyre sensors
We've got lots of ways to help you keep driving safely.
Locking and security systems
We like to make life easier for you and more difficult for thieves, so we fit a range of security systems to our cars.
Driver Alert System
Our new Driver Alert System gives early warning of when you need to take a break on long and tiring journeys, making motorway driving safer.
