Passive 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 Volkswagens. And our tyre checking and repair systems help keep you safely on the road, even when the unexpected happens. All these measures mean our cars score highly in the Euro NCAP independent safety ratings.

Euro NCAP

Your protection is a priority for us, so we welcome these tough independent crash tests carried out on our cars.

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 for you. That's why we use Isofix child seat fixings in all our cars.

Tyres and flat tyres indicator

We've got lots of ways to help you keep driving safely.
