Car safety

Safety first for you and your passengers

At Volkswagen, your safety is our priority. That’s why every car is built with a strong safety shell, crumple zones, multiple airbags (up to nine in some models), and Isofix child seat fixings as standard. Our tyre systems help keep you safe on the road, even when the unexpected happens. And, before any Volkswagen reaches you, it goes through thorough crash testing, with many models also independently checked by Euro NCAP

Our handy How-to Guides are full of tips and advice to help you make every journey as safe as possible
