Front Vented Disc Brakes
Yet another upgraded safety feature VW chooses to offer standard that others don’t even offer. When you push the brake pedal, pads squeeze both sides of the disc creating heat. Our vented brake rotors are designed for autobahn speeds and can more effectively dissipate heat. When mated to the most effective ABS platform available to date, braking confidence is a standard feature.

Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
ABS stands for the Anti-lock Brake System. It’s an electronically regulated hydraulic braking system, which helps prevent the vehicle from sliding during hard braking by preventing wheel lock-up. ABS, some say it means "Always brake safely."

Crash Optimized Front End
The crash optimized front end has impact-absorbing elements which are integrated into the front structure. These elements allow compression of the front structure during impact. We don’t just watch out for our cars, we watch out for each other. It’s designed so the energy on impact goes into the car and not you.

-
Electronic Brake Pressure Distribution
Working in conjunction with our Anti-lock Braking System, EBD senses exactly how your VW is braking, then applies just the right amount of braking power to each individual wheel as needed. For example, brake hard and the weight shifts to the front of your car; EBD senses that and applies more braking up front. So if you’re ever forced to slam on the brakes there’s a better chance you’ll stay in a straight line. And in your lane.

Height Adjustable Telescopic Steering Wheel
If it’s easier for you to reach everything, it’s easier for you to drive more safely. This feature gives you a custom fit, while allowing the airbag* to be placed in the best possible position for you. Literally, and figuratively. Also, the steering column is designed to collapse like a telescope to help reduce impact on impact.

*Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy under all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age.

Pinch Protection on Power Windows
Every VW is equipped with power windows. It’s not because we think you ’re lazy, it’s because we think you deserve it. And they all have pinch protection, which helps reduce the risk of injury to a set of unsuspecting fingers when the windows are closing.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Every 30 seconds, the tire pressure monitoring system checks if any tire is losing air. And through a warning indicator on the instrument panel, you’ll be the first to know if a tire is low on air. Well, second to know. Just after the Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
