2016 VW Golf earned 2015 Top Safety Pick

Even before power and performance, safety is a key category in choosing a new car. After all, what good is horsepower and acceleration if you can’t take your car out of the lot or get securely where you need to go? That’s what makes it so exciting that the 2016 VW Golf earned 2015 Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) along with the 2016 VW Golf GTI, 2016 Golf Sportwagen, 2016 Golf GTI and 2016 VW Jetta. Each of these models, when equipped with the Volkswagen Driver Assistance Package, has been recognized as one of the safest vehicles on the road.

What makes these such great vehicles is a combination of the latest technological innovation and serious crash protection. The Driver Assistance Package, which includes forward collision warning and autonomous emergency braking system offers a host of radar based safety adaptations to make everything from your morning commute to a long Labor Day Weekend expedition as safe as it can be.

This technology can detect the distance between your car and other vehicles on the road, and take steps to protect you from sudden changes in traffic patterns. It can warn you in advance of serious collisions, brake on your behalf if it seems like a crash is imminent, or even optimize braking if you don’t hit the pedal as hard as necessary to avoid impact. Other safety and convenience features like lane departure, blind-spot, and rear cross-traffic warnings as well as parking sensors are included in this package.

The 2016 VW Golf, Golf Sportwagen, Golf GTI, and Jetta also received top marks in IIHS crash tests in moderate overlap front collisions, side impact, roof strength, head restraint safety and an acceptable or good rating in the new small overlap front impact test. All this means that if the Driver Assistance Package cannot keep you from an accident, then each of these vehicles will still protect you and your loved ones from harm.

The first shipment of the 2016 VW Golf, Golf GTI, and Jetta arrived at Broadway Automotive last month. Schedule your test drive today to get a firsthand feel for the safety and innovation offered by these cutting edge Volkswagen vehicles.
