When it comes to the safety of your vehicle, nothing beats third-party assurance. Your peace of mind is backed by the new Golf’s 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating*. It’s an unbiased guarantee that yet again, Volkswagen’s committed auto-engineers have considered every possible detail to help ensure your on-road safety.

The new Golf’s sophisticated design includes active safety features to enhance your protection. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) traction control are integrated into the Golf’s Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP). Helping to ensure the vehicle goes where you steer it. With the addition of Electronic Differential Lock (EDL), Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution (EBD), Hill Hold Control fitted in combination DSG transmission and Brake Assist, you know your safety is our top priority.

Within the new Golf’s high-strength protective cell, various new-generation safety features ensure your protection. A seventh airbag protects the driver’s knees - in addition to dual front, side, curtain airbags – offering a full-body cushioning to reduce physical stress. The new Golf also boasts safety optimised front head restraints, which combined with new enhanced seatback contours, help reduce whiplash injuries.
