How Safe Are Volkswagen Cars?

With excellent safety ratings and cutting-edge safety-focused features, Volkswagen cars are great investments for family drivers or anyone looking for a safe drive. Many of our new models at Casey Volkswagen feature complete suites of preventative safety technology, giving you always-on protection that covers every side.

What Makes a Safe Car?

If you’re considering a new car, research its safety ratings online. You can look at the NHTSA report, which will give you a five-star score for safety, and the IIHS report, which evaluates cars from “poor” to “good”. You can also research the recall history of the brand or a particular model, which will give you an idea of previous issues.

Volkswagen IQ.DRIVE®

Most 2024 and 2025 Volkswagen vehicles come standard with IQ.DRIVE®, a suite of preventative safety technology that makes every drive easier. Front Assist monitors the road ahead, Lane Assist automatically kicks in above 35 MPH and keeps you centered, and the Active Blind Spot Monitor scans the hard-to-see areas behind your car. Plus, with Travel Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control, these features make driving easier, too.

Award-Winning Safety

There’s no better way to find a safe car than to peruse each year’s IIHS Top Safety Picks, awarded by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety to the safest models available. The 2024 Volkswagen Atlas made the cut, with its spacious interior and advanced technology making it a compelling choice. Electric vehicle shoppers will be pleased to know that the 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 also was singled out for its advanced features.
