Two Volkswagen Models Earn Prestigious Top Safety Pick+ Designation!

Last week Volkswagen of America, Inc. was thrilled to announce that two—the 2015 Volkswagen Golf and 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI—of its top-selling vehicles earned the coveted 2014 Top Safety Pick+ designation from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS). For this year’s ratings, earning the designation became even harder than in previous years. Keep reading to find out more!

In order to earn a Top Safety Pick+ designation, you must first meet the criteria of meeting the equally prestigious, but slightly less challenging Top Safety Pick designation. To earn the Top Safety Pick designation, you must score the top score of Good in the IIHS’s moderate frontal overlap, side impact, roof strength, and rear crash protection tests as well as a Good or an Acceptable (the second highest rating) in the very hard small overlap frontal crash test. To receive the Top Safety Pick+ rating, you must meet the Top Safety Pick criteria, as well as earn a basic, advanced, or superior rating in front crash prevention. This takes into account the new technological safety features on vehicles.

Safety features on both these models include both passive and active systems that have been engineered to meet or exceed all current crash regulations. They both feature a number of electronic and mechanical Driver Assistance programs, including an automatic post-collision braking system, electronic stability control, traction control, multiple airbags, forward collision warning, and front and rear park distance control systems.
