The safety checklist
At Volkswagen, your safety is of utmost significance to us. All our cars are equipped with world-class safety features, to ensure you and your loved ones are safe when in a Volkswagen. Safety has always been a part of our DNA. We believe there are cars and there are safer cars, so here are 5 steps to make the right choice.
1. Think inside-out

The best sound in a car isn’t always the engine roaring. It’s sometimes the little ones giggling in the back. Consider their safety with ISOFIX Child Seat Mounts.

GNCAP
The Global New Car Assessment Programme (Global NCAP) is a major project of the Towards Zero Foundation, a UK registered charity. It promotes the universal adoption of the United Nation’s most important motor vehicle safety standards worldwide.
The Volkswagen Virtus and Taigun have received the 5 star GNCAP rating for adult and child occupancy.
Why only Volkswagen can build a Volkswagen?
Less of a car. More of an armour. Carved out of galvanised steel, sourced from the finest steel makers in the world, Volkswagen cars are sturdier and safer by far. They also come with a 6-year anti-perforation warranty.
Sturdy as shell. A roof laser welding process seamlessly welds the roof to the body of the car, creating a dampness-proof flawless beauty.
Even our paints make the car stronger. Every Volkswagen car undergoes a unique 11-stage preparation process of chemicals and paints. This entire procedure ensures stone chip resistance, colour adhesion, UV protection and anti-corrosion.
Destruction test room. At Volkswagen we not only assemble a car, but also tear it apart. It is done in a special chamber called the destruction test room. This is done with a car of every model, every month; just to make sure that every part of the car complies with the most stringent Volkswagen standards of quality and safety.
Advanced machines to help make advanced marvels. It’s not just people that work to achieve the perfect body. At Volkswagen, inline measurement robots, with camera lens attached, measure the body accuracy of every car. Zero error body means a rigid and compact car that feels like new for years. Anything other than perfect and immediate corrective action is carried out.
