Active protection
The 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 Start Assist (HSA) fitted in combination DSG transmission and Brake Assist, you know your safety is our top priority.

Optimal safety
The Golf comes equipped with a Crash Impact Sound Sensor (CISS). This innovation detects the sound frequencies of noises typically made during an accident and cross-checks them against deceleration sensors. The split-second calculation activates the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners when needed, in above-average time. CISS also recognises minor accidents ensuring your airbags will not unnecessarily deploy. 

Impregnable defence
Within the Golf’s high-strength protective cell, various next 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. In addition, the Golf boasts safety optimised front head restraints. These combined with enhanced seatback contours, help to reduce whiplash injuries.

Award-winning safety features
When it comes to the safety of your vehicle, nothing beats third-party assurance. Your peace of mind is backed by the Golf’s 5 star safety rating from the independent Australasian motor vehicle safety assessors, ANCAP^. 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.
