QUALITY

To us, every little thing matters. From
the precise fit between body panels to
the solid thunk when you close the
door. That’s why the quality of every
Volkswagen is instantly recognized and
felt. Because we’ve thought about
every detail of every car, every step of
the way — from building our vehicles
with laser seam welds to making sure
each one is finished to the highest
standard, you could say quality is one
of our best qualities.

SAFETY

Beneath that attractive exterior, you’ll find
even more attractive features designed
to help keep you safe. Numerous active
safety features help reduce the likelihood

of a collision occurring in the first place.
And should the unthinkable become
unavoidable, we’ve implemented multiple
passive safety systems to do our very best
to help protect you and your passengers.
Our focus on safety is pretty clear to see.

PERFORMANCE

You may never see the autobahn, but
that didn’t stop us from engineering
each Volkswagen as if that roadway
were your daily commute. You’ll know
it as soon as you turn the key and turn
onto the nearest road. That’s when you
realize how all the parts on a VW work
together beautifully and seamlessly —
especially after you’ve added the final
piece: the driver.
