Putting Safety First in the Volkswagen Atlas

Oct 25, 2017

Buying a new car is a huge decision. There are so many things to consider from style to performance to cost to reliability to, arguably the most important factor, safety. Of course if you’re buying a model that has been around for a while you’ll have years, if not decades, of data and statistics to display the safety and protection that this vehicle provides. However, when a brand new model hits the lot the manufacturer has the opportunity to implement the most advanced, state-of-the-art safety features. For Volkswagen, safety is the top priority across their entire line, and the new Atlas is no different.

The focus on safety in the new Volkswagen Atlas begins way below the surface; specifically in its solid body construction. The high strength steel used adds solidity and sturdiness, while the rigid safety cage and crumple zones provide the highest level of protection for you and your passengers. The Atlas also boasts these advanced safety features:

Height adjustable whiplash-optimized head restraints
Extensive airbag system (front-impact, side impact, overhead)
Electronic stability control (ESC)
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
Engine braking assist (EBA)
Electronic brake pressure distribution (EBD)
Hydraulic brake assist (HBA)
Hill descent assist (HDA)
Post collision braking system
Rearview camera system
Brake override system
Intelligent crash response system
Rollover sensor system

These are only several of the latest safety and technology advancements available in the new Volkswagen Atlas. The Atlas is the latest example of Volkswagen’s commitment to safety. Come by Southpoint Volkswagen in Baton Rouge and test drive the all-new Atlas.
