5-Star safety rating

The Golf is German Engineered to the highest of safety standards. ANCAP (Australasian New Car Assessment Program) are the leading independent vehicle safety advocate.

Travel assist

Travel Assist helps you stay in lane, maintain safe distance, and follow speed limits. It adapts to your driving style and can optionally assist with lane changes on highways (with compatible equipment). Emergency Assist (optional) can detect inactivity and bring the car to a stop in an emergency.

Lane assist

Lane Assist helps you stay in your lane, while Side Assist warns you of vehicles in your blind spot. Rear Traffic Alert warns you of vehicles approaching when you're backing out of a parking space.

Keeps its distance

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) helps maintain a set speed and distance to the vehicle in front. The standard Front Assist emergency braking system with pedestrian and cyclist monitoring can warn you of critical situations and brake automatically if needed. Front Assist can also help prevent accidents in evasive and turn-off situations.

Designed to make a statement

Designed to get you where you need to go while having fun doing it. Every journey is a thrill with its increased turbocharged engine and exhilarating acceleration only the Golf GTI can deliver.
