Automakers like Volkswagen take passenger safety very seriously, and the IIHS Top Safety pick rating proves that the 2019 Volkswagen Golf GTI is the right vehicle for safety-focused car shoppers. 

Since 2013, the IIHS Top Safety ratings have provided consumers an easy way to identify vehicles with the best safety features in their class. For 2019, the Golf GTI earned top honors of “good” in five of the six categories evaluated. The GTI earned an “acceptable” rating in the new passenger-side small-overlap frontal crash test. This new evaluation was added to give car shoppers a proper rating that reflects the overall safety of a person seated in the front passenger seat.
