Volkswagen is known for producing quality vehicles with an emphasis on efficiency and safety. So, it is no surprise that so many VW models have received the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 5-star overall safety rating from the New Car Assessment Program. The most recent VW model to earn this impressive safety rating is the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta. This joins the VW Atlas, VW Golf family (excludes e-Golf), and VW Passat in earning this honor. The rest of the 2019 model lineup has not yet been rated by NHTSA but we are expecting good results from those models as well!
The NHTSA NCAP testing looks at front, side, and rollover crash test results to provide an easy-to-recognize star rating system. Five stars is the best a vehicle can earn and represents a vehicle with the safety one will appreciate in their vehicle.
The VW Jetta provides an impressive variety of safety systems, both active and passive. This includes six airbags standard, including driver, passenger, full-length curtain, and driver and passenger side). Also standard on all Jetta trims is the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System. With this system, VW acknowledges the fact that a collision is often a series of impact events that begin with that initial impact. Additional collisions caused by residual kinetic energy can lead to increased damage. This system applies the brakes after a collision is sensed by the airbag sensors which reduces the chance of further collision damage. In addition, your Jetta might come with an assortment of driver-assistance features. These include Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Traffic Alert, Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Assist.
