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.
Thelen Volkswagen in Bay City has several 2019 VW Jetta models for you to choose from. Stop in today and let us tell you more about this safety-minded and innovative tech-filled efficient sedan!

There are many things you can count on when you buy your new Volkswagen car, crossover, or SUV at Thelen Volkswagen. You know you are getting a feature-filled and innovative vehicle, backed by the trusted Thelen VW dealership. That trusted name also means you can count on an excellent value since we keep our vehicle pricing competitive to the local market. But, did you know you will receive America’s Best Bumper-to-Bumper Transferable Warranty with your VW vehicle purchase?
Volkswagen is proud to offer the People First Warranty. Why? Because VW believes it is important to put the needs of consumers above all else. This is represented in the quality vehicles produced by Volkswagen and this warranty shows proof of just how confident VW is in the vehicle quality.
The People First Warranty is a New Vehicle Limited Warranty for 6 years or 72,000 miles, whichever comes first. It comes with model year 2018 and newer vehicles (excluding the e-Golf). The warranty generally covers repairs to defects in manufacturer workmanship or materials. That includes issues with the powertrain components as well as the great selection of innovative interior features. This warranty is longer in years and mileage than our competitors’ warranties (based on the published data regarding the bumper-to-bumper/basic warranty on other vehicles).
The warranty has another exceptional benefit — it is transferable. If you sell your Volkswagen to a new owner during the warranty coverage period, the warranty will transfer to that new owner at no cost to you! This could be an excellent selling point should you decide to sell your vehicle during the warranty coverage.

Two VW vehicles have won Vincentric’s Best Value in America awards for their respective segments. The VW Beetle topped the compact segment while the Volkswagen Passat won the midsize segment. These awards are based on Vincentric’s evaluation indicating which vehicles in each segment deliver the best value for the buyer. They use a statistical analysis to evaluate the current market price along with the total cost-of-ownership to help determine value. Some factors taken into consideration include depreciation, financing, fuel economy, maintenance costs, and insurance rates. The Best Value award winners represent the vehicles with a lower than expected cost of ownership for their segment and price. One of the reason Vincentric honored the Beetle was for having the lowest maintenance costs in its class which helped to lower the overall cost of ownership. Similarly, the Passat was especially strong due to its low operating costs compared to other mid-size passenger cars.
The 2019 VW Beetle will be the last year of Beetle production. Two Final Edition models have been added for this year. So, this is a super time to buy your award-winning Beetle. The Volkswagen Passat provides an award-winning blend of technology, comfort features, stylish and sophisticated design, and excellent road manners. Both vehicles come with VW’s amazing People First Warranty which provides a 6-year or 72,000-mile (whichever comes first) bumper-to-bumper New Vehicle Limited Warranty. This warranty offers excellent powertrain coverage and can be transferred if the vehicle is sold.
