Driver Assistance: A helping hand, where you need it
Park Distance Control
Park Distance Control helps take the guess work out of parking your car, while Maneuver Braking helps apply the brake automatically to help mitigate the chance of a collision with stationary objects while reversing into a spot. With Park Distance Control’s audio beeps and visual support, you’ll know if you’re getting too close to detected obstacles in front of or behind your car. It’ll also share additional information on your display, so you can see what’s behind your car as you reverse within a parking spot.*
Dynamic Road Sign Display
From traffic signs to speed limits, when you need a reminder about the signs on the road, the available Dynamic Road Sign Display helps share the information you want. It also features warnings for speed, restricted traffic zones and more, so you can remain focused on the road ahead.*
Light Assist
When driving at 18 mph or faster and your surroundings get dark, the Light Assist driver assistance feature turns on to help make sure the road ahead is lit, and when your speed slows to 12 mph, it turns off. You can set the high beams into “auto” mode, so they’ll automatically activate when there’s low light, and turn off when there’s an oncoming vehicle, or you enter an area that’s well lit by the environment or by traffic conditions.*
Park Assist Plus
The available Park Assist Plus feature puts into perspective the “will my car fit” debate when you come across the perfect parking spot. Not only can it sense the size of a space, but it will also help you do the parking, from start to finish, as you supervise. Parallel, perpendicular, or reversing—Park Assist Plus can help with them all.*

Safety
A lot goes in before you do
Safety is a core value to us. And while we can’t predict everything you might encounter, we can and do spend long hours trying to help you prepare for it.
Rear View Camera System.
Stay focused.
Benefit from the view of a wide lens while you’re reversing. It can help you see obstacles when backing up. It’s a little extra help where you want it.
Safety Cell
We’ve got a firm attitude about safety.
Front and rear crumple zones help absorb crash energy, while a rigid safety cell helps distribute forces away from the driver and passengers.
Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS)*
Intelligent by design.
In the event of a collision that deploys the airbags*, the ICRS can, in certain circumstances, turn off the fuel pump, turn on the interior lights, unlock the doors, and activate the hazard lights.* It helps react if you might not be able to.
Automatic Post-Collision Braking System
We like to think ahead.
Not every collision brings a car to stop. That’s why our vehicles include the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System. It can also help slow the vehicle down after a collision, helping reduce the chance of any additional impacts.
Six stability-enhancing systems
Equipped for peace of mind.
From Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution (EBD), which helps maintain appropriate stopping power during a hard-braking situation, to Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which can adjust engine throttle and apply corrective forces to the wheels that need them most, your vehicle is equipped with a total of six stability-enhancing systems.
Connectivity: Take your devices for a ride
Stay charged and connected on the go and get the internet connections that will keep up with you
Device Charging: Keep your compatible devices going for the long haul
Our 45-watt USB port charging and 15W wireless smartphone charger for compatible devices won’t leave you—or your passengers—without a charge.
Wi-Fi Hotspot: Internet on the go
VW Wi-Fi Hotspot* makes the ride fun for your passengers, connecting up to four Wi-Fi enabled devices. That’s entertainment, solved.
Premium Speech: Bring your in-vehicle voice assistant to the next level*
Get answers to a wide range of questions and requests on the road, from fun stops to shopping tips, with help from generative AI. Want recipe ideas on the way to the grocery store? More information about where you’re headed? Available Premium Speech has you covered—all you have to do is ask.
Take your apps for a ride
