Volkswagen has always strived to balance innovation with safety, and the latest accolades from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) affirm their commitment. The 2024 Volkswagen Atlas and its sleek counterpart, the Atlas Cross Sport, have been distinguished with the 2023 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award. This commendation places them alongside the 2023 ID.4, painting a promising picture of safety across Volkswagen's lineup.
A Beacon of Safety Standards
Achieving the TOP SAFETY PICK+ is no small feat. Vehicles must undergo a rigorous battery of crashworthiness evaluations. Both the 2024 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport excelled across the board, demonstrating superior protection through the IIHS’s updated side test, and a trio of overlap front tests. Moreover, they shone brightly with good headlight ratings – a criterion that now must be met across all model trims to qualify for the award.
This accomplishment is further bolstered by the inclusion of a front crash prevention system. Volkswagen has taken meticulous steps to ensure the system not only exists but excels, garnering advanced accolades in the pedestrian crash avoidance assessments, both during the day and at night. Safety, it appears, is not bound by the sun’s schedule in Volkswagen's design ethos.
Intelligent Driving with IQ.DRIVE
Each model of the 2024 Atlas series is equipped with the IQ.DRIVE suite, a testament to Volkswagen's foresight in advanced driver assistance technology. With semi-automated features, IQ.DRIVE is like a vigilant co-pilot, providing lane centering and obstacle alerts, among other functionalities. This system's intricate network of radar, cameras, and sensors is the vehicle's sensory extension, offering an array of assistance features such as Travel Assist and Emergency Assist, adding layers of safety for various driving scenarios.
Front Assist, in particular, is a standout feature, designed to mitigate or avoid frontal collisions using visual, auditory, and physical cues. If necessary, it can even activate Automatic Emergency Braking to slow the vehicle, showcasing an intelligent system that intervenes when human reflexes may not suffice.
Comprehensive Safety Beyond Driving
The safety innovations in the 2024 Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport don’t end with crash tests and automated driving assistance. Volkswagen has integrated a suite of additional features to cover various aspects of vehicle safety and driver convenience. Exit Warning to alert of potential obstructions upon exiting the vehicle, Park Distance Control for precise maneuverability in tight spots, and Dynamic Road Sign Display for real-time traffic updates, are just a few of the thoughtful inclusions.
As Volkswagen’s latest models garner the highest honors in safety, they set a benchmark for the industry, proving that with the right technology and design, safety and sophistication can go hand in hand. The 2024 Atlas family is not just about reaching destinations but ensuring the journey there is as secure as possible.
