Volkswagen is known for its quality and safety, and the 2024 Volkswagen Golf R continues that tradition with multiple safety features designed to avoid accidents and keep you safe when a crash is unavoidable. Let’s explore seven active intelligent driver aids and safety features you’ll find on the new 2024 Volkswagen Golf R, which serve as a copilot whose only job is to protect you and yours on the roads. more Lane Assist A vital part of the safety systems on the 2024 Golf R, Lane Assist includes two separate features: Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Keep Assist (LKA). The LDW uses sensors to detect when you're swerving or veering out of your lane without your turn signal and will give you a warning. The LKA will use gentle nudges to help keep you in the lane. Emergency Brake Assist The emergency brake function is built into multiple safety mechanisms in the Volkswagen Golf R. This includes the Blind Spot Monitor, Collision Mitigation for the front and rear of the vehicle, Automatic Cruise Control, and the Rear Traffic Alert. When any of these features are engaged, and you can't slow down or stop in time, Emergency Brake Assist stops the vehicle for you. Blind Spot Monitor Radar sensors on your Golf R scan the area next to and behind your vehicle. As you change lanes, the Blind Spot monitor gives you a visual alert. If you begin to change lanes anyway, the system may countersteer you to avoid a collision. Travel Assist The Travel Assist feature reacts to vehicles traveling in the same direction, not oncoming traffic. It provides centered guidance to keep you safely in your lane. It also includes Automatic Cruise Control (ACC) which helps you maintain a safe distance and speed while cruise control is engaged. The ACC feature only works at minimum speeds of 15 to 20 miles per hour. Light Assist The Light Assist feature automatically turns on your high beams when you're in low-light areas on the road. It also automatically turns off your high beams when another vehicle is detected or you're in a well-lit area. Collision Mitigation Technologies The Collision Mitigation feature uses multiple safety functions, including Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) and Rear Traffic Alert (RTA). When it appears a collision is possible, you will receive a warning to slow down. If the sensors detect you are not slowing down enough, EBA will take over. RTA issues a warning as you back up to avoid a collision, but may engage the brakes for you. It works at speeds as slow as one to six miles per hour. Physical, Passive Crash Protection In the event of an accident, several safety features have been built into the Golf R to keep you, your passengers, and others as safe as possible. The Golf R is designed with a safety cage with rear and front crumple zones that absorb energy from the crash. The cage itself is very rigid and redistributes the force of the collision away from the driver and passengers. Many safety features are available in all 2024 VW models with automatic transmission.
