With so much attention place on the larger SUVs these days, consumers often ask us at our Baltimore VW dealership if small vehicles are still safe on the road today. While it's true that in the past, smaller vehicles may not have had the best reputation when tested in crash tests, today's smaller vehicles have many more safety features than every before.
One plus of smaller vehicles from Antwerpen Volkswagen is fuel economy. You get better gas mileage on a smaller VW than with the larger model types. Additionally, you also have lower maintenance costs with a smaller vehicle.
When it comes to safety, consumers can check out the results of the government crash test ratings on any vehicle by visiting Safecar.gov. The rating system is a star-based rating system with 5 stars meaning the highest ratings for crash-test safety. The higher the star rating, the more likely it is you will survive a crash. These ratings are also displayed on the window stickers of new Baltimore Volkswagens for customers to review.
If you still have concerns about the safety of a smaller vehicle, stop by our Maryland VW dealership to ask our professionals about the safety extras that can be added on to your vehicle. We take safety seriously and know our customers want the most reliable vehicles on the road.
Remember also that while your vehicle's safety is partly depending on the manufacturer, driver safety is also a big part of the equation. Driving distracted with texting and cell phone use is a dangerous situation that can cause injuries and fatalities to you, your family, and other vehicles on the road. Use common sense when driving and avoid distractions that can make you lose focus and control of your Antwerpen Volkswagen.
