VOLKSWAGEN SAFETY CAGE
STEERING WHEEL

on impact.
The one time a New Beetle owner likes being caged
in is when it’s a rigid cell of reinforced, high-strength
steel that helps to ensure maximum protection.
Laser-welding helps to hold rigid pillars and pillar
attachments in place, while anti-intrusion side door
beams add to the cabin’s already sturdy construction.
AUTOMATIC LOCKING FEATURE
Locks automatically engage at 8 mph and
unlock automatically when airbags* deploy.

energy away from cab occupants.

ANTI-INTRUSION SIDE DOOR BEAMS
VW uses steel reinforcements in the doors,
which are designed to help absorb and
redirect impact energy upon a side impact.
New Beetle safety features
A New Beetle’s shape does more than make someone feel good.
It makes them feel safe. In a collision, the circular curves of the
car allow even force distribution throughout the reinforced body
panels. And the bumpers crush to help absorb energy, giving
other safety devices, like airbags* and safety belts, more time
to slow the driver’s body down.

Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy under all crash scenarios. Always use safety belts and seat
