Safety

The Volkswagen Golf GTI IQ. Drive features Travel Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) which uses radar and various sensors to detect vehicles ahead enhancing the safety aspects of the car.

Also included are Side Assist which acts as an active blind spot monitor, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert which warns drivers of potential danger when the reverse gear is engaged.

The Golf GTI also comes with Front Assist which is an Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) feature that uses a radar sensor integrated into the front of the vehicle to continuously monitor the distance to the vehicles ahead.

In addition to detecting vehicles, the latest version of Front Assist also detects pedestrians and cyclists crossing the road.

There’s also a new Lane Assist function that keeps the car in its lane using cameras. And in addition to that, there is also an Adaptive Lane Guidance function that also assists to keep the car in its lane, this is an adaptive function that learns from the driver’s driving characteristics.

Decent room for the family inside as what we had demonstrated before with the Golf GTI Mk 8, and its 374-litre of luggage compartment is unchanged.
