Volkswagen of America, Inc.
announced today that the all-new, seven-passenger 2018 Atlas has earned a
5-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), which runs the government's New Car Assessment Program
(NCAP), and has provided consumers with vehicle safety information since 1978.
The 2018 Atlas joins the
Golf family as well as the Jetta, Jetta GLI and Passat as 2018 Volkswagen
models that have an overall 5-Star Rating. The 2017 Beetle Coupe also received
a 5-Star Rating.
NHTSA’s NCAP provides front, side, and rollover crash test ratings, all aimed at helping consumers in making their vehicle purchasing decisions. The rating results are relayed to consumers using an easily recognizable star rating system from one to five, with five being the best a vehicle can achieve. For details, visit www.safercar.gov.
“The Volkswagen Atlas is designed for the modern American family,” said Hendrik Muth, Senior Vice President, Product Marketing and Strategy. “There’s nothing more important than keeping your family safe and the Atlas is engineered to help do that with excellent structural integrity and numerous available safety and driver assistance features.”

Like the rest of the Volkswagen
lineup, Atlas provides an assortment of both passive and active safety systems.
It has been engineered to meet or exceed all current safety regulations and
features six airbags (driver, passenger, driver and passenger side, and
full-length curtain) as standard along with a number of electronic safety
systems. In addition to these safety features, the vehicle has the latest
version of Volkswagen’s 4Motion® all-wheel-drive system as an available feature
to help optimize traction and provide greater stability.
Atlas is the only vehicle in
its class to offer the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System, which is
standard on all models. This system builds on the premise that a collision is
rarely a single, instantaneous action, but rather a series of events that
follow the initial impact—the most significant of which can cause additional
collisions. The Automatic Post-Collision Braking System addresses this by
applying the brakes when a primary collision is detected by the airbag sensors,
thus helping reduce residual kinetic energy and, in turn, the chance of
additional damage.
Driver assistance systems
available on the Atlas include: Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous
Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Monitoring (Front Assist), Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC), Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Traffic Alert, Lane Departure
Warning (Lane Assist), front and rear Park Distance Control with Maneuver
Braking (ParkPilot), Parking Steering Assistant (Park Assist), High Beam
Control (Light Assist) and Overhead View Camera (Area View).
