The 2020 lineup of Volkswagens offers plenty of safety and technology features that help to make this brand so 
desirable. Let’s take a look at several of the best features for both tech and safety.
4MOTION Four-Wheel-Drive System
When you’re looking for a Volkswagen that can get you to remote locations, up steep dirt roads, through muddy terrain, and keep you safe in snow and ice, choose a model that has the 4MOTION Four-Wheel Drive System, like the Atlas or Tiguan. The system provides extra traction, acceleration, and grip around corners by supplying power to all four wheels at the same time. The 4MOTION system is ideal when you’re towing a heavy load like a boat, jet skis, or a trailer.
Car-Net Telematics System
The new generation of connectivity is available with the Volkswagen Car-Net System. This system includes Android Auto and Apple Carplay, so you can integrate your smartphone with the car to display information on the touch screen. You can make phone calls, play music from your preferred platform, and navigate to your destination with ease.
Car-Net also has the Security & Service feature, which can help you find your car if it’s stolen, locate your car wherever it’s parked, honk the horn, flash the lights, unlock and your car, and check on the status of your vehicle, all from your smartphone.
The Car-Net app on your smartphone has a few handy features. The app gives health reports and sends notifications when it’s time to take your car in for maintenance. If you have a young driver in the family, you can set boundaries, curfews, and speed limits, and the app will notify you if it leaves a certain area or exceeds the set speed.
Advanced Safety Features
Volkswagen comes with many standard safety features, however, there are several optional ones you may want to consider adding. The adaptive cruise control automatically adjusts the speed of the car to maintain a safe distance between vehicles. The adaptive headlights with automatic high beams adjust the brightness of the headlights when a car is approaching, and the lights can move and swivel to adjust for curves and elevation changes.
The lane departure warning with lane keep assist warn you when you’re drifting into another lane, and the lane assist automatically steers the car back into the correct lane. Some models also offer traffic-jam assist, which helps you stay in your lane in stop-and-go traffic up to 37 miles per hour. An optional Dynamic Road Sign Display uses a camera to show you road signs, like speed limits, stop signs, and school zones, on your dash. This display makes it easy for you to keep your eyes on the road and practice safe driving.
