THE Golf GTI can be regarded as one of the most attractive Volkswagen cars around, with the 2023 version being leaner, meaner, and safer compared to its predecessors with the inclusion of IQ.DRIVE technologies. These are cutting-edge abilities that are designed to help provide a safer and more comfortable driving experience to those behind the wheel.
The safety features that are included in the upgraded Golf GTI 2023:
Travel Assist
From steering support to speeding up or slowing down, IQ.DRIVE helps keep your mind at ease. Volkswagen’s engineers would tell you it’s because it has hands on semi-automated driving capabilities, but we like to think of it as an added boost of reassurance to help keep you safer on the road.
Adaptive Cruise Control
When the road gets busy, IQ.DRIVE can help keep things cruising. When dealing with traffic on the highway, it uses sensors to detect vehicles ahead of you, helping adjust your speed, and manages the distance between you and what’s in front of you, adapting to the situation you’re in.
Active Blind Spot Monitor
When you’re focused on the journey ahead, your vehicle’s IQ.DRIVE can help by alerting you to when another vehicle may be hiding in your blind spots and helping to provide counter-steer when necessary.
Rear Traffic Alert
You cannot always see what might be crossing behind you when reversing out of a parking spot or backing out of a driveway. IQ.DRIVE can help monitor what’s behind, alerting you when cars and motorcycles that could cause a collision are detected and helping hit the brakes before it’s too late
Front Assist
Even when we’re driving at our best, we still need to keep an eye out to avoid accidents with other cars or pedestrians in front of us. Thankfully, IQ.DRIVE monitors the road ahead with the ability to help the car brake on its own.
It will first provide audio and visual alerts when you’re driving at higher speeds and at risk of a potential collision. Then, if necessary, it will automatically apply brakes to help mitigate or avoid that collision.
Emergency Assist
When something serious happens and you lose the ability to drive, IQ.DRIVE can help bring the car to a stop. First, it will alert you numerous times and if you are not responsive, it will bring the car to a controlled stop, helping to keep you and others on the road safe.
Lane Assist
No matter what kind of road you’re driving on, if you are 35 mph or faster, IQ.DRIVE can help keep you from going over the lines. If your vehicle begins to drift without your turn signal on, IQ.DRIVE can warn you and counter steer when activated to help ensure you stay in your lane.
