Safety
All 2010 Volkswagen GTI models feature driver and passenger front air bags, driver and front passenger side thorax air bags, side curtain air bags, and front safety belt pre-tensioners. In addition, all GTI models are equipped with standard ESP (stability control), ASR (anti-slip control), ABS (anti-lock brakes), and a tire-pressure-monitoring system.
Technology
What started as hot-hatch economy car has moved upmarket over the past two decades. As a result, the 2010 Volkswagen GTI features technology typically found on much more expensive models. The GTI will be available with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)—a system utilizing five laser beams to “read” traffic in front of the vehicle and maintain a safe driving distance. Available Park Assist Generation II enables nearly automatic parallel parking with minimal driver input, while bi-Xenon headlamps with dynamic curve lighting swivel through 13 degrees of movement to follow the curves in the road and maintain illumination for increased safety.
