2015 Volkswagen GTI driver-side small overlap IIHS crash test

2015 Volkswagen GTI driver-side small overlap 40 mph IIHS crash test

Overall evaluation: Good

[blue-ckns]

Very safe car. I sadly totaled mine last year, and had no injuries whatsoever. Got me a Golf R afterwards

that headlight was like 'ight ima head out' 😂

[lucidsalt]

I feel bad for the person who has to clean up this mess every time a crash is done

[Driiven]

Kinda wild that 20lb battery just flies out the front like that

Took 60mph collision to my driver side door from an older Tacoma. Walked away basically unscathed. Car is so safe. The head movement between the air bags is actually optimal because it’s not about what you hit but the deceleration of mass that kills you. :)

Obligatory "in Poland we call that parking scratch" comment.

Even the ‘bang’ sounds expensive and tough, that’s Volkswagen quality for you

[hunterrees]

Survived this exact crash a month ago! Safe car, especially because mine was a rebuilt title’

How is there 4.2 million views with only 2 comments??

That's why the Golf GTi 2015 model year is the safest!

I own a 2019 Volkswagen Golf R. Do the crash test ratings for small/moderate overlap front, side, rear, and roof strength apply to this vehicle as well? I was under the impression that the GTI and Golf R are structurally identical even though the GTI is produced in Mexico while the Golf R is produced in Germany. Also, would the GTI’s Acceptable headlight rating in autobahn trim also apply to the Golf R as the R is also equipped with the same LED headlights?

This vw golf or Mazda 3 (2014-2019), which is safer?

Why is this just now getting so much attention?

Interesting to see your own car being crash tested...

I wish I could post a picture . One crashed in front on our house at 50-70
Took out a telephone pole then hit our massive pick up truck . Luckily we had a metal bumper .

That doesn’t look safe, his head almost misses airbag completely

[masonthefish]

You think because the dummy’s head went in between the airbags it would be rated acceptable

[hans]

How can you call this save? This is so bad… volvo and tesla are save

[copmy]

Not sure if you can survive in the real crash with this car?

[kosiekoos]

They had to drive very slow to pass this test. Ive s een too many GTis cut in half by softwood trees to believe this shoot
