Volkswagen of America announced today that the 2009 Volkswagen CC received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s Top Safety Pick award for 2009. To get the Top Safety Pick rating, a vehicle must earn the highest rating of good in the Institute’s front, side, and rear tests and be equipped with electronic stability control. The CC fits into all these measurement.
In terms of restraint systems, the CC comes fitted with standard driver and front passenger advanced multistage front airbags; driver and front passenger side-thorax airbags; head curtain airbags (front and rear); three-point safety belts front and rear; emergency locking retractors for all seating positions; optimized front head restraints; safety belt power pretensioners at the driver and front passenger positions; safety belt load limiters for driver, front passenger and rear outboard seating positions; tire pressure monitoring system; and rear seat LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) anchorage and top tether child seat attachments. A rear passenger side-thorax airbag system with safety belt pretensioners is optional.
In addition to the wealth of airbags available on the CC, the 2009 CC features standard electronic stability control, four-wheel anti-lock brakes (ABS), Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR), Brake Assist and Electronic Differential Locking (EDL). Additionally, potential customers can choose the optional 4Motion all-wheel-drive on the CC VR6 for even more safety.
"The TOP SAFETY PICK award from the IIHS is a tremendous honor for our CC," said Mark Barnes, Chief Operating Officer, Volkswagen of America, Inc. "We are thrilled when organizations like the IIHS recognize the hard work of our engineers who are dedicated to the safety of our customers. This award further validates Volkswagen's Prevent and Preserve Safety System approach to vehicle safety."
2009 Volkswagen CC carries a base price-tag of $27,100 and has a fuel economy of 21 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway.Source URL: https://carrevieeeew.blogspot.com/2009/06/2009-volkswagen-cc-gets-iihs-top-safety.html
