2012 VW Passat Named Insurance Institute for Highway Safety IIHS Top Safety Pick

Nov. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- Nine VW models named  IIHS Top Safety Pick - Jetta Sportwagen, Jetta sedan, Passat, Tiguan, Routan, Touareg, Golf,  GTI & CC. To determine crashworthiness — how well a vehicle protects its occupants in a crash — the Institute rates vehicles good, acceptable, marginal, or poor based on performance in high-speed front and side crash tests, a rollover test, plus evaluations of seat/head restraints for protection against neck injuries in rear impacts. To earn Top Safety Pick for 2011 a vehicle must have good ratings in all four Institute tests. In addition, the winning vehicles must offer electronic stability control.

Jennings VW in Glenview, IL reports that inventories of all 9 IIHS Top Safety pick winners are in good supply. Showroom and internet traffic is increasing as consumers choose more often the safety and reliability of the VW brand. Jennings VW is Illinois' #1 volume VW dealer since 1986 and is proud to offer great values on great German engineered vehicles.

This month, Jennings VW has availalble 0%APR financing for up to 66 months on select VW models including the Jetta sedan (gas models) CC, Tiguan, Touareg (gas & TDI).
