The Volkswagen Routan performed exceptionally well in keeping passenger safe in front, side, and rear crashes as well as during the roof-strength test. The Routan also comes with electronic stability control and head protection airbags. Electronic stability control was a new requirement for the award this year.

The VW Routan became the ninth Volkswagen model to be honored with the 2011 IIHS Top Safety Pick award. Volkswagen leads the U.S. industry for automakers with the IIHS awards.

Loaded with a crash-optimized front-end, electronic stability control, and seven airbags, families know they are protected when driving the Routan.

The Routan also offers plenty of flexibility for space for families whether they are traveling, hauling, or a mix of both. Families have a total of 144 cubic feet of storage space to play with as well as the ability to fold down the third-row completely flat. With an impressive 3,600 lbs of towing capacity, the Routan is ready to haul whatever is needed on the inside or trailing behind.

Families can enjoy traveling in the Routan with leather seats and available three-zone climate control so everyone can have their desired temperature and comfort while driving.
