Is Volkswagen Really Safe? Side Pole Tests from 2000 to 2026

Описание: Every official Volkswagen Side Pole CRASH TEST (2000-2026). Experience the brutal reality of a high-speed side impact where only 20 cm of steel and air protect the human body. This is a technical evolution of Volkswagen safety, showing how vehicle structures survive — or fail — when hitting a solid concrete pole.

Side pole impact is one of the most dangerous crash scenarios — a high-speed lateral impact into a rigid pole with minimal deformation space. Here you can clearly see how Volkswagen’s side structure, airbags, and occupant protection changed from the early 2000s to 2026.

Only models that officially underwent the Euro NCAP Side Pole Impact test are included.
If a specific Volkswagen model is missing, it means:
• it was not tested in this category, or
• it did not meet the technical requirements for side pole testing at the time.
