Multiple 2024 Volkswagen Models Named Cars.com’s 2024 Best Cars for Car Seats

SUVs are meant to be family models, as they offer more space than your average truck or sedan. Still, some models can have crowded interiors, so when you hook up the car seat in the back, you might feel cramped in the front. Volkswagen understands that this is a common problem, which is why they go above and beyond with their cabins. This year, three 2024 models have earned “A” ratings from Cars.com in their 2024 Best Cars for Car Seats segment.

Three Volkswagen Models Earn an “A” Rating

Volkswagen received three “A” ratings in the “2024 Best Cars for Car Seats” category. The winning models include:

• The Atlas: With room for seven passengers, this is a great SUV for larger families. On the inside, you’ll have a refreshing cabin that’s packed with the latest technology. This SUV is also pretty roomy, so you’ll be able to stretch out and relax.
• The Atlas Cross Sport: The Atlas Cross Sport offers seating for five, and like the regular Atlas, it focuses heavily on comfort. If you haven’t had the chance to test-drive this model, and you’re near Woodbury, Inver Grove Heights, or Burnsville, then you can visit us at Volkswagen of Inver Grove.
• The ID.4: The ID.4 is slightly different from the models above, as it doesn’t have an engine. This EV offers an EPA-estimated range of up to 291 miles, and on the inside, you’ll find everything from innovative displays to a wireless charger depending on your trim.

What Goes Into an “A” Rating?

Cars.com takes its testing seriously, which is why it had a certified child passenger safety technician check the seating. The website tested three different kinds of car seats, including a high-back booster, a convertible, and an infant seat. 

• Thinking of the Children: The safety of your children is more important than anything, which is why your next vehicle should offer more than enough room for a car seat.
• Ease of Use: In order to receive an “A” rating, the vehicle’s Latch system has to be straightforward and easy to use. The Atlas, the Atlas Cross Sport, and the ID.4 are all Volkswagen models that were designed with the family in mind, which helped them to achieve their new ratings.
• Taking Up Space: Legroom was an important factor in testing, as the technician checked to see if car seats in the back would cause a lack of legroom in the front.

SUVs That Go Above and Beyond

When you’re placing your kids in the back of your model, you should feel confident in its safety systems. Volkswagen models strive to go above and beyond when it comes to keeping your family safe and sound.

• Focusing On Safety: Comfort is important, but safety has to come before anything else, especially when you have kids in the back. Models like the 2024 Atlas Cross Sport come with six stability-enhancing systems. You can also find features like the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System, the Intelligent Crash Response System, and more.
• The Power of IQ.DRIVE: DRIVE equips your model with an Active Blind Spot Monitor, Adaptive Cruise Control, Travel Assist, Front Assist, Rear Traffic Alert, and more. When it comes to safety and security, Volkswagen is one step ahead.
