Festive Family Drives: How Volkswagen’s MQB-A0-IN Platform Delivers 5-Star BNCAP Highway Safety

 October 31, 2026

Festive season in Keralam means long-distance road trips, driving home for family get-togethers, and exploring scenic routes from coastal highways to high-range hill stations. When traveling with loved ones during busy holiday travel periods, nothing matters more than uncompromised safety and highway stability.

At EVM Volkswagen, we believe true festive joy starts with absolute peace of mind. Built specifically for Indian roads, Volkswagen’s high-strength MQB-A0-IN platform forms the backbone of both the Volkswagen Taigun SUV and the Volkswagen Virtus sedan.

By securing prestigious 5-star safety ratings for both Adult and Child Occupant Protection across Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP (BNCAP) evaluation frameworks, VW vehicles set the gold standard for highway safety in India.

1. The Engineering Behind 5-Star BNCAP & GNCAP Protection

The MQB-A0-IN platform is far more than a structural frame—it is a protective safety cage designed to absorb crash impact energy before it reaches the passenger cabin:
