Industry News from Yes Insurance

Motorists who like to have a good comprehensive insurance policy and the safest possible vehicle in case of an accident may be impressed by the Volkswagen Golf.

The model has recently driven away with a maximum five-star rating, following Euro Ncap's crash tests.

Vehicles assessed under the programme now get one overall score, rather than separate marks for different areas.

The rating takes into account how well occupants are protected in the event of an accident, pedestrian safety and any technology fitted in the car that can help drivers avoid crashes in the first place.

Motorists who prioritise safety may welcome the fact the Golf is equipped with the Electronic Stability Programme as standard.

Volkswagen claimed the new overall rating should make it easier for car buyers to compare models.

Drivers who opt for vehicles with lots of safety features might find they qualify for relatively cheap comprehensive insurance, as providers may regard them as a lower risk than motorists with less advanced models.
