Style
The new Fox. It’s stylish. It’s well built. It’s affordable. Oh, and it’s a Volkswagen. In fact, some people say those are all the reasons you need to buy one. But Volkswagen like to think there are a few more than that. It may be the smallest car in their range, but the new Fox has everything anyone could want in a car.

Safety
It may be small, but the new Fox is very big on safety - like every Volkswagen. The new Fox is built around a rigid, galvanised body that’s laser welded to ensure all of the panels sit tightly together. The end result is a body so strong, it can absorb impact energy and thereby protect the driver and passengers within a protective inner cell - just in case. These features have resulted in the new Fox achieving four stars in the Euro NCAP ratings. It goes without saying that the new Fox is also fitted with both driver’s and front passenger’s airbags as standard, as are three-point seat belts wiht height adjustment int he front and front and rear head restraints. If you need to brake suddenly, the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) will prevent the wheels from locking, helping you to keep control of the car. And because you can never be too careful, side airbags and front fog lights are available as an option, along with the Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP) which reacts to critical situations in milliseconds to adjust the engine’s power and braking.

Comfort/Economy
Lack of space is certainly no reason to buy a new Fox, once you’re inside you’ll be amazed how big Volkswagens small car actually is. A clever use of space and ergonomic design means the interior is both practical and stylish, providing plenty of room for both driver and passengers. Thoughtful touches such as an abundance of storage compartments, front cup holders, storage nets on the back of the front seats and a height-adjustable driver’s seat with a handy drawer beneath, all contribute to a feeling of spaciousness and comfort.
