SSP 140 – Volkswagen Golf Model 1992
With the 1992 Golf model, Volkswagen once again sets new standards.
The development of the new Golf was guided by decisive goals for people, the environment, and the automobile.
Environmental Protection
Following the corporate principle:
Avoid → Reduce → Reuse → Recycle → Dispose,
Volkswagen implements environmental protection in:
Research and development
Automobile production
Vehicle paint shops
In the vehicle itself
Service operations
Driving and Vehicle Safety
Active safety in the 1992 Golf is exemplary across all aspects, meaning:
Accident prevention through consistent advancement of:
Perceptual safety
Handling safety
Condition-based safety
Driving safety
The Golf 1992 also sets trends in passive safety, which focuses on preventing or mitigating accident consequences through engineered features:
Partner protection: Safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles
Self-protection: Occupant protection via a rigid survival space in all collision situations and directions
Product Quality
Pre-assembled, electrically and mechanically pre-tested modules (e.g., front end, cockpit, doors, sliding/tilting roofs) ensure maximum assembly and functional reliability.
Central connectors on modules and pre-wired engines guarantee secure connection to the central electrical system.
Curved, specially shaped sheet metal surfaces (e.g., around window openings) prevent wavy or recessed panels.
