When it comes to choosing a new vehicle, safety sits at the top of nearly every driver’s list. Volkswagen understands this, which is why they created VW IQ.DRIVE—a suite of advanced driver-assistance features designed to make every drive safer, smarter, and more enjoyable. Available across much of the Volkswagen lineup, IQ.DRIVE brings semi-automated technology and peace of mind to your daily commute and long road trips alike. 

What is VW IQ.DRIVE? 

VW IQ.DRIVE is Volkswagen’s intelligent driver-assistance system that integrates multiple technologies into a seamless safety net around your vehicle. With features like Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Stop & Go, Lane Assist, and Front Assist, IQ.DRIVE actively supports you on the road. These systems work together to help reduce driver fatigue, minimize accident risk, and create a more confident driving experience. 

Key Features for Real-World Driving 

  • Travel Assist: The centerpiece of IQ.DRIVE, Travel Assist combines Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Assist to provide semi-automated driving. It helps keep your VW centered in its lane while maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle ahead—even in stop-and-go traffic. 
  • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Stop & Go: Adjusts your speed automatically based on traffic conditions and can bring your vehicle to a complete stop before resuming when traffic moves. 
  • Lane Assist: Provides gentle steering support if your vehicle begins to drift without signaling. 
  • Front Assist (Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Monitoring): Helps detect potential collisions and can automatically apply the brakes if needed. 
  • Blind Spot Monitor & Active Side Assist: Alerts you to vehicles in your blind spots and helps you make safer lane changes. 
  • Rear Traffic Alert: Warns you of approaching vehicles when backing out of parking spaces. 
  • Emergency Assist: If the driver becomes unresponsive, the system can bring the vehicle to a safe, controlled stop. 
  • Dynamic Road Sign Display: Reads speed limits and other important road signs, displaying them clearly in your cockpit. 

Together, these features tackle everyday driving challenges—whether it’s highway cruising, rush-hour traffic, or tricky parking maneuvers. 

Seamless Safety Meets Comfort 

VW IQ.DRIVE isn’t just about safety—it’s about reducing stress and adding convenience. Long commutes become easier with systems like Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, while Travel Assist provides steady support on busy highways. The result? Less fatigue and more time to focus on enjoying the drive.
