The 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 we’d like to think there are a few more than that. It may be the smallest car in our range, but the Fox has everything anyone could want in a car.

Being small doesn’t mean you can’t make a big impression. And with its dynamic body lines, capturing the gaze of curious onlookers is inevitable. Even the contoured clear cover of the headlights and indicators demand attention. While a wide range of exterior body colours gives you the chance to enhance its compact, sporty looks even more. And of course, there’s always the option to style your Fox exactly the way you want it by adding alloy wheels, a rear roof spoiler, or one of the many options or accessory packs available.

The Fox may be a car for everyone, but there are still two models to choose
from – the Fox and Urban Fox. Simply choose the one that suits you best.
If you’re looking for a practical and affordable small car to drive, then you can’t
go wrong with the Fox. It may have a low starting price, but you still get an
impressive level of specification, including front and rear cup holders, dust and
pollen filter and a height-adjustable driver’s seat. There’s also green tinted glass,
range adjustable halogen clear headlights, one-touch indicators, speed-sensitive
power-assisted steering and a radio/CD player with four speakers. Not to mention vanity mirrors and an electronic engine immobiliser all fitted as standard.

If you’re in need of a few more luxuries, the Urban Fox comes with all we’ve mentioned plus remote central locking, sliding rear bench seat with 50:50 split folding backrest, front electric windows, body-coloured bumpers and door mirrors, easy entry front seats and manual rear vent windows.

It may be small, but the Fox is very big on safety – like every Volkswagen.
The 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 Fox achieving four
stars in the Euro NCAP ratings.

Small passengers are also well protected with innovative Isofix child seat
preparation in the rear, allowing approved child seats to be secured directly to the Fox’s chassis for maximum safety. Installing and removing them is so
simple it is, quite literally, child’s play.

It goes without saying that the Fox is also fitted with both driver’s and front
passenger’s airbags as standard, as are three-point seat belts with height
adjustment in the front and front and rear head restraints. If you do 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.
