Does Volkswagen cars come with first aid kits?
2 Answers
Volkswagen cars generally do not come with first aid kits. Here are the methods to determine whether a Volkswagen has a first aid kit: 1. High-end Volkswagen models: Luxury configurations may include first aid kits. Original factory first aid kits are very expensive, so they are only included in premium configurations. Note that items in first aid kits have expiration dates. If expired, they cannot be used and need regular replacement. 2. Mid-range and entry-level Volkswagen models: Typically not included. If not equipped, you can purchase one separately. Since first aid kits are expensive, mid-range and entry-level models don't come with them - you'll need to buy your own and also remember to replace expired items regularly.
I remember when I first bought my Volkswagen, I assumed the first aid kit was standard equipment, only to open the trunk and find it empty. Later, after checking the manual, I learned that most Volkswagen models don’t come with a first aid kit from the factory, especially older or base-trim versions. This mainly depends on your region and specific model: in EU countries, regulations require new cars to include a basic first aid kit due to strict safety standards; but in China or the U.S., it might need to be purchased separately or offered as an optional add-on. I ended up buying my own kit to keep in the car—it includes bandages, scissors, and other essentials that could really save lives in emergencies, like during road trips or accidental injuries. I recommend asking your dealer for details before buying a car, so you don’t overlook it like I did. During routine maintenance, take a moment to check if there’s dedicated space in the car’s tool area, preparing for emergencies—safety should always come first.
