Audi Safety
When it comes to driving, safety is the most important feature. Yes drivers love stylish vehicles with cool electronic devices that make driving more fun, but if the proper safety features are not in place, the vehicle may be useless if you end up in a crash. Audi builds different makes and models of vehicles and for the most part safety crash tests have been successful. Of course crash test ratings show that some Audi cars are safer than others. We will take a look at some of the better built Audi vehicles that have received high marks in the safety category. This will hopefully aid you as a car shopper when it comes to selecting not only a beautiful new vehicle, but one that will give you the best chance of surviving an accident while driving.
The 2010 Audi S4 model has a sporty appearance and upgraded safety features. The S4 has electronic stability control, advanced air bag features, a front and side airbag, 4-Wheel ABS (anti-lock brake system) and good traction control. Safety tests performed on the Audi S4 have yielded positive results. Frontal impact tests done on the driver's side received a five out of five rating, and passenger side frontal tests also received a five out of five rating. Side impact tests also resulted in high marks for the Audi S4. Both the front and rear occupant received five star ratings in crash tests. This vehicle also got a five on rollover resistance, something every driver fears when their vehicle hits the streets.
The 2009 Audi Q5 is another Audi vehicle that has received quality ratings in the safety category. This vehicle is equipped with the same features that the Audi S4 has and has a tire pressure monitor and daytime running lights, as well. It also has an adjustable upper front belt and a rear seat head restraint. SAB crash rating performed on the vehicle has yielded high marks, making drivers feel even safer when they hit the road. Frontal impact tests on both the driver's and passenger side of the vehicle received a five out of five rating. Side impact tests carried out on front and rear occupancy also get a five out of five rating. Rollover resistance ratings are not available at this time on this vehicle, but will be soon. Based on previous test scores, customers can expect rollover resistance ratings to receive decent marks when the numbers finally come out.
The 2010 Audi Q5 is an SUV style body vehicle with similar safety features to the Audi S4 and 2009 Audi Q5. Americans love SUVs and Audi style SUVs have become a big hit among the American public. Crash test ratings for the 2010 Audi Q5 also receive high marks. Once again frontal impact crash tests done on both the driver and passenger side of the vehicle received a five out of five rating. Side impact tests on the front and rear occupants also get a five star rating. Rollover resistance ratings have yet to be performed on this vehicle, but those numbers should be available soon to the public.
