Audi Safety Awards - Memphis, TN

 

With a long history of pushing the technological envelope, Audi is no stranger to being at the forefront of new and excited advanced tech. This year, however, Audi has taken things further by making some serious safety improvements that have garnered new awards for the automaker. Specifically, the 2019 Audi Q3 and the 2019 Audi A7 have won high awards from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), receiving high scores in a number of rigorous crash-tests.

IIHS Safety Scores

The IIHS performs comprehensive crash-tests on vehicles and applies a very strict rating system to inform consumers about the overall safety of specific vehicles. For the 2019 model year, the 2019 Audi Q3 and the 2019 Audi A7 came out on top. The 2019 A7 received a rare rating of Top Safety Pick while the 2019 Q3 won the truly exceptional award of Top Safety Pick Plus. 

2019 Audi Q3

That the 2019 Audi Q3 garnered such a high rating should come as no surprise, as this compact crossover is packed with impressively advanced technologies that enhance all aspects of the driving experience. Standard and available Driver Assistance features include Audi pre sense basic, Audi pre sense front with pedestrian detection, Audi side assist, lane departure warning, and rear cross traffic assist. Together, these features work to keep you one stead ahead of potential hazards and safely on your way with confidence.

2019 Audi A7

The 2019 Audi A7 executive sedan scored just slightly lower overall than the 2019 Q3. The distinction of Top Safety Pick is still an impressive feat, however, especially this year as the IIHS has tightened rating criteria, making it harder than ever to achieve this distinction. Like the Q3, the 2019 A7 benefits from an array of advanced tech including Audi pre sense 360, top view camera capability, and Audi adaptive cruise assist.
