We don’t see safety as an option,

or a luxury.

We decided that, regardless of size, strong should be a more ﬂexible concept. High-strength steel helps

add a measure of security while enhancing overall handling and performance. The six standard airbags

feature technology that is designed to deploy airbags based on seat position, while specially constructed

crumple zones give way upon impact to help mitigate potential injury in a collision. All of this, combined

with the rigidity of laser seam-welded joints that enhance the strength of every Audi we make, helps dimin-

ish the impact of an unavoidable event.

1 Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy under all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems

appropriate for their size and age. 2 This is a dramatization and does not depict what will happen in a collision. All bags will not inﬂate simultaneously in real-world collisions,

and, if multiple bags do deploy, they will be in various stages of inﬂating/deﬂating and will never all be inﬂated at the same time.

Brakes

Whether you’re on the open road or o the beaten path, ESC

with ABS helps to keep the vehicle traveling in its intended

direction by moderating brake pressure at all four wheels to

help maintain traction, minimize skids and optimize control.

Six standard airbags

With six standard airbags, including front-impact and thorax

side airbags for both driver and front passenger, and available

rear passenger thorax side airbags, you’ll feel practically sur-

rounded.

And that’s a good thing.

Safety

Working to spread a “bend,

don’t break” philosophy.

Dramatization

Crumple zones

Knautschzone may be an ugly word, but it’s a beautiful

technology. German for “crumple zone,” this ingenious

safety feature helps dissipate the energy from a col-

lision by spreading the impact forces around the pas-

senger cell and away from its occupants. In doing so, it

also slows the vehicle’s deceleration rate, which helps

to further lessen the force of impact.

rail side-member and B-pillar helps

protect the driver and passengers

in the event of a collision.
