The European New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) consortium has awarded the new Audi Q7 a top grade of five stars for safety. The results for adult protection in frontal and side impact collisions, pedestrian protection and child safety put the current Audi Q7 among the safest cars in its category.
Results for the rear passengers in a frontal impact collision show that not just the driver and front passenger in the Audi Q7 are very well protected, but the rear passengers are too.
The model received the Euro NCAP Advanced reward for the multi-collision brake assist system and for Audi pre-sense basic, which in dangerous situations tensions the seatbelt before a collision and closes the windows and sunroof. The multi-collision brake assist system initiates braking automatically in case of an accident to reduce the risk of skidding and the danger of further collisions. Both systems are standard in the Q7.
Another safety feature is the predictive warning and emergency braking system for accident avoidance and the protection of pedestrians. At speeds of up to 85kmph, the system observes the road with respect to other road users. On threat of a collision, it warns the driver according to a graduated concept: warning, warning jolt and automatic emergency braking.
Other new assistance systems in the Q7 include collision-avoidance assist, turn assist and exit warning. Whereas the collision avoidance assist helps the driver to drive around an obstacle to avoid an accident, the turn assist monitors oncoming traffic when turning left at low speed.
In a dangerous situation, it brakes the Q7 to a complete stop, if necessary, to prevent a turn if there is oncoming traffic. With the exit warning, LEDs light up red to warn occupants when the doors are opened if other vehicles or bicycles are approaching from the rear.
