The well-known Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in the USA has now also awarded the sporty, compact Audi A3 its highest rating of “Top Safety Pick”. This makes Audi the only German manufacturer to have three award-winning models in its ranks: the Audi A4 and A6 have already been honoured with this top safety rating in the past.
The IIHS also evaluates the risk of neck injuries in a rear impact. Thanks to the optimised design of the Seat structure, Seat components and above all the geometry and position of the head restraints, Audi models score top marks in this discipline. Having an electronic stabilisation program (ESP) as standard also has a positive effect on the rating – and this is indeed the case for all Audi vehicles.
