It’s no secret that the Audi lineup is known for being safe and reliable (among other attributes), but here at Audi Warrington, we’re honestly bowled over by the recent 2017 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) ratings. It’s quite an honor to be called a 2017 Top Safety Pick from the IIHS, but for five models from the lineup to garner such a rating is not just an honor, it’s a testament to the superior engineering and quality of the Audi brand.

Among the five models to receive a 2017 Top Safety Pick rating from the IIHS, two models—the 2017 Audi A4 and the 2017 Audi Q5 (when equipped with front crash prevention, standard on the A4, as well as optional headlights)—received the highest rating available: the Top Safety Pick+ designation! The other three models, the Audi A3, 2017 Audi Q7, and 2017 Audi A6 (when equipped with available driver assistance package) garnered the covetable Top Safety Pick designation.
"This year’s Top Safety Picks for A3, A4, A6, Q5 and Q7 models speaks to our brand’s commitment to make driver assistance and other innovative technologies available to all customers, from luxury SUVs to entry-level sedans,” said Scott Keogh, President Audi of America. “We understand that safety and technical innovations are top considerations in a new vehicle purchase and we are proud to have so many of our models recognized with these prestigious awards.” —from a 12.08.16 Audi USA Press Release
