The American crash test program US NCAP has awarded the current Audi A6 the maximum rating of five stars for crash safety. The results for adult protection in frontal and side impact collisions, as well as in a rollover situation, make the current Audi A6 one of the safest cars in its category.
Adding to its top score in the Euro NCAP in 2011, the U.S. National Highway Transport Safety Administration (NHTSA) has now given the current Audi A6 the maximum rating of five stars for passive crash safety.
The results for adult protection in frontal and side impact collisions, as well as in a rollover situation, put the current Audi A6 among the safest cars in its category. In 2010 the agency made the requirements for the front and side impact collision tests even tougher in order to reflect actual accident scenarios even more accurately.
The scores that the testers awarded the Audi A6 for driver and front passenger protection in frontal and side impact collisions easily earned the car the top rating of five stars. Rear occupants of the Audi A6 are also well protected, as the 5-star result for rear passengers in side impact collisions shows.
