VIDEO: Audi Q7 nets five-star Euro NCAP safety rating, claims ‘Euro NCAP Advanced’ award

Audi’s latest seven-seat SUV has been awarded with a full five-star Euro NCAP crash safety rating. The results for the frontal and side impacts, plus pedestrian and child safety (which you can see in the full report below) make the new Audi Q7 one of the safest cars in the SUV category. The safest it’s not, though, as that title belongs to the new Volvo XC90.

In addition to that, the Q7 was also awarded the “Euro NCAP Advanced” award – a complementary system that merits automakers for their advanced safety tech. In this case, the reward was handed to the Q7’s multi collision brake assist system and the Audi pre sense basic – both standard in every Q7.

To elaborate in more detail, the multi collision brake assist systems is an autonomous braking tech that activates independently to counter skidding and reduce the risk of other collisions, while pre sense basic locks the seatbelt, closes the windows and sunroof before a collision happens.

Also standard in the Q7 is the Audi pre sense city. This bundles predictive warning feature as well as an emergency braking system. At speeds of up to 85 km/h, the system can alert the driver of an impending collision in stages – first a warning, followed by a jolt and finally automatic braking if the need arises.
