Comments
Audi's new A6 has an extremely rigid body, which hardly deforms. The doors are still open problems. The airbags will work together with the belt tensioners and force limiters for the occupants well protected. But the steering column, despite the special design that the knees of the driver should protect link for the legs. Also, the lid of the glove compartment a risk to the thighs of the passenger. In the low deformation footwell occurs, and the pedals stay in place. For the side crash the Audi gets the maximum score, thanks to the head airbags that also protect rear passengers. The pedestrian test takes dramatic, very disappointing for such a new model. The bumper and the front of the hood are downright dangerous to pedestrians. Since Audi is really serious into it.
