Audi has always made safety a priority when designing their vehicles. They have won countless awards for vehicle safety and technology, and they recently hit another new milestone. After awarding 10 Audi models TOP SAFETY PICK+ or TOP SAFETY PICK distinctions in early 2022, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) added five more Audi models to this list in November. That brings the total to 15 Audi models receiving top positions in the safety aspect, more than any other automaker. As an authorized dealer of these incredibly safe and technologically advanced vehicles, Audi Englewood celebrates the continued progress that Audi has made, and we can’t wait to share it with you.

TOP SAFETY PICK+ Award Criteria
The IIHS uses various criteria to award a vehicle model the TOP SAFETY PICK+ distinction. Besides a superior or advanced front crash-prevention system and good or acceptable headlight as a standard equipment, a car model must receive high ratings in the following tests:
- Head Restraint
- Roof Strength
- Moderate Overlap Front
- Original Side
- Driver-Side Small Overlap Front
- Passenger-Side Small Overlap Front
Audi’s Dedication to Safety
The President of Audi of America, Daniel Weissland, remarked that the company puts the safety of its client as the top priority. With the German automaker dominating the IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ awards in 2022, it is hard to argue against Weissland's claim. The brand engineers are continuously designing, developing, and testing car models to define safety standards in automotive. The company's front crash prevention system equipped with daytime vehicle-to-pedestrian and vehicle-to-vehicle collision prevention technology has propelled Audi to the top of the IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ AWARD list.
