Audi Earns Top Safety Pick For 2012 Audi A6

Audi has successfully earned another "Top Safety Pick" ranking from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety IIHS for the new 2012 Audi A6

. The Audi A6 is not new to this elite group, having earned the highest ranking given by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in 2009 as well.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety list is not an easy one to join, given the rigorous testing and ratings required to be included. Vehicles that are designated as a "Top Safety Pick" must earn "good" rankings in all four categories of vehicle safety testing including:

-Frontal Impact Testing

-Side Impact Testing

-Rear Impact Testing

-Roof Strength Ratings

The Audi A6 offers many innovative features that are focused primarily on improving the safety for the driver and passengers. Over 21 unique safety features are available for the new model, depending on the features package purchased.

Exterior and mechanical safety features include a hybrid aluminum body that consists of a steel frame and aluminum side panels for optimal strength and impact protection. Side intrusion protection and the Audi back guard system also help protect passengers in the event of a collision.

The 2012 Audi A6 also features Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and front and rear ventilated disc brakes to give the driver more control and confidence while stopping in all weather conditions.

Electronic stability control (ESC) is standard on all models, and automatic traction control (ARS) and an updated sport suspension also help the car drive more comfortably and controlled so you can take the winding scenic seaside California roads and focus on the incredible view, not the winding turns and bumps in the road. The 2012 Audi A6 also offers vision assist to provide drivers with enhanced night vision so they can see pedestrians, bikers, or animals that may be sharing the road on dark California nights.

Audi enthusiasts can see the new 2012 Audi A6 for themselves at Commonwealth Audi in Orange County. As a leader in vehicle safety, the Audi A6 offers California drivers the confidence and control they deserve to make Orange County's roads a safer and more enjoyable place for everyone!

Orange County drivers can stop by anytime to experience a test drive of the new Audi A6 for themselves. The staff are fully versed in Audi technology, models, and inventory options, and are happy to help you learn more about your favorite Audi options.
