Five stars Audi

A1 in Euro NCAP crash tests

Euro NCAP has awarded the Audi A1 hatchback (pictured ) five stars after performing its crash tests. The results for adult protection in a frontal, rear, or side collision, as well as for child safety and pedestrian protection, place the new Audi A1 among the safest vehicles in its category.

Euro NCAP’s demanding test requirements far exceed the standards of European lawmakers. Established in 1997, the Euro NCAP consortium performs crash tests with all vehicles on the European market. Its mission is to systematically improve road safety and thus help protect the lives of all road users.
