The Audi A1 is the first light car to achieve an ANCAP 5-star rating against the independent vehicle safety authority\u2019s most stringent test criteria.<\/p>\n
The vehicle scored strongly for its performance in Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) with a score of 95 percent. It also scored well for its protection of younger occupants achieving a Child Occupant Protection score of 88 percent with close to full points recorded by the six- and ten-year child dummies in the frontal offset and side impact crash tests.<\/p>\n
ANCAP said the A1 performed particularly well for a vehicle in its class in the area of Safety Assist, achieving 82 percent. The vehicle has a range of collision avoidance features as standard, including autonomous emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane keep assist (LKA) and emergency lane keeping (ELK).<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an impressive score for a vehicle in the Light Car category,\u201d said ANCAP Chief Executive, James Goodwin. \u201cIt is encouraging to see vehicle brands prioritise collision avoidance capabilities across their model line-ups, including the smaller city cars which mix regularly with pedestrians and cyclists in addition to other vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 5-star rating applies to all Australian and New Zealand Audi A1 variants on sale from November 2019 and May 2019 respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
