The Audi Q7 is one of the safest cars on the road, with a high strength bodyshell, innovative Sideguard® airbag system and extended crumple zones. It’s designed to keep you and your family as secure as possible on the motorway, the school run, a mountain track or off road. The level of performance is as impressive as the level of protection, with Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) and quattro®. Preventing accidents is still the best form of protection. | |
Veteran war correspondent Rageh Omaar puts the Audi Q7 – and his nerve – to the test on one of the most rigorous obstacle courses ever built. See how it copes with the ultimate challenge. | |
| quattro The function of quattro is to distribute drive power between the front and rear axles depending on weather conditions, road surface and gradient. This increases flexibility for enhanced handling and a sportier drive. | |
|
High-strength bodyshell The rigid safety zones of the high-strength bodyshell ensure that energy is absorbed in a controlled manner away from the occupants’ protective zone. | |
| ESP ESP 8.0 monitors wheel speeds, slip angles and the positioning of the steering wheel to keep you in complete control. It can apply braking to individual wheels while altering the engine management settings, for safe braking in any conditions. | |
|
Airbag system The Sideguard airbag system extends over the entire side-window area down to the door cappings, for all three rows of seats. It remains inflated after being triggered to maintain occupant protection in the event of a secondary collision. | |
| Compact Engines Compact, low-height engines provide the necessary safety space between the engine cover and the aluminium bonnet, as called for in the Euro-NCAP test for pedestrian protection. | |
