The Euro NCAP consortium has awarded the new Audi Q7 with a top rating of five stars for safety. The results of the tests for adult protection in frontal and side impact collisions, pedestrian protection, and child safety put the current Audi Q7 among the safest cars in its category.

The model also received the Euro NCAP Advanced reward for the multi-collision brake assist system, which initiates automatic braking in case of an accident to reduce the risk of skidding and the danger of further collisions, and for Audi's pre sense basic, which in danger situations tensions the seatbelt before a collision and closes the windows and sunroof. Both systems are standard in the Q7.

A central element in the Audi Q7 is the standard Audi pre sense city, a predictive warning and emergency braking system for accident avoidance and the protection of pedestrians. Other new assistance systems in the new Q7 include collision avoidance assist, turn assist and exit warning.

While the Q7 is already being tested in India, the hotter SQ7, which is likely to come with a new 4.0-litre TDI engine, has also been spied multiple times in Mumbai.
