Audi Q5

The passenger compartment of the Q5 remained stable in the frontal impact.  Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger.  Audi demonstrated that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions.  All critical body regions of the passenger dummy were well protected.  In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of all body regions was good, with the exception of the chest of both dummies and the neck of the rear passenger dummy, protection of which was adequate.  Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injury in the event of a rear-end collision.  A geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection.  The Q5 has, as standard equipment in Europe, Audi PreSense City, an autonomous emergency braking system.  In tests at low speeds, typical of city driving, where many whiplash injuries are caused, the system performed well, avoiding collision with the target at all but the highest test speed.
