If you’re searching for a luxurious new Audi sedan, mid-size SUV, or large SUV that can provide you and your passengers with added peace of mind, our Audi Ontario dealer near Los Angeles is proud to offer a number of 2022 models that have been recognized for 2022 IIHS 'TOP SAFETY PICK+' or 'TOP SAFETY PICK' distinctions.
Which 2022 Audi Models are IIHS Top Safety Picks?
For the 2022 model year, the Audi A6, A6 allroad®, A7, Q5, Q5 Sportback, e-tron®, and e-tron® Sportback have been named Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) 2022 “TOP SAFETY PICKS+” in the large luxury cars, midsize luxury SUVs, and large SUVs categories. On top of that, the 2022 Audi A4, A5 Sportback, and Q8 earned 2022 IIHS “TOP SAFETY PICK” awards in the midsize luxury cars and large SUVs categories when equipped with “good” or “acceptable” headlights.
Additionally, each of the 2022 award-winners earned “good” ratings in six IIHS crashworthiness tests, including the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, original side, roof strength, and head restraint tests. Each of these models can also be upgraded with an available front crash prevention system that earned advanced or superior ratings in both the vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations.
The 2022 Audi designees offer a full suite of standard and available driver assistance features that are designed to help Los Angeles area drivers confidently navigate the road and traffic. Driver assistance features include:
- Audi Pre Sense® Rear - In the case of an impending collision, Audi Pre Sense® Rear uses radar sensors in the rear bumper to help detect an impending rear-end collision and can initiate preventive measures. Among other things, this system helps by pre-tensioning the front safety belts and automatically adjusting the occupants' seats to a more optimal position.
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go - This feature helps you accelerate and brake, as well as maintain speed and distance to the vehicle in front.
- Adaptive Cruise Assist - Uses radar, camera, and ultrasonic sensors to continuously monitor the environment and help assist with highway driving.
- Active Lane Assist - Can provide steering guidance to help a driver keep the vehicle in the lane. Detecting lane markings and roadside structures allows the system to make a virtual driving path to help guide the vehicle.
- Available Audi Side Assist - Using two rear-mounted radar sensors that constantly scan and track vehicles approaching from the rear, the system can detect when a vehicle has moved into the blind spot and issue a warning light on the exterior mirror housing.
- Available Parking System Plus - When the system detects an object in the path of your vehicle, a visual warning will appear in the MMI® touch response display, with an audible warning via a series of beeps alerting you as objects get closer.
- Audi Night Vision Assistant - Uses a long-range infrared camera and can react to the thermal energy given off by objects. Converted to black and white images, the information can be viewed in the instrument cluster or Audi virtual cockpit.
- Pedestrian and Vehicle Detection - Can help detect potential threats and aid drivers by initiating preventative measures, such as providing visual and acoustic warnings to help alert the driver to potentially hazardous situations. If necessary, the car starts to apply brakes and is able to bring the vehicle to a full stop.
