Audi engineers utilize the latest in safety technologies to ensure the 2008 A6 models are as safe as they are luxurious and powerful.

IIHS "Top Safety Pick"
The 2007 Audi A6 achieved the highest-level crash ratings from the Insurance Institure for Highway Safety (IIHS). Audi is the only European, and only premium, auto manufacturer to have two models on the list. The Audi A6 was the only car listed in the large car category.
Side Airbags
Sideguard™ side airbags extend over the entire side window area to help protect front and outer rear passengers in a side collision or rollover. These are combined with dual front driver and passenger airbags.
Audi lane assist
Innovation merges with safety in this unique system that detects when the driver is outside of traffic lanes and sends a warning via a vibrating steering wheel.
