2014 Audi A6 and S6 earn 5-star crash test ratings from NHTSA

The coveted 5-star rating was achieved by both the A6 and S6 based on their outstanding performance in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). The 5-star rating was awarded for
frontal, side and rollover tests resulting in the 5-star overall rating. The A6 and S6 are the only German mid-sized luxury sedans to be awarded 5 stars in all categories. The NHTSA 5-star Safety Ratings System was designed to provide consumers with information about crash worthiness, crash avoidance and other areas that help improve the safety of new vehicles beyond what is required by statute.

"When Audi engineers set out to make the A6 and S6 models unsurpassed in their class they made safety one of their first priorities," said Scott Keogh, President, Audi of America. "The 5-star rating affirms that commitment to our customers and vehicle safety."

The A6 and S6 are two of Audi's most innovative and technologically advanced models on the road, offering advanced safety systems and other technologies.
