2017 Audi Q7 Vs 2016 Audi Q3 – CRASH TEST

2017 Audi Q7

ADULT OCCUPANT
The passenger compartment of the Q7 remained stable in the frontal impact. Dummy readings showed good protection of the knees and femurs of 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. Measurements of chest compression in the driver dummy indicated a marginal level of protection for this part of the body. In the full width rigid barrier test, all critical body areas except the chest were well protected. Chest protection for the rear passenger dummy was adequate and that of the driver dummy was again marginal. In both the side barrier impact and the more severe side pole test, protection of all critical body regions was good and maximum points were scored. The front seats and head restraints provided good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision, and a geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated good whiplash protection here too. An autonomous emergency braking system is fitted as standard on the Q7 and operates from the low speeds, typical of city driving, at which many whiplash injuries are caused

Audi Q3

The redesigned-for-2016 Audi Q3 has earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s Top Safety Pick rating. The luxury compact SUV received the highest-possible score of good in all areas of the institute’s crashworthiness testing.IIHS rates vehicles good, acceptable, marginal or poor based on their performance in five tests, including moderate front overlap, small overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints. The new Q3 did not qualify for the institute’s highest honor, Top Safety Pick Plus, which requires that a vehicle earn an advanced or superior score for front crash prevention systems. The Q3 does not offer a front crash prevention system.

What is available, however, is a full complement of other safety features. These include front and rear side curtain airbags and front-seat-mounted torso airbags, a rollover sensor designed to deploy the side curtain airbags in the event of a rollover, electronic stability control, antilock brakes and programmable daytime running lights. Of the Q3’s performance in the stringent small overlap front test, which approximates what happens when the front corner of a vehicle crashes into, for example, a utility pole, IIHS said: “The dummy’s position in relation to the door frame, steering wheel, and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver’s survival space was maintained well.”

2016 Audi Q3 Safety Features

Anti-lock brakes
ABS brakes automatically sense when a tire has stopped rotating under extreme braking, and will modulate the brake pressure to allow the tire to rotate. This increases the vehicles ability to turn while braking.

Stability control
Stability control automatically senses when the vehicles handling limits have been exceeded and reduces engine power and/or applies select brakes to help prevent the driver from losing control of the vehicle.

Front-impact airbags
Front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger have been designed to protect the head during a frontal crash.

Side impact airbags
Side impact airbags for the front seats have been designed to protect the torso during a side impact collision.

Overhead airbags
Overhead airbags are used to protect the occupant’s heads in the event of a side collision or rollover.

Pretensioners
Seatbelt pretensioners automatically tighten seatbelts to place the occupant in the optimal seating position during a collision.

Security system
The vehicle is equipped with a means of anticipating and/or detecting unwanted vehicle intrusion. The vehicle is equipped with an ignition disable device that will prevent the engine from starting if the correct original manufacturer key is not used.
