Audi A3 Awarded Highest Possible Safety Rating by IIHS for 2015

The Audi A3 might have earned its reputation as a sleek and elegant option in the small luxury sedan segment, but not it's cementing that reputation through safety. For 2015, the Audi A3 faced the gauntlet of the IIHS's now more stringent safety tests - and it came through with flying colors. The A3 earned a Top Safety Pick Plus rating, the highest possible rating given out by the IIHS.

"The TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating for the A3 sedan demonstrates the full Audi commitment to safety," said Mark Del Rosso, Chief Operating Officer, Audi of America. "With a host of standard luxury features, industry-first technology and uncompromised design, the Audi A3 raises the bar as to what is expected out of entry-level luxury vehicles."

Under the IIHS's new safety rating system, a vehicle can't earn the "+" part of the rating unless it includes a front crash prevention system that passes the institute's inspection. The A3 accomplishes this via Audi pre-sense, a system that can even automatically close windows and tighten seatbelts in case of emergency. Whether you've been a lifetime Audi enthusiast or you're looking for your first gateway drug to that love, the 2015 Audi A3 is a safe and sexy choice for you.
