7. Audi Q5

The Audi Q5 scored “good” in all areas, and “advanced” in the front crash prevention test, according to the IIHS. The optional Audi pre sense front system reduced impact speed by 11 mph in the 12 mph test, but failed to reduce impact speed in the 25 mph test. The roof was able to handle 4.41 times the vehicle’s weight before crushing 5 inches, earning the Audi Q5 a “good” rating. In the small overlap front test, the Audi Q5 earned “good” in all but the structure and safety cage field, where it earned an “acceptable” rating. This was due to the upper interior intrusion measuring 8-9 cm at the instrument panel, and the steering column being pushed back 6 cm toward the driver dummy.
