Dramatization

ESC and ABS
Computerized technology that works in perfect sync with the
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
helps minimize any loss of stability, applying brake pressure to
individual wheels and reducing throttle input to help counter
oversteer or understeer when the vehicle needs it.

Referring to all dedicated measures that help protect
the car’s occupants against injury, the passive safety
measures in the A7 include its safety belt system, ten
available airbags,
1
the rigid occupant cell and crumple
zones at the front and rear of the vehicle.
Ten airbags
A full complement of ten airbags
1
is available in the A7 to oer
additional protection in the event of a collision. Front-impact
airbags for both driver and front passenger are designed to
specifically target and protect the head during collisions, for
added protection.

We don’t see safety as an option, or a luxury.
Audi engineers don’t equate strength with size. Big is just big—strong is a more flexible concept. While you may not think
about weight savings when it comes to strength, we’d like you to take a second and think again. The aluminum hybrid con-
struction developed by Audi engineers is a lightweight and unyielding revolutionary technology that oers an innovative
approach to both weight savings and strength. Airbag technology
1
is designed to respond dierently based on seat position,
and specially constructed crumple zones give way upon impact to help mitigate potential injury in a collision. All of this,
combined with the rigidity of laser seam-welded joints that enhance the strength of every Audi we make, helps diminish
the impact of an unavoidable event.
Safety
Working to spread a “bend,
don’t break” philosophy.
1 Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy in all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appro-
priate for their size and age. 2 This is a dramatization and does not depict what will happen in a collision. All bags will not inflate simultaneously in real-world collisions, and, if
multiple bags do deploy, they will be in various stages of inflating/deflating and will never all be inflated at the same time.

Tailor-made blanks Tailor-made blanks
Developed to make the best possible use of the
body’s potential, tailor-made blanks are the result
of a special manufacturing process that can help
strengthen the upper zone of the B-pillars, while
the lower zone is designed to help mitigate the
impact in the event of a side collision.
