New Audi TT gets a 4 star safety rating from Euro NCAP

The third generation Audi TT went on sale in 2014, surprisingly without a safety rating for the European market. Following last year’s controversy in the UK, Euro NCAP has taken the initiative to put the car to the test themselves.

The new TT is the first car tested by Euro NCAP under the new 2015 rating rules that use updated test protocols and crash test dummies. A new full-width rigid barrier frontal test has been added to complement the frontal offset deformable test.

The TT missed out on the perfect 5 star safety rating due to the lack of latest advanced technologies such as autonomous emergency braking. This important technology is becoming more common and is already available on many other models in the Audi range.
