A model with sharp looks and engaging performance is a common want for folks around Miami, Miami Beach, and Hollywood. In addition to those traits, it's also important that your model withstand the wear of many miles. The Audi A3 sedan's reliability and overall safety package make it a charming option for drivers who want to mesh performance and style with lasting results.
To provide nearby folks with a better understanding of how reliable the Audi A3 is, our Audi North Miami staff thought a review of the vehicle's reliability and overall safety metrics would be handy! Be sure to contact us with any questions.
Audi A3 IIHS Rating
We'll be looking at two key figures for overall safety before touching on the reliability of the Audi A3. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) conducts rigorous testing to ensure every vehicle on the road is safe.
The grading metric they use ranges from Poor-the lowest rating-Marginal, Acceptable, to Good-the best rating. The Audi A3 received a string of Good ratings, resulting in the model being named a 2019 TOP SAFETY PICK.
Here are just a few of the safety aspects where the Audi A3 received a perfect score:
- Moderate overlap front
- Side
- Roof strength
- Small overlap front for driver side and passenger side
- Head restraints and seats
Audi A3 NHTSA Rating
The second safety metric we'll use to look at the Audi A3 is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Once again, we see that this luxury sedan knows a few things about keeping passengers well protected.
The NHTSA uses a star scale to judge a model's safety rating: One star is the lowest score and five stars is the highest. Overall, the 2019 Audi A3 received a perfect 5-Star Overall Safety Rating.
To help it achieve that score, the sedan graded perfectly for the front-passenger side as well as the overall side star rating that combines the side barrier and side pole star ratings.
Another favorable score was its four out of five stars for the overall front star rating that uses two colliding vehicles moving at 35 MPH to determine a model's capability during accidents.
Audi A3 Reliability Can be Seen on the Road
Perhaps the best way to gauge a model's lasting reliability is to look at how previous model years are currently faring. A plethora of Audi A3 sedans can be seen around the local landscape with many of these models surpassing 100,000 miles.
Audi has developed a strong reputation overall for reliability, something that extends to each model in their lineup. With regular service checkups and care at our shop, your Audi A3 will provide enjoyment on the road for years to come!
