New Audi Q7 earns 2025 IIHS Top Safety Pick+ Award

The 2025 Audi Q7 has been awarded the prestigious Top Safety Pick+ rating by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), reinforcing its position as a top-tier choice for families seeking safety, space, and versatility.

Audi Philippines introduced the latest Q7 in January as part of its 20th-anniversary celebrations. The full-size SUV excelled in IIHS’s more rigorous 2025 evaluations, securing top ratings in crashworthiness tests, including the updated moderate-overlap front collision test, which now assesses rear-passenger safety more comprehensively.

In addition to its outstanding crash-test performance, the Q7 received high marks for pedestrian front crash prevention in both daylight and nighttime conditions. The SUV’s advanced safety and driver-assistance features include adaptive cruise control with a speed limiter, lane departure assist, and park assist with parking system plus.

Audi’s renowned quattro all-wheel drive system ensures stability on various road surfaces, while premium cabin features such as the Audi virtual cockpit, Bang & Olufsen sound system, four-zone air-conditioning, and ambient LED lighting enhance comfort. The spacious three-row interior offers flexible cargo solutions, including electrically folding third-row seats and a gesture-activated tailgate.

Powering the Q7 is a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 TFSI engine, delivering 340 hp and 500 Nm of torque through an eight-speed tiptronic transmission.

With its combination of safety, technology, and luxury, the 2025 Audi Q7 stands out as the ideal family SUV.
