Audi Q7 and A8 - Australia’s most secure vehicles
The Audi
Q7 SUV and
A8 luxury limousine were today announced as Australia's most secure vehicles in their respective classes at the National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council (NMVTRC) 'Secure by Design' awards in Sydney.
The Audi
Q7 took out the award in the 'large SUV' category and the
A8 won the 'luxury' category award. Each of the winning vehicles were expertly assessed against their market competitors in relation to the following criteria:
• entry systems (such as door, ignition and fuel filler locks, rear seat/boot access and glazing);
• theft resistance systems (such as alarms, engine immobilisers, sound systems, wheel and component substitution protection); and
• vehicle identification (body stamping, security labelling and microdotting).
NSW Minister for Police, the Hon. David Campbell MP, presented the awards to Audi.
