Audi RS6 Avant Review

Safety and Security4 out of 5

The Audi RS6 comes with all the usual active and passive safety kit, including permanent four-wheel drive, ESP, ASR traction control, electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) with Brake Assist, six airbags (two front, two side and two curtain) and Isofix mountings for child seats.

As a variant of the A6, the RS6 doesn't have a separate Euro NCAP rating - which means it's comparable to the full five stars for occupant safety, four for child protection (with Audi's approved child seats), but just one star for pedestrian protection.

A Thatcham Category 1 alarm and immobiliser is also fitted.
