The passenger compartment of the Q7 remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the kneesand femurs of both the driver and passenger. Audi showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of differentsizes and to those sitting in different positions. Protection of the chest was marginal for both driver and passenger. In the full-width rigidbarrier test, chest protection was again marginal for the rear passenger but other critical body areas were well or adequately protected, forboth occupants. In both the side barrier test and the pole impact, protection of all critical body areas was good and the Q7 scoredmaximum points in these tests. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in theevent of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the front seats also indicated good whiplash protection. The standard-fitautonomous emergency braking (AEB) system performed well in tests of its functionality against other vehicles at the low speeds, typical ofcity driving, at which many whiplash injuries occur, with collisions avoided in almost all test scenarios.
