As is the case with most high-end automobiles, the Audi A8L throws a significant amount of technology at the problem of protecting its driver and passengers.
Among the big sedan’s long list of standard safety features are 10 airbags, including dual-stage front airbags and knee-protection airbags for the driver and front seat passenger. All occupants in outboard seating positions are also safeguarded by torso-protecting side-impact airbags and side-curtain airbags meant to significantly reduce the likelihood of head injuries. Other safety features include whiplash-reducing “active” head restraints, designed to protect the head and neck of front seat occupants in rear-end collisions. Three-point lap/shoulder belts at all five seating positions and a surprisingly complete first aid kit round out the big sedan’s list of safety equipment.
