quattro
The effective combination of quattro® permanent
four-wheel drive, an advanced version of ESP,
and innovative driver assistance systems help to
avoid critical situations from the start, rather
than let them develop.

Passive safety systems
The sideguard® head airbag system extends over
the entire side-window area down to the door
cappings and for all three rows of seats, and
remains inflated after triggering, in order to
maintain occupant protection in the event of a
secondary collision.
