Audi 5000 / 100 / 200 | 1985 | Frontal Crash Test by NHTSA | CrashNet1
C3 Audi 5000 S / 100 / 200 Impact speed for the vehicle was 32mph(56.33kph). The vehicle tested is complied with: -FMVSS 212: Windshield Retention -FMVSS ...
The 1989 Audi 100 model had a driver HIC of 185 and passenger HIC of 710.
The 1989 tested did have an airbag though.
The 1986-1991 Audi 80, the smaller line, had a driver HIC of 600 and
passenger HIC of 535 when it was tested for the 1989 model year as well.
So the '89 Audis were quite a bit safer than the '85s, it looks like.

This is one of those cars where it did very poorly (for the driver) but the
structure was sound. A lot of times, a 2,000+ HIC means structural failure;
this was just a problem of the seat belt and steering column. Adding a
driver airbag would have made that 2,105 HIC go way down, maybe even below
500.

See? A manufacturer that actually knows how to make a car. No need for side
curtain deployment during a frontal impact. I hate it when I see that, what
if you spun into the road way and were t-boned after your initial accident.
Wouldn't those side air bags be important? Now, hit a wall going 50 MPH, it
might help to have a bouncy castle inflate around you.
thx for the explanation. I just missed the topic and assumed that the test
was done by euroncap (again forgetting that the euroncap always uses offset
tests) :)
something's wrong with the info I guess. as far as I know 5th star is due
to pedestrian safety. s4 may be a 5 star safe car. but not bcs of this
crash test
NHTSA uses star ratings differently compared to EuroNCAP. There is no
pedestrian rating for North American vehicles.
