The impregnability of models across the Audi range has been judged worthy of the top award in the British Insurance Vehicle Security Awards for the fourth consecutive year.

At the annual BIVSA Awards, held recently at the Motor Insurance Repair Research Centre in Thatcham, Berkshire, Audi received the overall Manufacturer of the Year Award for offering the most model ranges that fully satisfy the awards selection criteria

In addition to this all-encompassing award, Audi models were also voted best-in-class in three of the specific model categories assessed by the experts. The new A5 Cabriolet and A4 Saloon and Avant ranges and the flagship S8 Saloon all achieved higher points scores in the New Vehicle Security Ratings than their competitors.

Award-winning security protection is achieved right across the Audi range through features including Thatcham Category 1 alarm and immobiliser technology with interior ultrasonic protection, Thatcham Category 4 locking wheel bolts, anti-tow tilt sensors, visible Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN) and extensive marked parts.
