INGOLSTADT, GERMANY – April 3, 2009: The premium quality that goes into Audi cars also pays off for their owners when it comes to insurance costs. That’s the conclusion drawn from the latest data from the German Insurance Association (GDV). The GDV has again given the entire Audi model range especially favorable ratings in the full-coverage category.

Especially good ratings went to the Audi models A3, Audi TT, A6 and A8, which received the most economical insurance classifications in the premium segment. The vast majority of engine versions of the other Audi models also achieved especially economical ratings. Audi customers save significantly compared to owners of competing cars, because Audi cars are usually rated one to two categories cheaper. More than 80 percent of the 129 different versions offered in total by Audi have the best full-coverage rating compared with their respective premium competitors.

The premium build quality of Audi cars is the basis for the economical insurance classifications. In other words, the owner’s driving style is not the only factor when it comes to the insurance rating. The intelligent design of the car, which ensures optimal crash characteristics, is also important.

After all, the less damage done to a car, the less that will have to be paid out in terms of insurance costs. Audi’s highly efficient bumper systems and repair-friendly body concepts also contribute to significantly more cost-effective damage ratings.
