The Audi A6 has again been awarded the title “Best of All Classes” in the Faults Report 2011 of the DEKRA testing organization. For the third time in a row the Audi A6 placed first in the overall rating by the world market leader in automotive testing, as the institute describes itself. The results of the Faults Report 2011 were announced in Stuttgart today.
The DEKRA experts award the title to the models with the lowest fault rate over a high mileage, thus rewarding high long-term quality. In preparing the 2011 Faults Report DEKRA will be using the new DEKRA defects index. This classification system incorporates the rating of “considerable defects” as an evaluation criterion in addition to “no relevant defects”. According to DEKRA, taking into account the share of considerable defects among all defects allows evaluations to be even more exact.
For the “DEKRA Faults Report 2011” experts looked only at models for which at least 1,000 units have been tested in the particular mileage class.
Audi is continuing the success story of the most reliable business sedan. The new A6 will be launched in early 2011. The new edition of the A6 is distinguished by top quality and innovative solutions in all technical areas.
