Top rating in DEKRA earned by Audi A4 Used Car Report

As a mark of luxury cars and performance that is among the best in the world, Audi has constantly pushed to the brink of automotive research and technology to ensure long term reliability and superior performance of its road cars.

Proof of this was evident in the 2011 DEKRA Used Car Report that provided top honours to the German car maker’s mid-size A4 sedan model. As the vehicle with the lowest fault rate in its class of cars in 2011 the Audi A4 is the “Best of All Classes”, a badge that its elder sibling the A6 has proudly been carrying for the past three years now. The Audi A6 took third place in the 2011 report standings.

As it came in 2008, the DEKRA testing organization examines the quality and safety of vehicles from a total of 15 million cars that are examined after being divided into eight different categories. 

As part of the Used Car Report, which was previously called the Faults Report, DEKRA also creates a specific fault profile in three mileage classes for each vehicle type. The model with the best average from all three mileage classes is named “Best of All Classes.” So far, among all brands shortlisted by DEKRA year after year the most reliable car with the fewest faults has always been an Audi.
