The 2012 Volkswagen Passat and the 2012 Audi A6 have just received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick award, with both vehicles having excellent scores for the roof strength rollover test (the one you see in the adjacent image).
Even though both vehicles showed that they could protect their occupants in the event of a rollover crash, In this battle, it was the Passat that clearly outshined the A6.
The results have been eagerly awaited, as both cars has been redesigned for the 2012 model year. The VW car withstood a force equal to 6.3 times its weight, while the value for the A6 sits at 4.9.
