Audi reveals 2024 safety updates for Australia

Audi Australia has detailed 2024 model-year changes across its range, with a focus on safety and assistance technologies.

As revealed by CarExpert in August, the entire portfolio of Audi models will have increased safety systems across the board “from A1 to Q5” – the model lines that previously had select systems available as part of option packages.

From model year 2024, all Audi vehicles (bar the TT) will feature adaptive cruise control as standard equipment, with active lane assist and traffic jam assist joining the spec sheet of model lines where they were previously optional.

Audi Australia says MY24 models have started arriving from September and will continue in the months following, “depending on specific model variants”.

Pricing changes haven’t been detailed.
