AUDI 80 is available with two body styles - «sedan» And «station wagon» (Avant models). The smooth connection between the front and rear bumpers and the body skirt gives it a special elegance. Compared to previous models, the body length is about 8 cm, the base is about 7 cm longer and the track width is about 4 cm. The AUDI 80 is equipped with 15-inch wheels.
The new shape of the fuel tank has significantly increased the volume of the trunk. The width of the trunk is one meter, and the trunk of both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive (quattro) models are the same in size.
The car seats are height adjustable. The driver's seat sled is installed in such a way that when the seat is moved longitudinally, a comfortable position for the driver is provided. When the seat is moved forward, it rises, and when moved back, it decreases. When the driver's seat is moved forward, its cushion leans forward slightly, which is very convenient for drivers of short stature.
At the same time, the passive safety of the car was strengthened by additional reinforcement of the doors, as well as the installation of a protection system «procon-ten». This system shifts the steering wheel forward in the event of a frontal collision, thus removing the obstacle that the driver inevitably encounters in such cases. This displacement is provided due to the fact that the spars take on the main impact force, which, in the event of a collision, «add up» into an accordion. At the same time, the impact force is distributed over the elements of the security system, causing the tension of the seat belts with simultaneous displacement of the steering wheel.
Passenger protection in the event of a side impact is ensured by the use of channels and a stable cross member in the area of the instrument panel. Larger central pillars are connected to the channels and roof pillars. The rigidity of the structure is given by the cross bars in the area of the front and rear seats. The doors are overlapped relative to adjacent racks, with an overlap, which avoids jamming of the doors even with significant deformation of the body.
