4 Electric Audi SUVs Get Highest IIHS Safety Ratings
report. There are several aspects of an EV powertrain that allow electric vehicles to be much safer than their “comparable” fossil-powered vehicles. From a low center of gravity with a “skateboard” battery pack to larger crumple zones to less risk of a sudden uncontrolled explosion, electric vehicles are simply safer. Audi is proving that yet again. All of Audi’s electric SUVs have received the Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety .
The electric models that got the top safety rating were the: 2023 Audi Q4 e-tron, 2023 Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron, 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron, and 2024 Audi Q8 Sportback e-tron. Note that the IIHS safety rating system gets tougher over time as technology advances. Back in February , IIHS made the rating system tougher yet again. The higher standards included “an updated side crash test that involves 82 percent more energy than the original test, along with a new nighttime vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention test.” IIHS has gotten better over the years at including pedestrian and bicyclist safety in its safety rating systems.
