Top marks for the Audi Q6 e-tron in Euro NCAP and best in class in child safety

6

The recognized European consumer protection organization Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Programme) has awarded the Audi Q6 e-tron the top rating of five stars.

All cars are evaluated in the categories “protection of adult passengers”, “child safety”, “protection of soft road users” and “standard assistance systems”, and the Audi Q6 e-tron achieved great results in all test categories.

Euro NCAP rated “protection of adult passengers” at 91%, which is almost full and provides optimal protection. For the first time in an Audi model, “post-crash features” (including rescue data sheets for emergency services and e-call) were assessed and the Audi Q6 e-tron scored very well.

With a rating of 92% in the child safety category, the Audi Q6 e-tron model family is currently “best in class” among all cars tested so far in 2023 and 2024. Features that go beyond requirements and consumer protection also contribute to this. For example, the Q6 e-tron is one of the few models in the segment that has three “i-Size” seats, two in the back seat and one in the front passenger seat. “i-Size” is a European safety standard for child seats that was introduced in 2013 and ensures unlimited compatibility between child seat and car. The front passenger seat in the Q6 e-tron is equipped with automatic deactivation of the passenger airbag in front of rear-facing child seats, where the car can detect when to deactivate the airbag. The restraint systems for child seats have been further improved and provide optimal protection for children of all sizes.

Safety is a top priority at Audi, with 220 experts performing more than 1,000 complex crash tests as well as around 20,000 virtual accident simulations each year and constantly working on new safety features.

The NCAP test results apply not only to the Audi Q6 SUV e-tron, which was presented in March, but also to the Sportback version, which will be launched in 2025. On October 14, Audi will present for the first time the Sportback version of the Q6 e-tron the family at the Paris Motor Show 2024.
