The Audi A6 e-tron has earned the highest possible overall rating of five stars in the U.S. New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). With this top result, the Audi model ranks among the safest vehicles tested since the introduction of the significantly more stringent U.S. NCAP assessment methodology in 2012. The Audi A6 e-tron delivered particularly strong performance in the side-impact test, recording an injury risk of just 2.0 percent. In April 2026, the model also received the prestigious Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). In 2025, it had already achieved the highest rating of five stars in the Euro NCAP test. The Audi A6 e-tron therefore earns top ratings in the world’s most important consumer vehicle safety programs.
