Audi continues to set new standards in safety and innovation with its Q6 e-tron, which has earned a prestigious five-star rating from the renowned European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP). Recognized for its outstanding safety features across multiple categories, the Q6 e-tron stands out as a leading example of Audi’s commitment to occupant protection, child safety, and cutting-edge assistance systems.
A Benchmark in Safety
The Q6 e-tron excelled in all key Euro NCAP safety categories, receiving a near-perfect score of 91% for adult occupant protection and an impressive 92% for child safety. This makes it “Best in Class” among all vehicles tested in 2023 and 2024 for protecting younger passengers. The Q6 e-tron’s advanced safety technology includes three i-Size seats—two in the rear and one in the front passenger seat—ensuring seamless compatibility with child seats. This is a rare feature in the vehicle’s segment and highlights Audi’s focus on family-friendly design.
Additionally, the Q6 e-tron is equipped with an automatic deactivation system for the front passenger airbag when using rear-facing child seats, enhancing protection for young passengers. Euro NCAP testers praised the vehicle’s state-of-the-art restraint systems, which offer optimal protection for passengers of all sizes, making the Q6 e-tron a safe choice for families.
Continuous Innovation in Safety
Audi’s focus on vehicle safety goes beyond just meeting regulatory standards. The brand employs a dedicated team of 220 experts, performing over 1,000 crash tests and 20,000 virtual simulations each year to improve their models’ safety features. The Q6 e-tron benefits from these rigorous safety protocols, with the addition of post-crash functions like rescue data sheets for emergency services and an automatic e-call system, which were assessed for the first time in this model.
Sportback Version Set to Shine in Paris
The excellent safety ratings not only apply to the Audi Q6 SUV e-tron, but also extend to the upcoming Sportback variant. Set to make its world premiere at the 2024 Paris Motor Show, the Sportback model shares the same advanced safety features that made the Q6 e-tron a standout performer in Euro NCAP tests. This highly anticipated version will debut on October 14 at the famous Porte de Versailles exhibition center, offering the same electrifying performance with a sportier, more dynamic silhouette.
Both the Q6 e-tron SUV and Sportback models are slated for market release in 2025, along with their respective S versions, ensuring a broader range of options for Audi enthusiasts looking for sustainable luxury and uncompromising safety.
With top marks from Euro NCAP and the unveiling of its sleek new Sportback model at the 2024 Paris Motor Show, Audi’s Q6 e-tron family is poised to lead the charge in safety and electric mobility. Whether you’re a parent looking for exceptional child safety features or an EV enthusiast excited for a new chapter in Audi design, the Q6 e-tron delivers across the board.
