KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What ratings did the IIHS give 2022 Audi Q4 e-tron for its vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention test?

    The IIHS gave the Audi Q4 e-tron “superior” ratings for both its vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention test.
  • What ratings did the IIHS give the 2022 Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron for its vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention test?

    The IIHS gave the Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron a “superior” rating for its vehicle-to-vehicle while it only received an “advanced” rating for its vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention test.
  • The independent, non-profit organization gave the German automaker’s electric midsize luxury sport utility vehicle (SUV) the highest possible rating, which serves as a testament to the level of safety the two vehicles offer Audi’s customers.

    To get the TSP+ award, a vehicle must earn good ratings in six IIHS crashworthiness evaluations, namely the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, original side, roof strength, and head restraint tests. The vehicle must also be available with a front crash prevention system that earns advanced or superior ratings in both the vehicle-to-vehicle and daytime vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations. Additionally, to receive a TSP+ rating, “good” or “acceptable” headlights must be standard across all variants.

    Per IIHS, the tested 2022 Audi Q4 e-tron achieved a “good” rating in all six crashworthiness tests. It also had “good” headlight ratings and “superior” ratings in both its vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention test. Likewise, the tested 2022 Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback received “good” ratings in all six crashworthiness tests and “good” headlight ratings. However, it received a “superior” rating for its vehicle-to-vehicle front crash prevention test and an “advanced” rating for its vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention test.
