Audi Sets the Benchmark for Safety with Multiple 2026 IIHS Awards
Safety is not merely a feature - it is a fundamental pillar of every Audi product. From design and engineering to driving dynamics, every Audi model is developed with one clear objective: to deliver maximum protection for occupants in every situation.
According to the latest 2026 announcement by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) - one of the most respected vehicle safety authorities in the United States, known for its rigorous testing standards - Audi once again reinforces its leadership, with multiple models achieving the highest safety accolades across their respective segments.
The following Audi models, currently available or soon to be introduced in Vietnam, have been recognized among the top performers in safety according to the 2026 IIHS evaluations:
Top Safety Pick+:
- Audi A5
- Audi Q6 e-tron
- Audi A6 Sportback e-tron
- Audi Q5 (All-New)
Top Safety Pick:
Notably, the all-new Audi A5 achieved a “Good” rating - the highest possible score from IIHS -across all major test categories, along with outstanding performance from its collision avoidance assistance systems.
The 2026 IIHS awards are more demanding than ever, introducing enhanced criteria in key areas:
- Rear-seat occupant protection.
- Effectiveness of crash avoidance systems (vehicle-to-vehicle and pedestrian).
- Real-world headlight performance.
Only vehicles that meet all of these stringent requirements simultaneously are eligible for the Top Safety Pick+ designation.
The presence of Audi’s comprehensive lineup - from the Audi A5, to internal combustion engine SUVs such as the Audi Q7 and all-new Audi Q5, to fully electric models like the Audi Q6 e-tron and Audi A6 Sportback e-tron - on this prestigious list underscores Audi’s consistent development philosophy: pioneering technology, always paired with uncompromising, holistic safety.
