How Audi approaches safety
Audi safety index: 4.0 / 5 (5.0★ avg across 4 of 5 models tested)
Audi has a verified crash rating for 4 of its 5 models (80% of the range), averaging 5.0/5 with 4 at a full 5 stars. Our safety index of 4.0/5 is coverage-adjusted: a brand earns credit only for models it actually crash-tests, so untested cars count against it. That puts Audi #10 of 17 brands we track.
Safety index = average Global / Bharat / Euro NCAP star rating across tested Audi models, multiplied by the share of the range that has been tested, so brands that crash-test their whole line-up rank above brands that test only their safest cars. Every rating is verified against the OEM and independent sources; untested models are never guessed.
