ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 Audi A4 Allroad?
The 2022 Audi A4 Allroad maintains an Exceptional Safety Index of 99/100, mirroring the 2021 model year. This consistent performance derives from a robust crash protection score of 70 out of 70, anchored by a 5-star side-impact rating. The vehicle also scores a perfect 10 out of 10 for its standard crash-avoidance technology, which includes forward collision warning and lane departure warning. Its defect record category earned 19 out of 20 points, reflecting a single recall. This recall is limited in scope, addressing the infotainment touchscreen and monitor rather than a powertrain, structural, or occupant-protection system. Notably, there are zero owner complaints registered with NHTSA, a significant indicator for a vehicle now in the used market. However, the safety assessment is incomplete. The 5-star side-impact result is the sole NHTSA crash-test figure published for this model year. Overall, frontal, and rollover categories remain unevaluated, representing a substantial data gap for consumers seeking a comprehensive safety profile.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2022 Audi A4 Allroad perform in crash tests?
The 2022 Audi A4 Allroad received a 5 out of 5 star rating in NHTSA's side-impact crash test. No ratings are available for overall, frontal, or rollover performance, as NHTSA did not conduct these evaluations for the A4 Allroad in the 2022 model year. The lack of these specific ratings indicates only that those tests were not performed.
