ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Audi A4 Allroad?
The 2024 Audi A4 Allroad marks a one-point climb in the NHTSA Safety Index, rising from 99/100 in the 2023 model year to a perfect 100/100 in 2024. That single-point gain, while modest in absolute terms, reflects the elimination of any remaining defect-record friction and a complete sweep of all three sub-score categories: crash protection 70/70, avoidance tech 10/10, and defect record 20/20. What distinguishes this specific year most sharply from its predecessor is the zero-recall standing. No campaign has been opened against this model year, a meaningful contrast to the broader recall environment across the automotive industry. The one formally scored crash-test result, a 5-star side rating from NHTSA NCAP, anchors the crash-protection sub-score, while the absence of overall, frontal, and rollover ratings simply means those tests were not conducted, not that the vehicle performed poorly. Standard forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control ensure the avoidance-tech sub-score is fully realized. The four owner-reported complaints on file are low in volume and carry no allegations of injury, fire, or crash, reinforcing the picture that 2024 is the strongest safety year this nameplate has produced under MotorCaliber's methodology.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2024 Audi A4 Allroad perform in crash tests?
The 2024 Audi A4 Allroad received a 5 out of 5 star rating for side-crash protection from NHTSA. No ratings were published for overall, frontal, or rollover crash tests, indicating these evaluations were not conducted. These unrated categories do not suggest a poor result; rather, they reflect the extent of the official testing.
