DATANot crash-tested
The 2019 Audi A7 has not been evaluated by NHTSA through its crash-test program. Consequently, this model year carries no federal star ratings for frontal, side, or rollover protection, and our Safety Index therefore cannot be computed. The available federal data indicates a Light burden band for recalls and owner complaints. Six recall campaigns have been issued, addressing issues from lane-departure software and back-over prevention cameras to brake fluid and electrical systems. Owners have filed 40 complaints. This record reflects the scope of federal data collection for this model year but does not provide direct evidence for crashworthiness.

ANALYSISHow safe is the 2019 Audi A7?
No federal crash-test data exists for the 2019 Audi A7. This model year was not evaluated by NHTSA, leaving an absence of star ratings for structural integrity or restraint effectiveness. The Safety Index score, therefore, could not be computed for the 2019 A7. NHTSA records six recall campaigns for the 2019 A7. These address safety-critical systems, including a re-repair for lane-departure software, indicating a prior fix was insufficient for some vehicles. Other recalls targeted the back-over camera and brake fluid, both essential for active driving safety. Owner complaints total 40. Of these, 23 point to issues within the electrical system, which also features in one of the six recall campaigns. Despite these specific concerns, the 2019 Audi A7 falls into the Light band for recall and complaint burden, reflecting a relatively low volume compared to the broader vehicle population. For shoppers prioritizing federal crash-test results, it is worth noting that the 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 A7 model years have received Safety Index scores, though these are not applicable to the 2019 model.
