Audi E-Tron GT
NHTSA safety across every Audi E-Tron GT model year we cover.
Across the 3 model years of the Audi E-Tron GT we cover (2022 to 2024), no year has an NHTSA crash-test score on record. 25 recalls have been issued across those years.
The Audi E-Tron GT is a performance-focused all-electric grand tourer that slots into the premium EV segment as one of Audi's most ambitious four-door fastbacks. Sharing its platform with the Porsche Taycan, it targets driving enthusiasts who want serious acceleration and a refined cabin experience without a combustion engine. It competes at the upper end of the luxury EV space, appealing to buyers who prioritize style and performance alongside zero-emission credentials.
From a pure safety-data standpoint, the Audi E-Tron GT presents a mixed picture for the 2022 through 2024 model years. On the positive side, NHTSA has recorded zero owner complaints across all three years, which is a genuinely unusual finding for any vehicle in this segment, let alone one sold in meaningful numbers. No reported crashes, no reported fires, no injuries, and no deaths in the federal complaint database is a clean sheet that shoppers will appreciate. However, the E-Tron GT has not been crash-tested by NHTSA during the years we cover, which means there are no star ratings or Safety Index scores to anchor confidence in structural performance. That absence of independent crash data is a real gap, and buyers cannot lean on federal ratings the way they could with many competitors. What complicates the picture further is the recall count: 25 recalls across just three model years is a notably high figure for any vehicle. Recalls are not inherently dangerous, since they represent manufacturers identifying and correcting problems, but the volume here signals that the E-Tron GT has required substantial post-sale engineering attention. Until NHTSA conducts full crash testing on this platform, the safety story remains genuinely incomplete. Shoppers should verify all open recalls are resolved before purchase.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally regard the E-Tron GT as one of the most compelling electric grand tourers on the market, praising its driving dynamics, build quality, and the visceral experience it delivers despite zero emissions. Most acknowledge it sits at a premium price point and that the interior and technology reflect Audi's flagship ambitions. Range is sometimes noted as a limitation relative to some rivals.
- The E-Tron GT has not been crash-tested by NHTSA for any model year from 2022 to 2024, meaning there are no federal star ratings available to help evaluate its structural safety performance.
- With 25 recalls across the 2022 to 2024 model years, this vehicle has an unusually high recall count for a three-year span. Prospective buyers should run the VIN through NHTSA's recall database to confirm all outstanding recalls have been completed by an authorized dealer.
- Owner complaints filed with NHTSA total zero across all covered model years, which is a notably clean complaint record and suggests owners have not been reporting safety-related issues to the federal government at any meaningful rate.
- Because independent crash-test data from NHTSA is absent, shoppers who prioritize verified crash protection should check whether the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has tested this model and review those results alongside the federal recall history before making a purchase decision.
