Audi E-Tron GT Safety
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.
The 2022-2024 Audi E-Tron GT has not undergone crash testing by NHTSA, leaving no star ratings or a computed Safety Index score to evaluate its structural performance. This absence of federal crash data means consumers cannot assess this vehicle's crashworthiness using the standard government metrics. Despite the lack of crash-test data, the E-Tron GT's owner complaint record is exceptionally clean. Across all three model years, NHTSA has recorded zero owner complaints. This includes no reported crashes, fires, injuries, or fatalities in the federal database, an unusual distinction for any vehicle. However, the recall record presents a different concern. The E-Tron GT has accumulated 25 recalls across the 2022 and 2024 model years. While recalls address identified issues, this high volume indicates the vehicle has required significant post-sale engineering intervention. Until NHTSA performs full crash testing, the complete safety profile of the E-Tron GT remains unquantified by federal data. Buyers must verify all open recalls have been resolved.
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.
