ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Audi S4?
The 2024 Audi S4 achieves a NHTSA Safety Index of 100 out of 100, placing it in the Exceptional band. This score matches the 2023 model year, indicating sustained performance across all evaluation components: 70 out of 70 for crash protection, 10 out of 10 for avoidance technology, and 20 out of 20 for its defect record. The defect record component reflects zero recall campaigns and zero owner complaints, an uncommon achievement for a vehicle with an established presence. Its full avoidance technology score is supported by standard forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control. For crash protection, NHTSA has not issued overall, frontal, or side star ratings for this model year. The crash protection score relies solely on the rollover assessment, where the S4 earned 5 out of 5 stars with a 10 percent rollover risk. The 2024 S4 presents a spotless federal safety record by available metrics, but the absence of comprehensive frontal and side crash-test data leaves a significant portion of its crashworthiness unassessed.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2024 Audi S4 perform in crash tests?
For the 2024 Audi S4, NHTSA's assessment is incomplete regarding overall, frontal, and side crash protection; no star ratings were assigned in these critical categories. The sole evaluated discipline is rollover, where the S4 achieved 5 out of 5 stars. This rating is supported by a 10 percent rollover risk and a "No Tip" outcome in the dynamic test. The absence of comprehensive NCAP ratings signifies an untested status, not a deficiency in tested performance.
