The E-Tron SUV became the first electric car to win a top safety award after passing IIHS & Euro NCAP crash tests with good ratings.
Even the advanced active safety systems like the automatic emergency braking system performed well in 25 mile per hour tests. It's quite the relief considering improvements can be made elsewhere but at least safety isn't one of them! Videos of the tests posted below provide clear visuals on how well the E-Tron's structure protects its occupants.
