The 2020 Audi e-tron Sportback has earned a '2020 Top Safety Pick+' designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), denoting the highest rating awarded through a number of evaluations.
The 2020 e-tron Sportback is the second fully electric model from the brand, following the 2019 Audi e-tron SUV, which became the first electric vehicle from any manufacturer to be awarded with a 2019 Top Safety Pick+ designation.
Through IIHS's evaluations, the e-tron Sportback body and structure excelled in safety performance, earning the top 'Good' rating in six areas of crashworthiness performance. The e-tron Sportback also earned a 'Good' rating with its standard Matrix Design LED head lights and 'Superior' with standard automatic emergency braking as part of Audi Pre sense front.
Distinguished by its refined coupe SUV design, the e-tron Sportback offers everyday utility and a distinct road presence and marks yet another milestone toward Audi's goal of electrifying approximately 30% of its U.S.A lineup by 2025. The e-tron Sportback joins the previously announced 2020 Audi A6 sedan and A6 allroad as 2020 Top Safety Pick+ winners. 2020 IIHS 'Top Safety Pick+' is based on 'good' ratings in six crashworthiness tests plus no less than an 'acceptable' rating for standard headlights, and no less than an 'advanced' rating for both front crash prevention tests.
