Our analysis

The 2026 Audi A6 Allroad belongs to the Large cars class. This class has an above-average driver death rate compared with the national average of 38 deaths per million registered vehicle-years, which usually reflects lighter weight and smaller size in multi-vehicle crashes. The class figure is adjusted for driver age and sex, which removes a large part of the selection effect in raw death rates. It is still a class average, not a measurement of this model.

The Audi A6 Allroad has no IIHS Top Safety Pick award for 2026. That can mean a result below the award threshold in one test, or tests IIHS has not completed. Absence of an award is not evidence that the vehicle is unsafe.

Across the 2 IIHS rating categories reported, the Audi A6 Allroad earned 2 Good ratings. Check the occupant-protection details above as well; a Good headline result can hide a weaker rear-seat subscore.
