The Audi Q7 is a luxury three-row SUV that stands out from its classmates. In a competitive category, the Q7 leads the way in performance, design quality, and technology. Now, it has even more bragging rights, earning the IIHS 2025 Top Safety Pick+ award for its advanced safety features.
What Is The 2025 Top Safety Pick+ Award?
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) annually awards vehicles with exceptional safety features. Occasionally, the IIHS updates its safety criteria to make testing more rigorous, which was the case in 2025. The Audi Q7, however, passed even the newer and more stringent safety criteria that the IIHS used for vehicle evaluations this year. Specifically, the updated IIHS testing focused on protecting second-row occupants during moderate front-end collisions. The 2025 Audi Q7 earned a top IIHS rating of “good” for its ability to safeguard second-row occupants in a moderate front-end crash.
Along with its protection for back seat occupants, the Q7 also received top IIHS crash scores for small front and side collision tests. The Audi's scores ranged from “acceptable” to “good” for its pedestrian front crash protection features. To achieve those ratings, vehicles must be equipped with headlights that receive an “acceptable” or “good” safety rating, and they must be able to detect pedestrians at night in addition to daylight.
2025 Audi Q7 Safety Aids
The Audi Q7 is equipped with an impressive list of safety components. The Q7 features an advanced pre-sense safety feature that detects an impending collision and protects the vehicle from impact by closing the windows, sunroof, and pretensioning occupant safety belts. The same pre-sense system uses a camera to warn drivers of potentially dangerous conditions so that they have time to react before an accident. The Q7 also has blind-spot monitoring, including mirror-based sensors that alert the driver if a vehicle is in the lane where they are turning. Lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and rear cross-traffic assist are other advanced safety aids that the 2025 Audi Q7 includes. Along with the standard set of safety aids, some additional safety features are available as add-ons, including a panoramic camera that gives drivers a 360-degree view of the vehicle.
