Audi AG’s e-tron crossover vehicle has become the first electric car to win the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s highest safety rating.
The car garnered IIHS’s “top safety pick plus” by earning “good” ratings for headlamps and six measures of crashworthiness, plus a “superior” score for its front crash prevention technology.
IIHS says BMW AG’s i3 electric city car came close to achieving the same rating, but it didn’t score as well as the e-tron for head restraints, seats and front-crash avoidance.
The institute says it is testing Tesla Inc.’s Model 3 electric sedan for its top honors. Results of its evaluation are due in September.
