2025 Audi Sq6 Safety Report

The 2025 Audi SQ6, being a new model, currently has very limited safety data available from NHTSA. With only 3 total complaints, 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 deaths reported, it's premature to draw definitive conclusions about its long-term safety profile. The overall safety picture is largely unknown due to the lack of comprehensive crash test ratings (Overall=N/A, Frontal=N/A, Side=N/A, Rollover=N/A) and a non-existent recall history (0 recalls). This absence of data is typical for a vehicle in its inaugural model year. Despite the low complaint volume, a pattern of electrical system issues is emerging. Two of the three complaints directly reference problems with the electrical system, specifically involving the instrument cluster and a critical SX6 module. One complaint details a defective SX6 module leading to "multiple critical system failures" affecting electronic, safety, and communication systems. Another complaint describes the instrument panel becoming inoperable and blank, even after a system reboot, which the dealer confirmed is a designed behavior during an MMI reset. These early reports suggest potential software or electrical integration challenges. The current data does not allow for an assessment of crash test performance as NHTSA has not yet published ratings for the 2025 Audi SQ6. Without these ratings, it's impossible to evaluate its structural integrity or occupant protection capabilities in various collision scenarios. The lack of recalls also means there have been no widespread, manufacturer-acknowledged safety defects requiring corrective action. As more vehicles are sold and driven, and as NHTSA conducts its testing, a clearer safety picture will undoubtedly emerge.

Our recommendation: Given the 2025 Audi SQ6 is a brand new model with extremely limited safety data and no crash test ratings, potential buyers should exercise caution and monitor for emerging issues as more vehicles enter service.
