Safety and Driver Assistance Rating:
The Q50 hasn’t been tested by NHTSA and has undergone only partial testing from IIHS, so we can’t speculate on its crashworthiness here. There’s plenty of active safety equipment to be had, but none of it is available in the entry-level trim.
Crash-Test Results
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the nonprofit, independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) evaluate vehicles for crashworthiness in the United States. NHTSA assigns cars an overall rating out of five stars. IIHS uses a different set of tests, grades cars on a scale of Good to Poor, and awards the vehicles that perform best across its tests with Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ honors, the latter of which requires that the subject’s automated forward-collision-braking system performs well. The Q50 hasn’t been tested by NHTSA in several years and has seen only a smattering of incomplete testing from IIHS. It performed well in all the tests it completed.

Airbags, Child Seats, and Spare Tire Location
There’s about as much space for a rear-facing child seat in the Q50 as in other cars in this competitive set, which is to say not enough. Tall drivers won’t be able to sit comfortably with an infant carrier installed behind them.
Active Safety Features
It’s becoming relatively commonplace for forward-collision-avoidance technology to be standard equipment, as it is in the Audi A4. The Q50 does have a wide array of available active safety and driver convenience features, but none can be had in the $35,195 base trim level.
