The brand claim "Vorsprung durch Technik" encapsulates the cutting-edge technology that is at the very heart of the Audi brand. Not just in the domain of sportiness, but also when it comes to a form of mobility that is future-proof. Audi consistently applies various efficiency measures within the framework of an all-embracing concept. As the developer of numerous innovations, we have made a lasting impact on automotive engineering.
TFSI engines
Audi was the first manufacturer in the world to combine petrol direct injection with turbocharging in large-scale car production. TFSI technology combines the advantages of economical, efficient FSIFSIGetting more out of every drop of petrol.FSI technology with the benefits of turbocharging. In other words, more pulling power from less fuel.
Gearshift indicator
The gearshift indicator means you can always drive at the most efficient engine speed. A display in the driver information system indicates when it is advisable to move up a gear.
S tronic
The S tronicS tronicFaster gearshifts, sportier driving: the S tronic combines the sporty characteristics of a manual gearbox with the advantages of an automatic.S tronic gearbox brings a significant fuel saving. In the automatic mode, its control function performs gearshifts swiftly and times them for optimised fuel consumption. The huge spread of ratios covered by S tronic allows the top gears to operate at very low engine speeds.
Energy recovery
The energy recovery system converts kinetic energy into electrical energy during phases when the car is coasting or being braked. When the car accelerates again, the battery directs the temporarily stored energy back into the vehicle, to relieve the load on the alternator and thereby save fuel.
LED daytime running lights
The LEDs used in daytime running lights are made to last the lifetime of the vehicle and the saving in power consumption that they offer is as much as half compared with conventional bulbs.
