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 future-proof mobility. 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® engine
Audi was the first manufacturer in the world to combine petrol direct injection with turbocharging in large-scale car production. TFSITFSIAudi was the first manufacturer in the world to combine petrol direct injection with turbocharging in large-scale car productionTFSI technology combines the advantages of economical, efficient FSIFSIGetting more out of every drop of petrol.FSI technology with the benefits of supercharging. In other words, more pulling power from less fuel.
LED technology
The LEDs used in daytime running lights, side turn indicators and rear lights are made to last the lifetime of the vehicle. Not only that, but the saving in power consumption that they offer is as much as half compared with conventional bulbs.
S tronic®
The optional 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 combines the low fuel consumption of the manual gearbox with the advantages of an automatic. In 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 braking. 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.
