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.
TDI engines
TDI: the synonym for economy, low emissions and high power yield, achieved by means of pioneering technologies such as the common rail system and piezo injectors.
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 FSI technology with the benefits of turbocharging. In other words, more pulling power from less fuel.
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.
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.
