Driving dynamics/brakes
Audi drive select
different modes – auto, comfort, dynamic, efficiency
and (in conjunction with an MMI navigation
system) individual – allow you to adjust the vehicle’s
characteristics by adapting the power steering
assistance, accelerator and gear changing
characteristics (on vehicles with automatic
transmission) and the settings of other optional
equipment. The efficiency mode shifts specifically
selected systems to a consumption-improved
basic setting.
Dynamic suspension
sporty, dynamic driving characteristics thanks to
impressive driving dynamics and agile handling; 5-link
lightweight front axle and trapezoidal-link rear axle
with independent wheel suspension
Sport suspension
more direct contact with the road and sportier
handling thanks to body being lowered by 20 mm,
compared with the dynamic suspension, and stiffer
spring and damper tuning
S line sport suspension
more dynamic suspension setting and vehicle lowered
by 10 mm compared with the sport suspension and
the dynamic suspension
Suspension with damper control
adapts electrically to different driving situations,
adjustable via Audi drive select; includes dynamic or
comfort-orientated damper settings
quattro® with sport differential
The electronically controlled sport differential
distributes variable amounts of drive force to each
wheel and ensures outstanding acceleration
performance in corners and stabilises the vehicle’s
response to load change. It also improves direct
steering characteristics and provides more agile
handling due to the lower steering effort required.
quattro®
permanent all-wheel drive with self-locking centre
differential and asymmetric/dynamic torque
distribution, as well as wheel-selective torque control
and Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) on all driven
wheels; distributes the drive force depending on the
driving situation to each individual wheel for precisely
controlled, sporty handling; quattro emblem in Audi
Singleframe, on the luggage compartment lid and in
the dashboard on the passenger side
multitronic®
multitronic continuously variable transmission with
dynamic gear control program and sport program.
Choice of 8 gears in manual mode. Includes hydraulically
controlled multi-plate clutch
S tronic®
The 7-speed, electrohydraulically actuated dual-clutch
transmission facilitates faster gear changes with
virtually no break in propulsive power. In
automatic
mode, the driver can choose between
the programs
D (Drive) and S (Sport). The S tronic can be operated
manually via the selector lever or the optional shift
paddles behind the steering wheel. Includes hold assist
Electromechanical power steering
combines precision and comfort with exceptional
energy-saving technology. The electromechanical
steering system with speed-sensitive steering
assistance ensures stability at high speeds whilst
also being light and precise when parking and
manoeuvring.
Dynamic steering
when changing lanes, parking and cornering, for
example, this system improves handling and ride
comfort by dynamically regulating the steering
according to the driving situation; in addition to
adaptation of the steering effort, the steering angle
(steering ratio) is also adapted; also supports vehicle
stabilisation through ESC
Brake system
dual-circuit with diagonally-split brake system,
Antilock Brake System (ABS) with Electronic Brake
Force Distribution (EBD), Electronic Stabilisation
Control (ESC) with brake assist, tandem brake booster,
disc brakes front/rear, ventilated at front
Electromechanical parking brake
includes parking brake function when stationary,
drive-off assistance function through automatic
release when driving away and maximum deceleration
action while driving acting on all 4 wheels
Hold assist¹
holds the vehicle stationary for unlimited periods after
stopping in traffic on normal uphill and downhill
gradients. The system is activated by push-button and
allows the driver to drive away smoothly.
Cruise control¹
at speeds of around 30 km/h and above, the system
keeps the set speed constant, provided that engine
power and engine braking effect permit it; automatic
braking intervention, e.g. when driving downhill;
operated via separate steering column stalk; set speed
displayed in the driver information system
Assistance package¹
combines the following assistance systems:
▪ parking system plus or, on request, parking system
plus with reversing camera
▪ adaptive cruise control
▪ Audi active lane assist
The systems in the assistance package complement
each other and provide mutual assistance. Notes on
activation and settings can be found in the description
for the respective assistance system.
