A4 allroad quattro Audi S4 Saloon

Everybody defines driving dynamics differently.
We define it like this: drive exactly how you
feel. With the optional Audi drive select, you
can influence individual vehicle components
at the push of a button and so change the
character of your Audi.
You have up to five modes to choose from:
efficiency, comfort, auto, dynamic and, in
conjunction with one of the optional MMI
navigation systems, individual mode, allowing
you to determine yourself how the associated
vehicle components should behave. The comfort
mode is especially suitable for providing the
most relaxed driving possible on long journeys.
The auto mode offers a generally comfortable
yet sporty driving experience. For particularly
sporty driving, for example on winding roads,
there is the dynamic mode. The efficiency
mode improves the car’s overall consumption.
As an integral part of Audi drive select, it is
characterised by more energy-efficient operation
of the engine and auxiliary consumers, e.g. air
conditioning, as well as changing the shift
program in models with automatic transmission.
In every mode, the vehicle adjustments depend
on the equipment present. Audi drive select
interacts as standard with engine, automatic
transmission and steering. Other features
you can also influence – if fitted – include the
suspension with damper control, the dynamic
steering and quattro with sport differential.
The engine and gears react more spontaneously
or in a more balanced manner to movements
of the accelerator, depending on the mode
chosen. Moreover, the engine speeds at which
gear changes take place are varied in models
with automatic transmission – in dynamic mode,
they only happen at higher engine speeds, while
in comfort mode they take place at lower ones.
The steering can also be adapted to the driving
situation, from sporty and firm to comfortable.
In conjunction with the dynamic steering it is
also possible to choose between sporty-direct
and comfortable-indirect. quattro with sport
differential distributes the drive force variably
to the rear axle to attain a high level of agility
and acceleration performance while cornering.
adaptive cruise control can also be set to be either
more balanced or more spontaneous in relation
to acceleration behaviour and as a reaction to the
vehicle in front.
