Audi efficiency
gearshifting times. And the aerodynamic design of the
Audi bodies provides additional savings in fuel by combining
low air resistance with low levels of lift.
All measures contribute towards a perfect combination of
efficiency and sportiness in every Audi. Today – and also in
the future. So that you can at all times feel the demands that
we have always placed on ourselves: Vorsprung durch
Technik.

Efficiency: standard in every Audi.
The direct route to enhanced efficiency is via innovation.
For decades, Audi has been continuously providing decisive
impetus for the entire automobile industry, thereby proving
that effective efficiency is the result of a sustainable
strategy. That’s why fuel consumption and emissions-
reducing measures are fitted as standard to all Audi models.
The extensive technologies are combined in a model-specific
manner and are implemented consistently throughout the
entire vehicle fleet.
The Audi Space Frame (ASF) is a milestone in Audi’s extensive
experience in lightweight construction. With this
revolutionary construction method, the weight of the body
shell is reduced by about a third in comparison with
conventional steel construction. The latest innovation in
lightweight construction: the weight-reducing aluminium
hybrid construction used in the new Audi A6.
Furthermore, with the TDI, Audi has developed one of
the world’s most successful diesel technologies. The
combination of direct diesel injection and turbocharging
provides high efficiency and superior engine power. Current
highlight: the 3.0 TDI clean diesel in the Audi A4 Saloon¹.
It already fulfils the EU6 emissions standard that does not
come into force in Europe until 2014.
Also noteworthy: the downsizing technology of the TFSI®
petrol engines. Five times in succession, the 2.0-litre TFSI
engine has been voted “Engine of the Year”². A new
evolutionary stage in efficiency is set by Audi with the
Q5hybrid quattro: as a pioneer of electrical mobility, it
marks the entry into a future that in the long term will be
emissions-free.
The potential of the frugal TDI and TFSI engines is brought
particularly efficiently onto the road with the S tronic dual-
clutch transmission with low engine speeds and shorter
