Piezo direct injection
Precise injections help lower the com-
bustion noise normally associated with
diesel engines, while optimizing the
distribution of fuel in the combustion
chamber, helping to further reduce ex-
haust emissions.

Making diesel cleaner
A new refinement process has
reduced sulfur in diesel fuel by
more than 97% in years past.

3.0-liter TDI® clean diesel V6 with eight-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission and quattro® all-wheel drive). 2015 EPA estimates. Range based on EPA estimates of 24 mpg city/38 mpg highway and a 19.2-gallon fuel tank. Your mileage will vary and depends
on several factors, including your driving habits and vehicle condition. 5 38% better mileage over comparable gasoline engines is based on 2015 A7 TDI® model’s 29 combined mpg as rated by the EPA vs. the 2014 EPA-rated gasoline-powered equivalent. Your
mileage will vary and depends on several factors, including your driving habits and vehicle condition.
Increased fuel eciency
Another way diesel creates fewer emis-
sions is that it gets better mileage, up
to 38% more mpg than comparable
gasoline engines, in fact.

Combustion
Combining a high compression ratio
with direct injection makes combustion
more ecient, and produces emissions
cleaner than those of engines with a
lower compression ratio.
After-exhaust treatment
With innovative diesel particulate
filters and the nontoxic AdBlue®
reducing agent, we help eliminate
up to 95% of diesel NO
X
emissions.
Diesel packs more energy
On average, one gallon of diesel
contains about 147,000 BTUs, versus
125,000 for gasoline.
Fuel for thought.
We thought you should know: Diesel sports a greater power density than traditional gasoline, which means that a
gallon of diesel fuel has about 15% more energy than a comparable amount of gas, and combusts more eciently
in the engine. The TDI® clean diesel engine available in the A7 has achieved ultra-low emissions vehicle (Bin-5/
ULEV II) status in all 50 states while producing approximately 17% fewer CO
2
emissions than its comparable
gasoline-fueled engine.

And the brainy attributes don’t hide the brawn—in fact, Audi has dominated the 24 Hours
of Le Mans over the years with TDI® prototype race cars. With these facts in mind, maybe you are thinking that a
TDI® might be your choice—which goes to show that clean diesel really is fuel for thought.
