Transmissions

S tronic®

Driving is all about thinking ahead, which is just what the

S tronic® dual-clutch transmission does. It works almost

as two separate systems, one engaging the odd-numbered

and the other the even-numbered gears. So when you’re

accelerating in second, it has third gear waiting for you.

And once you make the switch, it’s already thinking about

fourth. With two clutches working together, you can

change gears almost instantly while experiencing smooth,

uninterrupted power.

tiptronic®

The 8-speed tiptronic transmission system reduces both

fuel consumption and CO

2 emissions. It converts high-

torque engine power into sporty performance and

operating convenience, with crisp, fast gear changes

and an optimised gear-shift strategy. More spontaneous

gear changes are a particular benefit, especially when

downshifting. Both in the ‘D’ (Drive) and ‘S’ (Sport)

programme, the advanced electronics used in tiptronic®

respond efficiently to every driver input.
