Technical data

Everybody defines driving dynamics differently.
We define it like this: drive exactly how you feel.
With the Audi drive select, which is standard in
the S models and the Ambition equipment line,
you can influence individual vehicle components
at the push of a button or via the car menu in
the optional MMI and so change the character of
your Audi. You have up to five modes to choose
from: efficiency, comfort, dynamic, auto and – in
conjunction with MMI radio or MMI navigation
plus with MMI touch – individual. In this mode,
you determine the behaviour of the connected
vehicle components yourself.
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 helps to improve consumption
values. As an integral part of Audi drive select,
it is characterised in the case of S tronic by a
modified gear change programme and more
energy-efficient basic settings . When you take
your foot off the accelerator, the vehicle
automatically goes into coasting mode when set
to efficiency, which means the vehicle continues
to move without engine brake losses. In every
mode, the vehicle adjustments depend on the
equipment selected.
The fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures as well as the efficiency classes can be found from page 122 onwards.
