Anti-lock braking system ABS
with electronic brake-force distribution EBD and
hydraulic brake assist
Traction control ASR
for good traction and lateral stability, reduces spinning
of the drive wheels
Electronic differential lock EDL
on surfaces with varying levels of grip, this drive-off
assistant automatically brakes the drive wheels on the
surface that is too slippery, thereby enabling you to
make a smooth, powerful driving off
Electronic Stabilisation Programme ESP
networks the ABS, EBD, ASR and EDL with its own
sensors and compares the driving data with reference
data; provides better stability through targeted braking
of individual wheels and intervention in the engine
management system
Electromechanical power steering
maintenance-free rack & pinion steering with speed-
dependent servo assistance; precise steering feel at high
speeds, excellent assistance when parking; active
countersteering provides steering assistance to the
driver for enhanced vehicle stability
S tronic
The 7-speed dual clutch transmission with electrohydraulic
actuation facilitates shorter gearshift times and
gearshifting with hardly any perceptible break in propulsive
power: can be operated via the shift paddles behind the
steering wheel or the gear lever knob; in automatic mode
the driver can choose between two programs D (normal)
and S (sports).
quattro®
permanent all-wheel drive with self-locking centre
differential and torque distributed individually to each
wheel; distributes the driving forces depending on the
driving situation to each individual wheel for precisely
controlled handling
quattro® with sports differential
the electronically controlled sports differential distributes
variable amounts of driving force to each wheel, ensuring
outstanding acceleration performance in corners and
stabilising the vehicle’s response to load change; it also
improves direct steering characteristics and provides
more agile handling due to the lower steering effort
required.
Recuperation
Increasing the generator voltage converts kinetic energy
into usable electrical energy when the vehicle is coasting
or braking. This energy is used to assist the generator
during subsequent acceleration, saving up to 3 % fuel.
Start-stop system
helps to reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions by
switching off the engine in stationary phases, e.g. at traffic
lights. The start process is initiated as soon as the foot
brake is released for optimum moving off. May be
deactivated using a switch at any time.
