Every movement originates from something. Something that sets it off, an idea. The engine
in your new Audi A7 Sportback can also be traced back to an initial spark of inspiration:
higher power with lower fuel consumption. These apparently conflicting aims are reconciled
in two revolutionary drive technologies: TDI and TFSI. Get acquainted with both of them.
And then opt for the drive system that you feel most moved by.
Maximum power.
Put to maximum use.
Intelligent performance
The fuel consumption and CO emission figures as well as the efficiency classes can be found from page 98 onwards.
Intelligent performance
Audi TFSI engines attain a particularly high compression rate. The
result: outstanding efficiency combined with optimum performance.
Substituting supercharging for cubic capacity has the effect of
considerably reducing engine size and weight – while performance
remains as impressively dynamic as ever. For power delivery that
will win you over from the word go.
With their combination of direct injection and turbocharging, Audi
TDI engines promise exceptional performance – thanks to their high
torque output over the entire engine speed range with constant
power build-up. They are renowned for being fuel-efficient and for
reducing emissions. But they are incredibly dynamic too – letting
you get the maximum out of any road.
TDI® TFSI®
Audi cylinder
on demand
Even cylinder heads can be intelligent,
as Audi cylinder on demand proves.
Four of the TFSI engine’s eight
cylinders automatically shut down
in the partial-load range. This helps
to lower fuel consumption at the
same time as reducing emissions.
Without the switchover even being
noticed or impairing the driving
dynamics.
