Driving dynamics/brakes
Audi magnetic ride with vehicle lowered³
improves ride comfort and driving dynamics by
regulating the damping forces based on the driving
situation; adaptive damper system with 3 individual
suspension settings (auto/comfort/dynamic) operated
via Audi drive select, lowered by 10 mm
Front-wheel drive
distributes the drive forces to the front wheels depending
on the driving situation; with Electronic Differential
Lock (EDL) and wheel-selective torque steering through
intervention of the brake system on both driven wheels,
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) and Electronic Stabilisation
Control (ESC) with brake assist
S tronic®
6-speed dual-clutch transmission with electrohydraulic
actuation allows for shorter gear-change times and gear
changes with virtually no perceptive break in propulsive
power. The S tronic can be manually operated using
the shift paddles behind the steering wheel or the
selector lever. In automatic mode, there is a choice of
programmes – D (Drive) and S (Sport). Includes hill
hold assist. When in “D” gear, coasting mode allows
an anticipatory driving style and helps to reduce fuel
consumption by automatically disengaging when the
accelerator is released. It is automatically re-engaged
when the footbrake or the accelerator is pressed. Can
be activated in Audi drive select – efficiency mode
Audi drive select
allows vehicle characteristics to be set in the available
modes auto, comfort, dynamic, efficiency as well as –
in conjunction with MMI radio or MMI navigation plus
with MMI touch – individual by adjusting the power
steering assistance, engine characteristics, torque
distribution with quattro and further optional
equipment. The efficiency mode switches specifically
selected systems to a consumption-improved basic
setting
Suspension with sporty settings
more direct contact with the road and sportier
handling thanks to stiff springs and damper tuning
S line sport suspension
more dynamic spring/damper setting and vehicle
lowered by 10 mm
quattro®
permanent all-wheel drive with electronically
controlled multi-plate clutch on the rear axle and
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL); distribution of
drive forces depending on the driving situation
to each individual wheel for precisely controlled,
sporty handling; influence of torque distribution in
conjunction with Audi drive select; quattro emblem in
the Audi Singleframe, on the luggage compartment lid
Manual transmission
all-synchromesh 6-speed manual transmission
with hydraulically activated single-disc dry clutch with
asbestos-free linings and dual-mass flywheel
Secondary collision brake assist
Following an accident, uncontrolled continued vehicle
motion is prevented in certain situations. In these
cases, secondary collisions can be avoided
¹ Please note: The systems work only within system limits and assist the driver. However, the driver remains responsible for driving the vehicle and is required to be attentive at all times.
² Only available for Western Europe. ³ For information on when this feature will be available, please contact your Audi partner.
Electromechanical parking brake
includes parking brake function when stationary,
drive-off assistance function through automatic release
when driving away and maximum deceleration action
while driving acting on all 4 wheels
Progressive steering
enhances the driving dynamics and driving comfort
thanks to more direct steering characteristics (e.g. on
winding
rural roadways or when turning) and reduced
steering effort (e.g. when parking and manoeuvring);
impressive driving characteristics thanks to a steering
ratio based on the steering angle and speed-sensitive
power steering assistance, can be set via Audi drive
select (auto/comfort/dynamic)
Electromechanical power steering
combines precision and comfort with exceptional
energy-saving technology. The electromechanical
steering ensures stability at high speeds whilst being
light and precise when parking and manoeuvring
Brake system
diagonally-split dual-circuit brake system, Antilock
Brake System (ABS) with Electronic Brake force
Distribution (EBD), Electronic Stabilisation Control
(ESC) with brake assist, tandem brake booster, disc
brakes front/rear, ventilated at front
