Transmission
Translating a driver’s preferences and intentions into road performance, the multitronic
®
transmission system entertains no compromises – whether in terms of dynamism,
convenience or economy. multitronic
®
automatic transmission is available on models
without quattro
®
permanent all-wheel-drive. A continuously variable transmission,
multitronic
®
can transmit up to 310 Nm of torque and permits an exceptionally wide
range of gear ratios. The result is smooth, powerful acceleration and a high level of
driving comfort. And thanks to its lightweight design and a number of advanced
electronic control systems that monitor gradient, road conditions and the way the
driver is using the accelerator pedal, multitronic
®
also plays an instrumental role in
reducing fuel consumption.
The 6-speed tiptronic
®
transmission system is a form of automatic transmission
available on Audi models with quattro
®
permanent all-wheel-drive. The technology
converts high-torque engine power into both sporty performance and operating
convenience, with crisp, fast gear changes, reduced weight and an optimised gearshift
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, helping to
prevent unwanted upshifts when cornering.
