Our hybrids can be driven purely electrically in EV for short distances. This makes for reduced emissions and almost silent driving. D mode is set up for optimised fuel consumption and main drive power comes from the 2.0 TFSI engine. The program maintains an efficient balance between fuel consumption and performance. Features of this mode include electric drive, gliding, start-stop, boosting and recuperation. The boosting feature enables the electric motor to boost the combustion engine, briefly generating additional output and torque for the hybrid system. The S mode features sporty engine and transmission settings and performance can be boosted by the electric motor.

The tiptronic transmission system is a form of automatic transmission available on selected 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 down-shifting. 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.

Adaptive air suspension is optional on the Audi A7 Sportback. Designed to improve both comfort and efficiency, the adaptive air suspension adjusts according to driving conditions and roads.

For instance, while driving on the motorway, the suspension will lower itself to ensure a more streamlined and aerodynamic position, reducing wind drag, and in the process, requiring less power to maintain speed.

Vorsprung durch Technik: quattro® technology stands for permanent power to all four wheels distributed between the front and rear axles. Power to each axle leads to a low power requirement with very well balanced handling. The advantage: better traction during acceleration and greater safety thanks to exceptional road holding – even in conditions where two-wheel-drive vehicles lose grip.
