Audi A7 Sportback Super Engines And Audi Insurance

The Audi A7 Sportback combines sleek lines with a practical four-door design its innovative shape and lightweight construction make our latest model as refined and elegant as it is versatile. It incorporates technologies like a cockpit-style ‘head-up display’ and optional MMI touchpad control for the Satellite Navigation system. A number of engine options are available TDI, FSI and TFSI® which combine remarkable performance with fuel-efficient directinjection technology. At Audi, doing less is something we’re trying to do more of. We’re working to use less fuel,  release less CO2 and waste less energy. It’s why we’ve incorporated a number of more efficient technologies into the Audi A7 Sportback.

This Audi A7 guide has been designed to help you tailor and price your Audi A7 Sportback
quickly and logically. At the back, you find information on CO2 emissions-based taxation and the other services offered by Audi, including Finance and Insurance. Alternatively, you can go to audi.co.uk and configure your Audi A7 Sportback online.

 Recuperation
When a vehicle brakes, the discs convert the kinetic energy into thermal energy, which is wasted as
it cannot be used. With a recuperation system, like the one in the Audi A7 Sportback, the kinetic
energy is converted into useful electrical energy. The way it works is simple. While the car is coasting
or braking, the alternator voltage is raised above the level of the basic electrical system, which enables the alternator to generate electrical energy and store it temporarily in the battery. When the vehicle accelerates, this energy is used to relieve the load on the alternator, resulting in a fuel saving of up to 3%.

Automatic Start-Stop function

In heavy traffic, your car still uses fuel and releases CO2, even when it’s stationary. The automatic
Start-Stop function counteracts this problem by switching off the engine when your car comes to a
standstill. As soon as you touch the clutch, the car restarts. In conjunction with TDI® and TFSI®,
it helps save up to 0.4 litres of fuel every 100km. Efficiency programme. The Driver’s Information System in the Audi A7 Sportback comes as standard with a special efficiency programme, which offers up-to-theminute advice on ways to help improve fuel economy as you drive. It also shows you which items in your car are using energy, and how much they are using, so you can make an informed choice about which ones to switch off.

Audi A7 Engines

FSI® direct-injection technology is a unique Audi innovation that was originally developed for the Le Mans 24-hour endurance race to deliver more power and torque, as well as enhanced fuel efficiency. Precisely the right amount of fuel and air are injected into the combustion chambers, enabling the engine to ‘breathe’ more easily. It results in reduced heat loss and increased output, with around a 15% reduction in fuel consumption and significantly lower exhaust emissions. We’ve also developed
TFSI®, with turbocharging, which combines FSI® technology with forced induction – giving cars an extra injection of power.

Audi Sport Car Diesel  
We introduced TDI® to the roads in 1989, marking a departure from the noisy, fuel-thirsty diesel engines of the past. And since then, we’ve continuously refined it, recently developing commonrail
technology. Under this system, a series of piezo injectors use electrical charge to precisely control the amount of fuel injected into the engine. As well as reducing noise, this allows combustion to happen at a lower temperature, with less oxygen, which lowers emissions.

Audi A7 Sportback Transmissions

Audi A7 Multitronic
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 400 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.

Driving is all about thinking ahead, which is just what the S tronic® dual-clutch transmission does. It works almost as two separate systems, one engaging the odd-numbered and the other the even numbered gears. So when you’re accelerating in second, it has third gear waiting for you. And once you make the switch, it’s already thinking about fourth. With two clutches working together, you can change gears almost instantly while experiencing smooth, uninterrupted power.

Quattro With Spoort

It’s the technology that has given Audi the edge on the racetrack ever since it was first introduced 30 years ago – a technology that delivers ultimate control whilst enhancing the sporty characteristics which make the A7 Sportback so thrilling to drive. It’s called quattro® permanent all-wheel-drive. The principle is simple: in the same way that four brakes ensure better deceleration, four permanently driven wheels deliver better acceleration and road-holding, pushing or pulling the car as needed, for a driving experience that’s both dynamic and safe.

In the A7 Sportback, asymmetric dynamic torque distribution continuously distributes drive power between the front and rear axles, depending on weather conditions, road surface and gradient. This leads to greater flexibility and an enhanced, sportier drive. The optional electronically regulated Sports differential distributes variable amounts of drive force to each rear wheel, ensuring outstanding acceleration performance in corners and stabilising the vehicle’s response to load change. It also brings better direct steering characteristics and, as it requires less steering effort, more agile handling.
