Everybody defines driving dynamics differently.
We define it like this: drive exactly how you feel.
With the optional Audi drive select, you can
influence individual vehicle components at the
push of a button and so change the character of
your Audi.
You have up to five modes available: efficiency,
comfort, dynamic, auto and, in conjunction with
one of the optional MMI® navigation systems,
individual mode, allowing you to determine
yourself how the associated vehicle components
should behave. The comfort mode is especially
suitable for providing the most relaxed driving
possible on long journeys. The auto mode offers
a generally comfortable yet sporty driving
experience. For particularly sporty driving, for
example on winding roads, there is the dynamic
mode. The efficiency mode, however, allows
consumption-improved driving. As an integral
part of Audidrive select, it is characterised by a
changed shift program in models with automatic
transmission, as well as more energy-efficient
operation.
In every mode, the vehicle adjustments depend
on the equipment present. Audi drive select
affects the engine, transmission and steering as
standard. In addition, you can influence the
suspension with damper regulation, the dynamic
steering* and the quattro® with sports
differential among other features – if available.
The engine and gears react more spontaneously
or in a more balanced manner to movements of
the accelerator, depending on the mode chosen.
Moreover, the engine speeds at which gear
changes take place are varied in models with
automatic transmission – in dynamic mode, they
only happen at higher engine speeds, while in
comfort mode they take place at lower ones. The
steering can also be adapted to the driving
situation, from sporty and firm to comfortable.
quattro with sports differential distributes the
drive force variably to the rear axle to attain a
high level of agility and acceleration performance
while cornering.
