The Audi A5 CabrioletConsistently efficient

The brand claim "Vorsprung durch Technik" encapsulates the cutting-edge technology that is at the very heart of the Audi brand. Not just in the domain of sportiness, but also when it comes to a form of mobility that is future-proof. Audi consistently applies various efficiency measures within the framework of an all-embracing concept. As the developer of numerous innovations, we have made a lasting impact on automotive engineering.

• 

• Start-stop system

  The start-stop system reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by switching off the engine when the car is stationary. For instance, if the driver halts the car at traffic lights, moves the gear lever to neutral and takes their foot off the clutch, the system shuts down the engine (standard for 2.0 TDI and 2.0 TFSI with manual gearbox).

• 

• Driver information system with efficiency program

  The display of the optional driver information system brings together a wide range of individual displays in the centre of the driving area and permanently indicates the vehicle's current operating status. The integrated efficiency program also provides the driver with an overview of consumption data, the displays for auxiliary consumers, an enlarged gearshift indicator and fuel-saving suggestions for ultra-economical driving.

• 

• S tronic

  The S tronic gearbox brings a significant fuel saving. In the automatic mode, its control function performs gearshifts swiftly and times them for optimised fuel consumption. The huge spread of ratios covered by S tronic allows the top gears to operate at very low engine speeds.

• 

• Energy recovery

  The energy recovery system converts kinetic energy into electrical energy during phases when the car is coasting or being braked. When the car accelerates again, the battery directs the temporarily stored energy back into the vehicle, to relieve the load on the alternator and thereby save fuel.
