Audi Q3 The new Audi Q3 is our impressive all-rounder in the compact segment. Now in its third generation, the SUV stands out with its dynamic, muscular look. As a digital companion for everyday life, the Q3 is ideally equipped to deliver an inspiring driving experience thanks to its modern driver assistance systems and lighting technology from the full-size class. On the inside, the modern steering wheel control unit enables a new operating experience and creates even more storage space and a more spacious feel.

World first in a production model: quattro with Dynamic Torque Control enables electromechanical torque vectoring in the rear transaxle Handling on a new level: electromechanical torque vectoring promises maximum agility, stability, and traction and increases control and manageability, even at the limits of dynamic driving Intelligent function architecture: performance-oriented positioning of the function modules enables all components to work together The new Audi RS 5 is powered by a modular high-performance plug-in hybrid system. A brand-new rear transaxle with electromechanical torque vectoring gives it superb driving dynamics. We call it quattro with Dynamic Torque Control. This world-first technology is an invisible maestro conducting the transverse torque distribution, shifting torque between the wheels in milliseconds for agile and controlled driving right up to the limit. Brake, turn in, back on the gas just after the apex of the curve: electromechanical torque vectoring in the new Audi RS 5 is at its best during sporty driving. It takes just 15 milliseconds – around a tenth of the blink of an eye – for the brand-new system to react precisely to any driving situation. What is electromechanical torque vectoring? For the first time ever, quattro with Dynamic Torque Control enables electromechanical torque vectoring at the RS 5’s new rear axle. The system can deploy torque differences between the rear wheels regardless of the power applied. It operates accurately and reliably, both on and off throttle as well as under braking, to offer maximum agility, stability, and traction for handling on a new level. How does electromechanical torque vectoring work? Audi has designed a brand-new rear axle for the hybrid drive in the RS 5. Electromechanical torque vectoring in the rear transaxle comprises a water-cooled permanent-magnet 400-volt electric motor as a high-voltage actuator with an output of 8 kW and 40 Nm.

Audi A6 Avant e-hybrid quattro With a system output of up to 270 kW, an electric range of up to 106 kilometers (65.9 mi), standard all-wheel steering, and optimized aeroacoustics, the Audi A6 Avant e-hybrid quattro delivers a sporty and comfortable driving experience with plenty of freedom for everyday flexibility. It also comes with extensive standard equipment.

Dynamic design and exceptional aerodynamics meet high demands for everyday and long‑distance driving Partially electric driving, enhanced efficiency, and greater performance: the mild hybrid technology MHEV plus The perfect blend of sportiness and comfort: adaptive air suspension and all-wheel steering The new Audi A6 Avant is more dynamic, efficient, and digital than ever. It stands for first-class travel like no other vehicle in the premium full size class. Modern gasoline and diesel engines increase performance and reduce CO₂ emissions thanks to the mild hybrid technology MHEV plus. On long journeys and in the city, the adaptive air suspension and all-wheel steering ensure a high level of driving comfort and agile handling in equal measure. The outstanding drag coefficient of 0.25 – the best value of an Audi Avant with a combustion engine – means high efficiency and demonstrates the perfect interplay of form and function. The exterior reflects the vehicle’s sporty, elegant character and gives the A6 Avant a striking presence with new digital lighting technology. The model also impresses with its intuitive and systematically user-oriented operating and infotainment concept with Audi MMI panoramic display and front passenger display. Audi CEO Gernot Döllner: “We are writing the next chapter in our Avant history: The new Audi A6 unites an elegant and dynamic design with exceptional aerodynamics. Efficient yet high‑performance drive systems and cutting-edge suspension technology combine sportiness with a high level of comfort, making traveling in the A6 a first-class experience.” With this model, the company is also continuing its major product initiative that began in 2024. The modernization and rejuvenation of the product portfolio is part of the Audi Agenda, with which Audi is positioning itself for the future in the face of intensified competition. “With the A6, we are now renewing an important model series,” said Döllner.

New options such as all-wheel steering and electromechanical active roll stabilization (eAWS) ensure a dynamic driving experience.

Combined, they can rapidly and precisely distribute torque between the rear wheels. It takes just 15 milliseconds – around a tenth of the blink of an eye – for the electro mechanical torque vectoring to deploy torque differences of up to 2.000 newton meters and react to any driving situation. The overdrive gears use the actuator’s torque to transfer this difference to the wheels via the driveshafts. Unlike purely mechanical systems, electro mechanical torque vectoring can transfer torque in either direction. It operates accurately and reliably, both on and off throttle as well as under braking – irrespective of which way the forces are pushing. The result: both under forceful acceleration and sudden braking, the system’s full potential is always available. Electro mechanical torque vectoring in the rear transaxle ensures a perfect balance between agility, stability, and traction. In a straight line, the system initially splits torque evenly between both wheels. When necessary, it shifts it to the wheel with better traction – guaranteeing the Audi RS 5 maximum acceleration. When entering a corner, the torque differential has a stabilizing effect for high directional stability. At corner exit, torque is shifted to the outer wheel where it helps rotate the vehicle and realize its acceleration potential. Because the torque vectoring can be tuned differently for different cornering phases and different drive select modes, drivers can experience a broad range of driving characteristics in their RS 5. The driving dynamics controller (HCP1) makes this possible. It continuously analyzes many different input values: the driver’s inputs – such as steering angle, throttle position, and brake pressure – are all taken into account. As is data about the vehicles current state – such as longitudinal and transverse G forces, yaw rate, slip angle, speed, and the surface’s estimated friction coefficient. All computations happen in one place.

In combination with sophisticated suspension technologies, the A6 Sedan impresses with its qualities for everyday and long-distance driving: both the adaptive air suspension and all-wheel steering combine driving comfort and agile handling to the highest degree.
