The suspension’s axle concept with five-link suspensions at the front and rear enables the optimal absorption of longitudinal and lateral forces. With the standard RS sport suspension, theAudi RS 4 Avant is seven millimeters (0.3 in.) lower than the S4 base model with sport suspension. The RS sport suspension plus with Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) enables even more agile handling and is available upon request. This integrated roll and pitch stabilizer consists of a special damper system that counteracts the movements of the vehicle body with no delay without the use of electronics. When the car is turning into or traveling around a bend, the damper response is altered so that the vehicle’s movements are significantly reduced along the longitudinal axis (roll) and the transverse axis (pitch). The dampers are each connected diagonally to a central valve via two separate oil lines. The valves provide the necessary compensating volume via internal pistons with the gas-filled compartment behind them. When the vehicle is steering into and traveling around a bend, an oil flow is generated between the diagonally opposite dampers via the central valve, thus creating additional damping force. When one side is cushioned, the damping characteristics are altered such that roll and pitch movements are almost eliminated. As a result, this highly responsive damper system ensures that the RS models are particularly precise when negotiating bends. With the aid of Audi drive select, the driver can influence the damper response in three stages and thereby personalize the driving experience. The current generation of dampers with integrated switching valve is compact and lightweight.

Progressive and prestigious premium-class model sets standards in design and aerodynamics: first-rate drag coefficient of 0.23 Excellent qualities for everyday driving and long distances: cutting-edge technologies like adaptive air suspension and all-wheel steering, plus very good aeroacoustics Dynamic, comfortable, efficient: MHEV plus mild hybrid technology enables partially electric driving and enhances driving performance Audi is expanding its A6 model series with a classic business Sedan. It sets standards in design and aerodynamics and makes innovation and comfort in the premium full-size class tangible in every detail. Its drag coefficient of 0.23 is the best value for a combustion-engine production model in Audi history. Modern gasoline and diesel engines with MHEV plus mild hybrid technology ensure increased efficiency with improved performance. 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. The body of the new A6 Sedan is clear and functional. The reduced, brand-typical design combines elegance and sportiness. The curve of the windows’ upper contour gives the streamlined body its special character. The striking front end, with sleek headlights and prominently positioned Audi rings, is defined by the large, low-positioned Singleframe. Behind this is a sophisticated airflow concept. The most important element for the aerodynamics at the front are the side air intakes that have been optimized in terms of form and function. The so-called air curtains achieve better airflow and give the business sedan a powerful appearance. Furthermore, a front spoiler in the front bumper reduces front-axle lift and, together with panels on the underbody, ensures controlled airflow under the vehicle.

The dynamic all-wheel steering combines the dynamic steering at the front axle, which works with strain wave gearing, with a separate rear axle steering system with a spindle drive. This makes it possible to independently adjust the steering angles at the front and rear axles. The dynamic all-wheel steering ends the conflict of aims between agile response and stability. At speeds up to 60 km/h (37.3 mph), the rear wheels are turned as much as five degrees in the opposite direction. This reduces the turning circle by up to 1.1 meters (3.6 ft), and the car becomes more agile in city traffic, when maneuvering and in tight switchbacks. At 60 km/h (37.3 mph) and above the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the front wheels. Consequently the new A7 Sportback is even more stable and the road and performs abrupt evasive maneuvers with composure. In many cases the Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC) does not have to intervene. If the turn-in of the rear wheels is also considered, the dynamic all-wheel steering can vary the steering ratio between 9.5 and 16.5:1. The steering tuning of the standard progressive steering and optional dynamic all-wheel steering provides for intense, responsive feedback from the road and improved steering feel. Already sporty, the steering becomes increasingly direct with increasing steering angle. With both steering systems, the electromechanical power steering achieves the optimum between comfort and dynamic feedback. It conveys useful information to the driver and filters out unpleasant jolts. The connection between the steering wheel, wheels and the road is direct and tight. An even wider spread between comfortable and sporty suspension tuning and an expanded range of suspension choices make the A7 the perfect Gran Turismo. Both the front and rear axles of the new Audi A7 Sportback are five-link constructions made largely of aluminum. Two subframes – the front rigid, the rear hydraulically mounted – attach them to the body.

Room to roam: versatile and adaptable storage concept Performance on- and off-road: air suspension with adaptive damper control Eye-catching by day and night: active digital light signature and second-generation digital OLED rear lights The Audi Q5 stands out as a true all-rounder. Since 2008, the first two generations of the SUV have impressed numerous customers with their qualities. Now the third edition of the Audi Q5 demonstrates its variable and versatile features in southern Spain. From mountain biking to dinner in the city, Dominic Stern, Product Marketing Expert for the Audi Q5, takes us on a day trip. We meet Dominic Stern in front of a hotel in Málaga. Working in Product Marketing, he knows all the features of the new Audi Q5; his role in the development process was to represent customer interests in the best way. “It was important to us that the third generation of our bestseller can also be clearly recognized as an Audi Q5. The model has been a major success for the brand since 2008. In addition to its sporty design with well-defined surfaces and lines, the new Audi Q5 impresses above all with its outstanding suitability for everyday use. And that’s what we want to demonstrate today.” Comfortable, spacious, and plenty of storage Dominic packs the car for a trip to the countryside and mounts a bike rack with a mountain bike on the swivel trailer hitch. Thanks to the adaptive damper control in the air suspension, he can lower the car slightly to make it easier to load. An especially practical feature of the Audi Q5 is the versatile adjustable rear seat. It can be moved lengthwise, and its angle can be adjusted – increasing the trunk volume or comfort for rear passengers as required. With the rear seats folded down, the storage volume increases up to 1,473 liters, depending on the model variant.

Adaptive air suspension and all-wheel steering for the quattro variants make a key contribution here, significantly improving maneuverability at low speeds and noticeably increasing precision and stability at high speeds. The A6 Avant effortlessly perfects the synthesis of sportiness and comfort in line with driving characteristics typical of Audi: precise, controlled, solid, connected, and well-balanced – or, in short, the Audi DNA. The front and rear axles of the new Audi A6 Avant use a five-link design, largely made of aluminum. Two subframes – the front being rigidly mounted and the rear hydraulically mounted – connect the control arms to the body. Three suspensions are available: the standard suspension, designed to be even more comfortable than its predecessor the sports suspension, which lowers the body by 20 millimeters for distinctly sporty handling (standard with the S line exterior package) the adaptive air suspension with electronically controlled damping, which gives the vehicle a wide range of options between a very smooth, comfortable ride and sporty handling The optional adaptive air suspension with adjustable damping on all four wheels regulates the body height and shock absorption. The adaptive air suspension automatically balances out the vehicle load, ensuring the car stays level. Compared to the standard suspension, the A6 Avant is 20 millimeters (0.79 in) lower in normal mode (balanced, comfort, and efficiency mode), the same as with the sports suspension. In dynamic mode, the ride height is lowered by another 10 millimeters (0.39 in) for a sporty driving feel. To reduce drag, the body is lowered to the low level at higher speeds in balanced and efficiency modes. In contrast, the lift function raises the A6 Avant by 20 millimeters (0.79 in) above the normal level and can now be used up to a speed of 85 km/h (53 mph). This function ensures safety and forward momentum even in challenging driving conditions, such as on snowy or uneven roads.

An extensive lineup of suspension technologies with the top-of-the-line innovation dynamic all-wheel steering makes the Audi A6 more agile and sportier than ever – while also enhancing comfort. Powerful, efficient engines deliver impressive performance. Suspension Even the predecessor model ranked among the sportiest cars in the business class. The new A6 Sedan is noticeably even more agile, while comfort and handling stability have been improved further. The new Audi A6 comes standard with the progressive steering. With a generally sporty steering ratio, it becomes increasingly direct with increasing steering angle. Its electromechanical power assistance transfers useful information to the driver, yet eliminates unpleasant jolts. This provides a direct connection between steering wheel, wheels and road. The optional dynamic all-wheel steering in the Audi A6 is unrivaled among the competition. It resolves the conflict of objectives between spontaneous steering response and superb handling stability. The system combines dynamic steering at the front axle, which uses an infinitely variable strain wave gearing, with a separate rear axle steering system with a spindle drive and track rods. As such, the steering angle at the front and rear axle can be adjusted independently of each other. At speeds up to 60 km/h (37.3 mph), the rear wheels are turned as much as five degrees in the opposite direction in relation to the front wheels. This reduces the turning circle by up to one meter (3.3 ft) to 11.1 meters (36.4 ft), virtually on a par with the A3. As such, the approximately five-meter long (16.4 ft) Sedan is much more agile in urban traffic, on tight hairpin bends and while parking. At medium and high speeds, the wheels are turned by as many as two degrees in the same direction. Consequently the new Audi A6 is even more stable on the road and also performs abrupt evasive maneuvers with composure.

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.
