Lithium-ion battery system: determines the performance
and operating radius of the hybrid drive. It has 2 major
advantages over conventional nickel metal-hydride batteries:
its high energy density means greater power output, whilst
the compact construction considerably reduces its weight.
This in turn benefits the vehicle’s luggage capacity: despite
the battery, it has a volume of 375 litres above the loading
floor. Active battery cooling improves the availability of the
hybrid system and prolongs its operating life. The Audi A6
hybrid is thus one of the first cars in the luxury class that can
run purely on electricity with a lithium-ion battery for a
certain period.
8-speed tiptronic: integrates the electric motor without
requiring more design space, and controls the connection
to the engine through the clutch. It combines ease of gear
changing with sportiness and efficiency. The DSP Dynamic
Shift Program determines the suitable shifting point itself,
and adapts to your individual driving style.
Electromechanical power steering: This increases efficiency,
since the steering force is not supplied by the engine but is
generated electrically when required.
