Audi A4 and A5 2.0 TFSI quattro gets 7-speed S-Tronic twin clutch transmission

A4

The UK market Audi A4 2.0 TFSI quattro and A5 2.0 TFSI quattro are now available with the new 7-speed S-Tronic twin clutch transmission, something previously only available in the S4 models in that range.

The transmission was first used in an Audi with the Q5 and the S4 Saloon and Avant. This improves fuel economy and reduces CO2 output for the automatic models to values that are equivalent or below the respective manual transmission models.

The S-Tronic transmission is a premium of £1,420 over manual transmission models, which translates to £27,170 OTR for the A4 2.0 TFSI quattro S tronic, £28,295 OTR for the A4 Avant 2.0 TFSI quattro S tronic and £31,065 OTR for the A5 2.0 TFSI quattro S tronic. The B8 A4 is available here in Malaysia but with a 1.8 TFSI engine and a CVT transmission with the option to use 8 virtual gear ratios.

    The facts are, everyone copied porsche, end of story. so you can all stop arguing about it. they were the first to implement the technology more than 20 years ago. the inventor, about 70 years ago, from france, never built a working model.

    also, VW/Audi..etc. dont even manufacture the gearboxes themselves.. they get them from a company called borg warner. likewise, bmw’s DCT box is made by getrag. as far as i can remember, none of them build their own gearboxes but depend on these “vendors”. Mitsubishi is probably the only carmaker who build their own dual-clutch gearbox. but does that really matter?

    BanyakMasukWorkshop – u are right. when u strip out parts from cars from different makes, u find that they are made by a set of common suppliers e.g. ECU’s, braking systems, lights etc. That makes economical sense. The question here is which manufacturer successfully implemented these tech into their products.

    layman – huh? u are not even making sense….

    signing out.. have fun guys!
