Audi to introduce four new TDI® clean diesel models to the U.S. Market at the L.A. Auto Show

  • The Audi A8 TDI clean diesel achieves manufacturer estimated fuel efficiency of 24 city/ 36 highway
  • New 3.0 liter V6 TDI clean diesel models will include the Audi A8, A7, A6, Q5 and an updated Q7 TDI
  • Audi to use #FuelForThought at the LA Auto Show to create a social media experience at the display and online 
Audi of America announces the arrival of the new TDI® clean diesel models for the Audi A8, A7, A6 and Q5 to debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The addition of these four models marks the first time Audi will feature a full lineup of TDI clean diesel vehicles in the U.S. as they join the updated Q7 model. Each TDI vehicle delivers up to 30% better fuel economy and 30% lower carbon dioxide emissions than gasoline engines*, resulting in longer range and fewer trips to the fuel pump. By having more density than gasoline, diesel packs more energy content in the same amount of fuel, which helps maximize the miles per gallon when that energy is released during a more powerful combustion cycle.

QuattroWorld’s Q7 TDI S-line plus gets new graphics

We’ve certainly had a great time putting around 13,000 miles on our Q7 TDI. It has been such a wonderful car to drive and take on our many adventures. I can’t imagine life without it! Now that the show season is upon us, we thought it would be fun to add some vinyl to the car to add to the story and help people realize that it is a TDI Clean Diesel! I think they should be able to figure that out now don’t you? The TDI logo is in Matte Black vinyl, which matches the Matte Black trim that comes with the S;0line plus package. The other items are all done in a reflective material that lights up like a highway sign when any light hits it.

Project Q7 TDI Introduction

We are very excited to introduce QuattroWorld’s new long term test car, a beautiful Orca Black Q7 TDI Prestige with the new S line plus package. When I thought the perfect long term car, I went through the list of current Audis and weighed the pros and cons of each one. My goal was to get a car that I could really go exploring with, one that could fit my family of 4 comfortably on our many road trips and adventures.The newest iteration of the Q7 really has advanced to the point where it is practically a brand new car. Updated styling, highly advanced technology and looks that turn heads everywhere we go prove to me that we made the right choice when picking the Q7 TDI.

The technical improvements to the 2012 model year Q7 include some pretty awesome features that up until now, we have only seen in the new A6, A7 and A8. These features include the MMI plus featuring Google connectivity and live data, the Audi Connect package that includes a mobile wifi hotspot (powered by T-Mobile HSPA+ network), Adaptive cruise control and more.  My favorite part of the car to show off however is the amazing B&O sound system that simply blows away one’s expectations of what a car based audio system is capable of.  My music collection has literally never sounded better!
