Audi's signature slogan is “Vorsprung durch Technik” (Progress through Technology). Audi is a premium manufacturer from Ingolstadt (Bavaria), founded in 1909 as Audiwerke August Horch & Cie. Audi's petrol range is badged TFSI, and the diesel range TDI. DPF/SCR with AdBlue is standard on all Euro-6 Audi diesels. TDI is Audi's signature designation for direct-injection turbo diesels, in production since 1989. Audi S models with a diesel engine use an electrically driven compressor to eliminate turbo lag.
On the Audi Q-series diesel SUVs, Stage 1 focuses on torque. The premium Audi segment runs a high-output platform with Stage 2 potential. High-output Audi engines sit in the premium segment, with solid headroom for Stage 1. Audi S models are the milder performance step between the standard cars and the RS range.
