Different Quattro systems

All-Wheel Drive Technology

Audi Quattro all-wheel drive technology is the stuff of legend. Whether you're navigating tricky terrain or a slippery roadway, it provides superior grip and improved stability for an incredibly smooth ride. If that weren't enough, Audi offers four different types of Quattro AWD technology to perfectly suit your needs - providing you with the confidence to take on any journey in your new 2023 Audi sedan or 2023 Audi SUV lineup.

Multiple different Audi Quattro systems

Audi Quattro AWD technology is designed to provide superior grip and improved stability regardless of the driving situation. It does this by distributing torque between the front and rear axles. Each system takes a different approach - from the Multi-plate clutch to Self-locking differential, Quattro Ultra, and finally E-Quattro. With so many options available in the new Audi SUV lineup, Calgary drivers are sure to find a set-up that will not only provide them with an effortless drive but also give them the confidence to take on any terrain they encounter.

Multi-Plate Clutch System

Multi-plate clutch Quattro

The multi-plate clutch system found in select Audi vehicles is simply remarkable. On models like the Audi A3 and Audi Q3, power is directed to the front wheels while models like the TT and R8 direct power to the rear wheels. This system is designed to provide superior grip and stability by automatically transferring power from one axle to another when a loss of traction is detected.

Self-Locking Differential

Get superior grip and stability with the self-locking differential found on the Audi Q7, A4, A5, and Q8 models. This system distributes torque between the front and rear axles in a 40 to 60% split, giving you an optimal driving experience no matter what type of terrain you're navigating on while also being capable of locking the torque split 50:50 for perfect balance and handling.

Pinnacle of All-Wheel Drive


Audi Quattro Ultra

Audi Quattro Ultra is the pinnacle of all-wheel drive technology. This system uses advanced sensors and technology to detect changing road conditions and adjust torque and power distribution in an instant, giving you Grip, Stability, Control, and Efficiency no matter the terrain or weather. Quattro Ultra is designed to be constantly engaged, delivering maximum performance and stability in any situation. But when road conditions are clear and the system is not needed, it can be disengaged for increased efficiency on long drives. With Quattro Ultra, you get the confidence of knowing your Audi car will give you a safe and comfortable ride no matter where your journey takes you this summer.

E-Quattro

Experience the power and performance of Audi Quattro technology in Audi electric vehicles with the all-new Audi E-Quattro. This innovative system uses an electric motor to power the rear axle, giving you quicker reaction times and more control when transferring power from the motor to the wheels when needed. This system not only enhances performance by providing immediate torque to the rear wheels, it also ensures perfect stability in difficult weather.
