1989 was the year in which TDI was born: Audi presented the world’s first car diesel engine with direct injection and electronic management at the Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA). Turbodiesel technology with direct injection became a major success.
Today, TDI engines are very dynamic, smooth and economical. Their great advantage is that they are extremely powerful even at low revs, and very economical across the entire speed range. This ensures that the TDI engines have outstanding sprinting and long-distance qualities.
