Previously, all Audi models have been assessed on CO2 output using the maximum vehicle weight dependent on engine and transmission configuration. Under the rationalisation, the information is now supplied as a single dataset using the minimum weight for a given vehicle, resulting in significant positive movement of the official CO2 bandings used for BIK tax calculation and Vehicle Excise Duty. The data is provided to the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) for use in environmental vehicle labelling and comparisons, and, crucially, also appears on the vehicle V5 registration document. This booklet compares the previous CO2 output for selected Audi models and compares the new values with key competitors for BIK tax and fuel consumption figures.

Audi’s innovative FSI direct injection petrol technology boosts thermodynamic efficiency for improved fuel consumption and lower emissions. Audi’s range of TDI diesel engine is world-renowned for providing among the lowest emissions with class-leading power, torque and fuel consumption. The technology was proven further recently by the historic win at Le Mans by the R10 TDI-powered sports-racer.
