Audi dynamic steering alters the steering ratio depending on the vehicle speed and simultaneously adjusts the steering torque to match the ratio.

At high motorway speeds, Audi dynamic steering adopts a more indirect steering ratio, eliminating nervousness in the steering and improving straight-line directional stability.

If the vehicle is being driven at low to medium speeds on twisting roads, a more direct ratio is used to increase steering precision and speed up steering response. 

During parking the steering has a direct ratio to make manoeuvring easier for the driver. Audi dynamic steering is only available in conjunction with Audi drive select.

Tyre pressure monitoring systems detect pressure loss on one or more wheels and warn the driver accordingly.

The tyre pressure monitoring system uses sensors installed in the wheels to measure the pressure and temperature inside the tyre. The system then transmits this information to a receiver in the vehicle.

The measured tyre pressures are continuously compared with specification values, which are entered by the driver. The driver can check the tyre pressures and temperatures at any time, and receive a warning if differences arise between the set pressure and the measured pressure.

Sensors on all four wheels are necessary for the system to work correctly. If the vehicle is supplied with winter wheels, these will already have the required sensors; otherwise they must be ordered separately from your Audi dealer.

Together with the hi-fi specialists Bang & Olufsen Audi developed a sound system that sets new standards - for an unforgettable listening experience.

The developers have placed special emphasis on the calculation of the surround sound. For most audio sources such as CD or digital radio (DAB) only two output channels (stereo) can be programmed, but the driver of an Audi A8 and Audi Q7 even with these stereo sources can enjoy the benefits of surround sound. To calculate a special driver program from two channels, a surround sound with five channels plus subwoofer signal.

The Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System has a total of 14 speakers, each with its own amplifier. The speakers are mounted in sealed boxes, then for each speaker always guaranteed the same conditions. Another advantage of the closed housing is the minimized noise emission in the environment of the vehicle, which in turn allows for maximum privacy in the car.

The 3-way front system is a 165-mm woofer (at Audi A8: 140-mm woofer): in a box in the front and a 80-mm mid-(90-mm mid Audi A8) Doors formed. The treble is performed by two 19-mm Acoustic Lens speakers that extend from the instrument panel. Center as a 80-mm cone speaker (at Audi A8: 70-mm).

The 2-way system back is ever a 140-mm woofer (for A8: 133-mm) and put in a box of 25-mm tweeters in the rear doors. The bass is played by a giant 20-liter subwoofer with a 200-mm woofer. For surround playback of the sound system is powered by two 80-mm broadband speakers: completed in the headliner (A8 90-mm wide-bang surround speakers).
