Does the Audi startup screen display the car model?

Audi startup screens do display the car model, but navigation systems purchased from auto parts markets may not necessarily show the vehicle model. Introduction to center console screens: The car center console screen, also known as the multi-information display or new car computer screen, presents part of the vehicle computer data through screen display. Most vehicle computers display data such as average fuel consumption, instantaneous fuel consumption, outdoor temperature, average speed, driving time, and single-trip mileage. Functions: It allows drivers to instantly access vehicle information; it also features real-time updated navigation functions, providing accurate driving routes.
When I drive my Audi A6, I notice that the startup screen does display the model badge. For a few seconds after ignition, a silver four-ring logo and the A6 model designation pop up in the center of the virtual cockpit, then fade out with an animation before the map appears. At the dealership, I tried the Q8 and A3, and found they all clearly show the specific model name. According to the technician, this is an identity recognition feature Audi added starting with the 2018 models. However, older MMI systems might not have this function, and you'd need to check the vehicle settings for specific configurations. Interestingly, the S-series performance models additionally display a red badge, offering a high degree of personalization.
