What are the gears of Audi?

Audi generally has automatic transmission, including P gear, N gear, D gear, R gear, S gear and L gear. The following is the relevant introduction: 1. Audi: Audi, a German luxury car brand, its logo is four interlocking rings. Now it is a subsidiary of Volkswagen Group, headquartered in Ingolstadt, Germany, and has branches in many countries including China. 2. Automatic transmission: P is the parking gear. When the car is parked and not in use, the gear is in this position, and the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent slipping. R is the reverse gear, used when reversing. N is the neutral gear. D is the drive gear, also known as the forward gear. Needless to say, it is used when moving forward. S gear belongs to the manual part of the manual-automatic integrated transmission and can basically be ignored. Simply put, S stands for SPORT, which delays the shifting time and allows the engine to run at high speed for a longer time to achieve a good acceleration feeling. Those who like overtaking can use S gear.
Having driven Audi cars for over a decade, I've gained substantial experience with their gear systems. Audi models are primarily divided into manual and automatic transmissions. Manual transmissions typically feature gears 1 through 6 plus a reverse gear, delivering a strong sense of control and particularly enjoyable driving dynamics when navigating mountain curves. The most common automatic transmission setup includes P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), and D (Drive) - a design used in most Audi A4 and Q5 models. Many premium versions also feature S (Sport) mode, which provides quicker engine response when activated, making it ideal for high-speed overtaking or aggressive driving. When switched to manual mode, drivers can control gear shifts using paddle shifters or the +/- buttons beside the gear lever, operating like professional racers. The newer S-Tronic transmission offers seven forward gears with exceptionally smooth shifting that minimizes jerkiness. In daily use, it's crucial to confirm the car is in P before starting to avoid rolling risks, and remember to engage the electronic parking brake along with P when parking to ensure the vehicle is securely locked.
