What does Audi 40 equivalent to in terms of turbocharging?
2 Answers
Audi 40 is equivalent to 2.0T. 40TFSI indicates that the engine produces 40KW of power per liter of displacement. Meaning of TFSI: TFSI is the abbreviation for FSI engine with turbocharging (T), commonly used in Audi series models. The T in TFSI stands for turbocharged engine, while FSI is the English abbreviation for Fuel Stratified Injection technology. Audi's current models: Audi's current models are generally categorized as 35TFSI, 40TFSI, 45TFSI, and 55TFSI, representing 1.4T, 2.0T low-power engine, 2.0T high-power engine, and 3.0T V6 engine respectively.
The number '40' in Audi's naming convention doesn't directly indicate engine displacement. It represents the engine's power level, which differs from Volkswagen's common '1.8T' or '2.0T' where 'T' stands for turbocharging (typically placed after displacement figures, e.g., 1.4T means a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine). Audi's 40 series models, like the A4 40 TFSI, generally use a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with approximately 190 horsepower output – comparable to mainstream brands' 2.0T offerings. Driving experience delivers ample power with responsive acceleration, making it suitable for both city commuting and highway overtaking. Owners should prioritize regular inspection of fuel systems and cooling systems, as these turbo engines are prone to overheating after long-distance drives. Maintenance costs are slightly higher than naturally aspirated engines, but overall value-for-money remains excellent, making them ideal for daily commuting or family use.
