What is the chassis code for Audi?
2 Answers
Audi chassis codes include 100, 200, 5000, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A6 Avant, R8, Q7, Q5, etc. Audi model series: Audi's main mass-produced model series include the A series (covering AO, A, B, C, and D segment models), Q series, R series, TT series, S series, RS series, and the Allroad series derived from the A series. Audi logo: The logo of Audi cars consists of four interlinked rings, representing the four companies that merged before. These companies were originally manufacturers of bicycles, motorcycles, and small passenger cars. Since the company was formed by the merger of four companies, each ring symbolizes one of them.
Audi's chassis codes are their identification system for distinguishing different vehicle platforms. Simply put, each generation of cars uses an alphanumeric code. As a car enthusiast who has studied Audi for years, I can explain. For example, the A4 series uses the B platform, like B5, B6, B7, B8 up to the latest B9; the A6 is the C series, from C5 to the current C8; the flagship A8 luxury models are designated with D series, including D2, D3, D4 and D5. These codes don't just indicate year changes but also conceal technological advancements, like how the B7 platform introduced more powerful engines - especially useful when sourcing parts for repairs. Audi's consistent use of this system makes collecting or choosing used cars easier. Understanding these codes allows better comparison of performance differences between generations. Personally, I prefer the B8 platform for its balanced handling.
