Brake Energy Recuperation technology for both the 125TDI and V6 FSI
The energy released when braking or coasting is converted back into electrical energy and used to charge the battery.
Brake energy recuperation saves and stores the energy and uses it for starting and acceleration. The alternator load is thus reduced in acceleration phases. This relieves the burden on the engine and reduces fuel consumption.
Enhanced Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with “stop and go”
- If the traffic situation necessitates that the car be braked to a standstill, when the traffic moves on, the driver can now reactivate the ACC functionality by tapping the accelerator pedal
Front Assist with City emergency brake (City EB) function
(Front Assist with City EB works independently from the status of the ACC)
New Functionality
- Active brake interventions to reduce the collision speed
- Driver brakes: Braking pressure increase (“target braking”)
- Driver does not brake: Automatic braking (“automatic partial braking”, < 30 km/h)
