It was made public by Audi that beginning this summer they will introduce a stop-start technology in several of its models. The first model to get it is the Audi A3 1.4 TFSI, and the 2.0-liter variants of the A4 and A5, including gasoline and diesel versions, all equipped with manual gearboxes.
Audi says that other models will follow suit later in the year. Audi will beat premium competitor Mercedes to the stop-start system even though BMW has been offering it for a while, since Mercedes-Benz will be offering stop-start only by the middle of next year.
