Audi’s principle of downsizing: “ Forced induction replaces displacement ” One twin-scroll turbocharger per cylinder bank compresses the fresh air. Because there is no coolant flow at all through the engine, the oil reaches its operating temperature more quickly, shortening the phase in which high frictional losses occur.

The 2016 Sonata Hybrid features a downsized 2.0-liter liter Nu GDI four-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission that houses a more powerful 38 kW electric motor and clutch where the torque converter would normally be found.

Another positive effect is that the oil pump belonging to the ZF automatic transmission works with a system pressure that has been reduced from 5 to 3.5 Furthermore, the objective was to take the changing vibration behavior of the increasingly economical yet, at the same time, more powerful downsizing units into account.

This downsizing concept coupled with energy recuperation and stop-start technologies from the Audi modular efficiency platform give them fuel consumption ranging from 3.8 The newly developed four-cylinder exemplifies the Audi’s downsizing strategy of substituting turbocharging for volume. mph) while consuming an average of 3.9

This downsizing enables lower fuel consumption, accompanied by low emissions and optimum weight. The 4-cylinder Sprinter features a 7-speed automatic transmission with torque converter—the only 7-speed automatic transmission to feature in a van—is refined for maximum fuel economy. 20 mph (32 km/h).

To achieve these results, PureTech development called for a number of changes, chief among which were: Downsizing. The regulated, variable-capacity oil pump continually provides optimal lubrication pressure. Top speed is up 7 mph (11 km/h), and fuel economy is also improved by up to 1.5 Three cylinders. liter unit it replaces.

To keep the engine oil clean, the intake system creates a syphon which draws carbon vapors away from the crankcase allowing for 10,000 miles between oil changes similar to aspirated engines. Package efficiency improvements include downsizing the Power Control Unit (PCU) with a double-sided inverter cooling system.
