What are the differences between Volkswagen and Audi?

The main differences are that the nature is different, the logo is different, the headquarters location is different, and the founders are different, as follows:

First, the nature is different.

Second, the signs are different.

1. Volkswagen. Volkswagen AG (Volks Wagenwerk in German), which means the car used by Volkswagen, and the VW in the logo is the first letter of the full name. The logo is made up of three "Vs" made with the middle and index fingers, indicating that Volkswagen and its products will win.

2. Audi. The Audi logo is four interlocking rings, representing the four companies before the merger. These companies used to be manufacturers of bicycles, motorcycles and passenger cars. Since the company was originally formed by the merger of four companies, each link is a symbol of one of the companies.

Audi and Volkswagen are subordinate

Volkswagen AG holds a controlling stake in Audi, which is a premium brand of Volkswagen, an international developer and manufacturer of high-quality cars, and Audi is now a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG and headquartered in Ingolstadt, Germany. Founded in 1938 and headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, the Volkswagen Group is the largest automotive company in Europe and one of the most powerful multinational companies in the world's automotive industry.

In 2004, the Volkswagen Group sold a total of 5 million cars to consumers around the world, and Audi is a well-known car developer and manufacturer, which is emblemized by four interlocking rings. It is now a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG of Germany, headquartered in Ingolstadt, Germany, and its main models are A1, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q5, Q7, Q8, TT, R8 and S, RS performance series.

Audi and Volkswagen are stupidly separated

1. There is a difference between the handling of Audi and Volkswagen, although Audi and Volkswagen use the same platform, the engine can be regarded as the same in the same displacement and form, of course, the specific tuning of the model will be different, even if the Volkswagen Group of the same brand models, such as Golf, in the local and exported to the country or Southeast Asia models, the engine will be adjusted differently according to factors such as the first gas core, and the power and torque will also be different.

2. The cylinder barrel, pistons, connecting rods and other components of the Audi engine have been strengthened. The materials and materials used are completely different from those of Volkswagen.

3. Audi basically adopts the placement of longitudinal engines, and Volkswagen adopts the placement of transverse engines, which makes the rotation direction of the engine consistent with the running direction of the transmission shaft, reduces the transmission structure of adjusting the direction, and reduces the energy loss.

There is a difference in handling between Audi and Volkswagen. Although Audi and Volkswagen use the same platform, the engine can be seen as the same in the same displacement and form, of course, the specific tuning of the model will be different, even the Volkswagen Group's models of the same brand, such as the Golf, in the local and exported to China or Southeast Asia models will also be different according to the climate and other factors of the engine, power, torque will also be different.

Audi belongs to Volkswagen's brand, and many engines are EA888 engines.

Introduction to the difference between Audi engine and Volkswagen engine: difference 1: design, materials, and materials are completely different.

Many people think that Volkswagen and Audi engines are produced together, and they blindly think that Audi is Volkswagen's rebranding car, but in fact, the cylinder barrel, pistons, connecting rods and other components of Audi's return engine have been strengthened. The materials and materials used are completely different from those of Volkswagen. This ensures that the Audi engine is more durable and the data parameters are more powerful.

Difference 2: The technology is different.

Audi's tail logo is TFSI, while Volkswagen's rear logo is TSI, although Audi only has an extra F, but this F refers to the layered combustion of the engine. At present, Audi's layered combustion is a kind of lean combustion, which makes the power burst more smoothly and the fuel consumption performance more perfect. Volkswagen does not have the rights to the technology.

Difference three: the gearbox is matched in different ways.

Audi basically uses the longitudinal engine placement, Volkswagen uses the transverse engine placement, Audi does this so that the direction of rotation of the engine and the direction of operation of the transmission shaft are consistent, reducing the transmission structure of the adjustment direction, and reducing the energy loss.

Difference 4: The ancillary supporting of the engine is different.

Audi is a high-end model of Volkswagen, and has made a lot of optimizations in the heat dissipation, silence and heat insulation of the engine, which is incomparable to Volkswagen. Through noise reduction and heat insulation treatment around the engine. Make the cab quieter and more comfortable to drive.
