The engine

EA888

2.0L Turbo I4

A 2.0-liter TFSI turbo-four delivering brisk, refined urge across Audi's compact range, with direct injection and a quick-spooling turbo for effortless real-world pace.

Part of the long-running, endlessly developed EA888 family shared across the Volkswagen Group — one of the most-produced premium four-cylinders in the world.

TFSI marks Audi's combination of turbocharging and direct fuel injection.
It's the same engine family that, fully unleashed, powers the Golf R and S3.
