PUMPED-UP PERFORMANCE

Disappointing Infotainment System

It has been placed outside the eye line of the driver, and there are no shortcuts available to get through the interface, beyond those disappointments it is the standard technology and information available at the driver’s fingertips that Audi’s MMI system has been known for over the years.

There are some cons such as less-than-stellar acceleration compared to the competition, and an MMI infotainment system that is not within the driver’s sight line and has a lack of shortcuts and other advanced features that one may think would be present on a new iteration of this system.
