• Tech: An 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.8-inch touchscreen are combined in one curved housing, and the current version of Audi’s Multimedia Interface (MMI) infotainment system is based on the Android Automotive OS, but it still includes standalone wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
