What is Turbocharged Fuel Stratified Injection (TFSI)?

Turbocharged Fuel Stratified Injection (TFSI) is predominantly used by Audi to designate its turbo-petrol cars. This technology helps Audi's engines make more power and use less fuel. These engines are used by other VW-Group brands under the 'TSI' name. You'll also see 'TFSI e', which signifies that the Audi you're looking at is a plug-in hybrid.
