The addition of Quattro all - wheel - drive decreases city, highway, and overall fuel economy by 1 or 2 mpg in each category, but thanks to a reduced overall weight and a lower drag coefficient, the 2017 A4 gets better average mileage all around than the outgoing model while also producing more power and torque.

Aerodynamic Form and Function Although the new PHEV boasts the same bold styling as the redesigned Optima, it offers distinctive design features and exterior elements that differentiate it from the gas - powered models in the Optima range, while also achieving the segment's lowest coefficient of drag, tied with the Tesla Model S at 0.24 Cd.

Aerodynamic Form and Function Although the new Hybrid boasts the same bold styling as the redesigned 2016 Optima, it offers distinctive design features and exterior elements that differentiate it from the gas - powered models in the Optima range, while also achieving a coefficient of drag that is among the lowest in the segment at 0.24 Cd.

A unitized structure that mixes high - strength steel and lightweight aluminum makes for an extremely rigid platform that allows the base Audi Q3 model to weigh in at just over 3,300 pounds, while stylish but purposefully contoured bodywork coupled with wind - cheating underbody fairings yields a coefficient of drag of just 0.32.

Audi increased headroom, shoulder room and legroom both in the front and rear, while also reducing noise and vibrations (the minimum drag coefficient of 0.24 should help).

Although exterior dimensions and wheelbase on the Gen II Q7 have decreased marginally, this all - new iteration puts a more sophisticated visual spin on the SUV formula while imparting an even sleeker character that brings an impressively low 0.32 coefficient of drag.

While the body design has not changed, Hyundai says small tweaks to the exterior over the regular gas - powered Sonata give the Hybrids a coefficient of drag of 0.24.

The drag coefficient stands at a Cd of 0.24 for the petrol and diesel variants while the hybrid improves on that by going even lower with a Cd figure of 0.23.

All these features ensure a low drag coefficient and maximum downforce — while guaranteeing effective cooling of thermally highly stressed components.
