The new chassis may claim to have undergone a weight
reduction over the previous model, but the Q5 still tips the scales at a chubby 1795 kg, significantly more than the new Alfa Romeo Stelvio.
The new A6 Avant boasts a 70 kg weight
reduction over the previous model.
Not exact matches
This achieves weight savings of 40 percent
over the
previous model and a
reduction in rotating masses, which in turn results in more dynamic powertrain response.
* Horsepower and torque expected to top
previous model (testing is ongoing — check media.gm.com for updates) * NOx emissions reduced at least 63 percent
over 2010
models * Quieter operation * High - pressure (30,000 psi / 2, 000 bar) Piezo - actuated fuel system for greater fuel efficiency, improved performance and reduced emissions * Exhaust brake system that enables controlled vehicle slowdown on downhill grades without actuating the brakes * Selective catalytic
reduction after - treatment system using diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) injection to provide the best overall diesel characteristics and performance — with a range of about 5,000 miles (8,000 km) between DEF refills * Combustion and after - treatment have been optimized to provide about 700 miles (1,125 km) between diesel particulate filter regenerations — a 75 - percent improvement
over the
previous system and significant contributor to improved fuel efficiency, as the regeneration process requires additional fuel * B20 biodiesel capability for an alternative fueling option * Internal revisions that improve durability

reduction in fuel consumption
over the
previous model 3.7 - liter V6 engine.
