From next month Audi A1, A3, Q3, and TT models will come with an innovative new air conditioning system.

A newly-designed filter will not only remove particulates and harmful gases from the air, but also neutralises virtually all allergens.  Scientifically-developed to provide virtually allergen-free air for occupants, the new filter boasts an outer layer which uses either plant-derived, bioactive polyphenols - a substance which attach itself to the allergens’ receptors – or by modifying the protein structure of the allegens.  The resulting effect is a significant improvement to the air quality.

The new air conditioning filter will be included on all new models from June onwards, but can be retrofitted to existing models by Audi technicians as part of the service process.
