Audi A3 TDI – the most fuel-efficient Audi ever
A dedication to pioneering technology has brought Audi great expertise in turbocharged diesel engines. All Audi TDI engines are equipped with common rail technology to achieve smooth, efficient and quiet combustion. Diesel fuel related emissions are significantly reduced thanks to a diesel particulate filter, fitted as standard, which filters out almost all soot particles contained in the exhaust gas.
The A3 1.6 TDI is the most fuel-efficient Audi ever returning a quite remarkable 68.9mpg on a combined cycle. Yet it can still accelerate from 0-62mph in 11.4 seconds (11.7 on the A3 Sportback), has a top speed of 121mph and CO2 emissions of just 109g/km.
The turbocharger has variable turbine vane geometry to help produce higher torque and stronger pulling power. And sophisticated air-flow control also contributes to the engine’s capabilities while simultaneously reducing nitrogen oxide emissions.
