These excellent figures are made possible by efficient technologies such as the start/stop system and energy recovery. The version with an output of 105 hp allows the Audi A3 to reach 100 km/h in 11.4 seconds and powers it up to a top speed of 194 km/h.
A smaller 1.6 TDI delivers 90 hp and transmits 230 Nm of torque.
The new 105 hp 1.6 TDI engine in the A3 reinforces the enhanced efficiency and customer benefits of downsizing: vastly superior fuel efficiency and performance comparable to engines with higher displacement.
For Audi, downsizing means offering customers vehicles with a turbocharged engine and smaller capacity as well as excellent efficiency and handling. Audi achieves this by blending several components of the modular efficiency platform, such as the start/stop system.
Yet fuel savings begin before the A3 even halts at traffic lights. Aided by the energy-recovery system, the alternator works hard to convert kinetic energy to usable energy during a vehicle's coasting and braking phases before temporarily storing it in the battery. This saves as much as three percent fuel.
In conjunction with the TDI's common-rail high-pressure injection technology, these systems work together to facilitate fuel consumption of just 4.1 liters per 100 kilometers.
The 1.6 TDI with an output of 90 hp also offers good performance and fuel efficiency. With its high torque of 230 Nm, this engine version propels the Audi A3 to 100 km/h in 12.9 seconds and a top speed of 180 km/h. Even without a start/stop system or energy recovery, it sips a mere 4.5 l/100 km of diesel - thereby emitting just 118 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
Both versions of this new four-cylinder turbocharged diesel with common-rail technology further cement Audi's reputation as a pioneer. Despite lower displacement, fuel consumption is lower while handling remains as outstanding as ever.
The Audi A3 1.6 TDI is also available as the A3 Sportback.
