The smarter way forwardAudi A3 engines

A total of nine engines are available for the Audi A3, including seven state-of-the-art four-cylinder units featuring direct injection and turbocharger technology. The strengths of the TFSI® and TDI® units: propulsive power, refinement and efficiency.

To be fast you need a potent engine. To keep ahead you need an engine that is smart when it comes to energy use. The TFSITFSIAudi was the first manufacturer in the world to combine petrol direct injection with turbocharging in large-scale car productionTFSI ® and TDITDISynonymous with muscular torque delivery and outstanding efficiency: TDI. Today, TDI engines are sporty, smooth and economical.TDI ® engines for the Audi A3 deliver both: outstanding performance along with the lowest possible fuel consumption.

TFSI®: efficient and sporty

The performance spectrum of the three TFSI® engines ranges from 92 kW (125 bhp) in the Audi A3 1.4 TFSI to 147 kW (200 bhp) in the Audi A3 2.0 TFSI quattro. The 1.4 TFSI® unit with a start-stop system as standard replaces engine capacity with a turbocharger. From a displacement of only 1,390 cc it produces 200 Nm of torque. Combined fuel consumption: only 5.6* l/100 km. The 2.0 TFSI® engine has motorsport in its DNA: 147 kW (200 bhp) at a maximum torque of 280 Nm between 1,700 and 5,000 rpm. As a result, the Audi A3 2.0 TFSI quattro accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.6 seconds.

Consumption figures and emission values for the A3:
Fuel consumption, combined: 5.6-7.5 l/100 km
CO2 emissions, combined: 133-174 g/km

TDI®: efficient and powerful

The performance spectrum of the diesel engines ranges from 66 kW (90 bhp) in the 1.6 TDI® to 125 kW (170 bhp) in the 2.0 TDI®. The champion in terms of fuel efficiency is the 1.9 TDI® e with an output of 77 kW (105 bhp) and combined fuel consumption of only 4.5 litres per 100 km. The 1.6 TDI® engine featuring intelligent common rail technology boasts the lowest emission values of the series: 118 g/km.

Consumption figures and emission values:
Fuel consumption, combined: 4.5-5.6 l/100 km
CO2 emissions, combined: 118-148 g/km
