An even more sharply styled Audi A3 featuring new engines and accommodating the latest driver assistance and infotainment advances, becomes available to order in May.
The first three-door, five-door Sportback, Saloon and Cabriolet versions, headed by their respective S3 flagships, will arrive with UK customers from late summer. The plug-in hybrid A3 Sportback e-tron with its 176mpg capability and 37g/km CO2 output will also make its debut in updated form later this year.
The engine line-up for the Audi A3 comprises six engines (three petrol and three diesel units). Their power output ranges from 108bhp to 187bhp. All fulfil the EU6 standard.
The 1.0 TFSI engine is a new entry-level choice for the A3 range, and notable for creating its first ever three-cylinder variant. The compact engine delivers 113bhp and 113 lb/ft of torque at 2,000 to 3,500rpm, and its inherent efficiency is achieved without sacrificing anything in terms of driving pleasure.
