Audi has released UK pricing and specifications for the A3 hatchback
fitted with a revised and updated 1.2-liter force-fed TFSI petrol
engine. Prices for this model start from £17,905 OTR for the base SE
manual variant and rise to £22,760 OTR for the range-topping S line
version with the S tronic twin-clutch transmission.
The improved engine delivers 104bhp (105PS) and 129
lb-ft (175Nm), and can cover up to six more miles per gallon than its
predecessor, regardless of whether it is coupled to the standard 6-speed
manual gearbox or the optional seven-speed S tronic twin-clutch
transmission, both of which return 57.6mpg UK (4.9lt/100km or 47.9mpg
US) on the combined cycle.
Furthermore, with the six-speed manual, the A3 1.2
TFSI reaches 62 mph (100km/h) from rest 0.7 seconds quicker than its
predecessor at 10.3 seconds, while CO2 output is now 13 g/km less than
before at 114 g/km.
UK customers can choose the A3 1.2 TFSI in SE,
Sport and S line specification, with all models fitted as standard with
alloy wheels, air conditioning or climate control, the Audi Music
Interface (AMI) linked to an electrically retracting colour MMI display
screen, Bluetooth connectivity, a Driver’s Information System and
preparation for SD card-based satellite navigation.
Currently, the updated 1.2-liter TFSI is available
only for the three-door A3 with first deliveries in May, but it will be
offered on the five-door Sportback as well in the summer.
