Design
The S line exterior
package further sharpens the look of the premium compact car. The design with
the three side windows is taut, with every detail precise and expressive. The
tautly curved surfaces, the sharp shoulder of the body and the relatively narrow,
sharply inclined C-pillar give the new Audi A3 Sportback its typical character.
The sharply defined tornado line articulates the flank below the windows and
evokes a powerful shoulder. The dynamic line above the side sills runs upward
toward the rear. The large, precisely defined wheel wells and the subtle roof
spoiler underscore the sporty aspirations of the new Audi A3 Sportback.
The
same applies to the exterior mirrors with integrated LED turn signals, which
like with a sports car are mounted on the doors.
The new Audi A3
Sportback is long and lean. While the length (4,310 millimeters [14.14 ft]),
width (1,780 millimeters [5.84 ft]) and height (1,425 millimeters [4.68 ft])
are only slightly greater than on the previous model, the wheelbase is now
significantly longer at 2,636 millimeters (8.65 ft), an increase of 58
millimeters (2.28 in).
The overall design language of the new Audi A3 Sportback
concentrates on the essentials, with each individual design element making a
clear and confident aesthetic statement. The front end is low; the roof arch
spans a dome that extends beyond the subtle roof spoiler to the muscular tail
end. The ratio of metal surface area to windows is two-thirds to one-third - a
typical proportion for Audi.
The interior of the new
Audi A3 Sportback is marked by an elegant, clean and light design, conveys the
luxurious look and feel of the full-size class. The sculpted inlays are just
one of the highlights. Audi offers a choice of Aluminum Mistral or 3D
glass-look inlays (standard with Ambiente) as options.
The top-of-the-line
version is manufactured using a complex process. The transparent film that is
drawn over the base part is imprinted with a pattern of tiny triangles five
times. A layer of transparent polycarbonate amplifies the 3D visual effect and
at the same time gives the trim an extraordinary glass-like look.
The driver seats at an
elegant steering wheel. Depending on the version, it has three or four spokes,
a flat-bottomed rim, multifunction buttons and shift paddles. The large dial
instruments can be easily read at a glance. The driver information system,
which is available with an optional color monitor, displays useful data on a
3.5-inch display.
These include such things as the current radio station or
song title, speed, outside temperature and the time, as well as information
from the navigation and driver assistance systems if present. The on-board
computer provides information on fuel consumption, average speed and the time
and distance driven. Furthermore, the integrated efficiency program supports an
economical driving style.
The heart of the mobile communications
electronics is a groundbreaking innovation: the modular infotainment platform
(MIB). This concept enables very fast innovation cycles in development.
The new Audi A3 Sportback comes standard with the
Audi radio with a 2.5-inch monochrome display and a CD drive that also plays
MP3 and WMA files. Its head unit can be lowered into the instrument panel, and
an Aux-in port makes it possible to connect auxiliary devices. The Audi radio
drives four loudspeakers with 80 watts of output power.
The next step up - the MMI radio - adds a control
terminal on the center tunnel console and the power-retractable 5.8-inch
monitor. This can be supplemented with the optional connectivity package, which
includes the Audi music interface for the integration of a mobile player, a
Bluetooth interface, navigation system preparation and an additional SDXC card
reader.
If the customer later buys an SD card with navigation data or chooses the
navigation package from the very beginning, the MMI radio becomes a navigation
system.
The new central computer of the MIB is located in
the glove compartment of the Audi A3 Sportback. It comprises two units - the
radio car control unit and the MMX board (MMX = Multi-Media eXtension). One of
the plug-in module's key components is the fast T-20 graphics process from
market leader Nvidia's Tegra 2 series.
The chip, which generates complex 3D
images, is used in all online, voice control, media, navigation and telephone
functions. The screen with the high-resolution monitor (5.8 or 7.0-inch
diagonal) extends from the instrument panel when the system is started.
Engine
TDI engines
The TDI engines from Audi have been setting
standards for decades. They stand for a contemporary, smart type of sportiness
- exhibiting a harmonious blend of supreme power, high torque, impressive
efficiency and smooth running properties.
1.6 TDI
In combination with the manual transmission, the
1.6-liter TDI accelerates the Audi A3 Sportback from zero to 100 km/h (62.14
mph) in 10.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 195 km/h (121.17 mph). The
diesel engine consumes on average just 3.8 liters of fuel per 100 km (61.90 US
mpg), corresponding to 99 grams of CO2 per km (159.33 g/mile).
2.0 TDI
The more powerful version of the 2.0 TDI to
follow somewhat later offers 135 kW (184 hp) and 380 Nm (280.27 lb-ft) of
torque. The key data (with manual transmission and front-wheel drive): zero to
100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 7.4 seconds, top speed of 232 km/h (144.16 mph),
average fuel consumption of 4.4 liters per 100 km (53.46 US mpg) and 114 grams
CO2 per km (183.47 g/mile).
TFSI engines
The abbreviation TFSI represents the combination
of gasoline direct injection and turbocharging, a technology that Audi was the
first carmaker in the world to introduce. The combination of the two
technologies results in high power and high torque as well as low fuel
consumption.
1.2 TFSI
The 1.2 TFSI produces 77 kW (105 hp) and 175 Nm
(129.07 lb-ft) of torque. It accelerates the Audi A3 Sportback from zero to 100
km/h (62.14 mph) in 10.5 seconds. Top speed is 193 km/h (119.92 mph).
With the manual transmission, average fuel
consumption is just 4.9 liters per 100 km (48.00 US mpg), corresponding to CO2
emissions of 114 grams per km (183.47 g/mile).
1.4 TFSI
The new 1.4 TFSI produces 90 kW (122 hp) and 200
Nm (147.51 lb-ft) of torque, accelerating the A3 Sportback from zero to 100
km/h (62.14 mph) in 9.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of 203 km/h (126.14
mph). Its average fuel consumption is 5.3 liters of fuel per 100 km (44.38 US
mpg), which corresponds to 123 grams of CO2/km (197.95 g/mile).
A second version of the 1.4 TFSI to follow
somewhat later produces 103 kW (140 hp) and 250 Nm (184.39 lb-ft) of torque. It
features the innovative cylinder on demand (COD) system, which deactivates the
second and third cylinders at low to intermediate loads and while coasting.
The
powerful 1.4-liter engine's average fuel consumption is thus 4.7 liters of fuel
per 100 km (50.05 US mpg); CO2 emissions with the S tronic are just 110 grams
per km (177.03 g/mile). Performance is strong, with a time of 8.4 seconds for
the standard sprint and a top speed of 213 km/h (132.35 mph).
1.4 TCNG
A TCNG engine with 81 kW (110 hp) is making its
debut in the new Audi A3 Sportback. It has been systematically designed for
operation on Audi e-gas. It consumes just 3.6 kilograms of natural gas or Audi
e-gas, which Audi produces itself in a sustainable manner, per 100 km (65.34 US
mpg). With either fuel, CO2 tailpipe emissions are less than 100 grams per km
(160.93 g/mile).
1.8 TFSI
The new 1.8 TFSI - the most powerful engine in
the new A3 Sportback at market launch - showcases Audi's high-tech competence
with innovative solutions in many technical areas. Its torque curve is like
that of a TDI - its maximum torque of 250 Nm (184.39 lb-ft) is already
available at 1,250 rpm, and it remains constant up to 5,000 rpm. Its power is
132 kW (180 hp).
