Technical data

Explanatory notes
¹ A vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions do not just depend on how efficiently the vehicle uses the fuel,
but are also influenced by driving behaviour and other non-technical factors. CO₂ is the greenhouse gas primarily
responsible for global warming.
² We recommend using sulphur-free super unleaded fuel RON 95 complying with DIN EN 228. If this is not
available, use sulphur-free regular unleaded RON 91 complying with DIN EN 228; power output will be slightly
reduced. Unleaded RON 95 fuel with a maximum ethanol content of 10 % (E10) can generally be used. Fuel
consumption details refer to operation with RON 95 fuel complying with 692/2008/EC.
³ The figure given was calculated using the specified measuring procedure
(current version of Directive 80/1269/EEC).
⁴ The figures given were calculated using the specified measuring procedures. The figures do not refer to one
individual vehicle and do not form part of any offer, but rather should be used purely for purposes of comparison
between the different vehicle models.
⁵ For Ambition: cast aluminium wheels, size 7.5 J x 17 with 225/45 R 17 tyres. For Ambiente: cast aluminium
wheels, size 7 J x 16 with 205/55 R 16 tyres.
⁶ You will find specifications on the technical characteristics of tyres in the adjacent table.
⁷ Unladen vehicle weight includes driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg) and fuel tank 90 % full, calculated in accordance
with the current version of EC Directive 92/21/EEC. Optional equipment may increase the car's unladen weight
and drag coefficient, whereupon the possible payload limit and the top speed will be reduced accordingly.
⁸ The engine’s power output always decreases with increasing altitude. At 1,000 m above sea level, and for every
additional 1,000 m, deduct 10 % from the weight of the outfit (trailer load limit + gross weight of the towing
vehicle). Figure for trailer load limit applies to factory-fitted trailer towing hitch. If using the vehicle with a
trailer towing hitch for commercial purposes, a digital tachograph may be required under certain conditions.
⁹ We recommend using sulphur-free diesel complying with DIN EN 590. If this is not available, use diesel
complying with DIN EN 590.
¹⁰ Regulated.
¹¹ We recommend using sulphur-free super plus unleaded RON 98 complying with DIN EN 228. If this is not
available, use sulphur-free super unleaded RON 95 complying with DIN EN 228; power output will be slightly
reduced. Unleaded RON 95 fuel with a maximum ethanol content of 10 % (E10) can generally be used. Fuel
consumption details refer to operation with RON 95 fuel complying with 692/2008/EC.
¹² Only available for the Attraction equipment line.
Important note
Inspections are due as shown by the service display.
Classifications of tyre parameters
The table shows the range of fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise emission classes for the different tyre sizes
of the A3 models.
It is not possible to order a specific tyre. Ask your Audi partner about the range of tyres available in your country.
