Technical data

The A3 and the A3 Sportback have been built using Audi ultra lightweight technology. The
intelligent combination of different materials reduces vehicle weight despite increased
requirements for comfort and vehicle electronics. In addition, all the engines feature as standard
a start-stop system and a recuperation function to convert kinetic energy into usable electrical
energy during braking. This allows fuel to be saved.
Further optional intelligent helpers to make the vehicles even more efficient: the deluxe
automatic air conditioning with eco mode, the onboard computer with efficiency program and
the efficiency mode included in Audi drive select. The innovative thermal management also
contributes to increasing efficiency. This networked system distributes heat between the engine,
transmission and passenger cell as necessary.
The fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures as well as the efficiency classes can be found from
page 122 onwards.
