>>> Aerodynamics
Less drag, more efficiency. Thanks to the
consistently aerodynamic design of the
vehicle’s lines – in order to achieve the best
possible form for aerodynamic efficiency.
Not forgetting tyres with reduced rolling
resistance. All tested in the Audi wind
tunnel at up to 300 km/h.
>>> Transmission expertise
Improved efficiency thanks to improved
transmission ratios. A high torque output
makes longer ratios possible, especially
in higher gears. For powerful torque in
the low engine speed range which reduces
consumption – yet has virtually no impact
on driving performance and sportiness.
>>> Lightweight expertise
Less weight. More savings, power and endurance.
Audi lightweight technology. What started
with lightweight body construction has now
made its way into nearly all areas, combining
innovative materials such as aluminium and
magnesium, intelligent design principles and
resource-saving manufacturing processes
into an overall concept.
>>> Recuperation
Braking that leads to even more efficient driving.
With brake energy recovery (recuperation). Part
of the kinetic energy produced when braking and
coasting is temporarily stored in the vehicle’s
battery and then used when accelerating. Depending
on the driving cycle, this can save up to 3 % of fuel.
Audi ultra
Perfectly combined.
The future of efficient technologies.
Building an Audi is an extremely complicated business. And yet a simple principle applies for all models: all vehicle components
interlock precisely in order to produce emission-reducing synergies. What started in accordance with this principle at the
end of the 1980s with Audi lightweight construction and the revolutionary Audi Space Frame (ASF®) is now known as the
reversal of the weight spiral: every lightweight component has an impact on other components, which can in turn be made
smaller. In this way, existing forms and materials are continuously being improved with regard to their functionality, the
lowest possible weight and their production process. With the goal of building vehicles that are even more efficient and
make more sparing use of resources. At the same time, more and more efficiency technologies are being built into an Audi.
These include recuperation and the start-stop system. Not to mention progressive, efficient high-tech engines. For greater
driving dynamics, high compression, more efficient combustion and lower CO₂ emissions. All this is known as Audi ultra.
Today and in the future towards CO₂-reduced mobility.
>>> Engine expertise
Powerfully and efficiently driven. By Audi ultra
with efficiency technologies in the engine sector.
Such as Audi cylinder on demand and the Audi
valvelift system, which both reduce the amount of
energy consumed by the engine, or clean diesel
technology, which can help to reduce emission.

Performance
Maximum power.
Put to maximum use.
Every movement originates from something. Something that sets it off, an idea.
The engine in your Audi A3 can also be traced back to an initial spark of inspiration:
higher power with lower fuel consumption. These apparently conflicting aims are
reconciled in two revolutionary drive technologies: TDI and TFSI. Get acquainted with
both of them. And then opt for the drive system that you feel most moved by.
Audi cylinder
on demand
TDI®
With their combination of direct injection and turbocharging,
Audi TDI engines promise exceptional performance – thanks to
their high torque output over the entire engine speed range
with constant power build-up. They are renowned for being
fuel-efficient and for reducing emissions. But they are incredibly
dynamic too – letting you get the maximum out of any road.
The fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures can be found from page 114 onwards.
TFSI®
Audi TFSI engines attain a particularly high compression rate.
The result: outstanding efficiency combined with optimum
performance. Substituting supercharging for cubic capacity has
the effect of considerably reducing engine size and weight –
while performance remains as impressively dynamic as ever.
For power delivery that will win you over from the word go.
Even cylinder heads can be intelligent,
as Audi cylinder on demand proves.
Cylinders two and three of the TFSI
engines four cylinders automatically
shut down in the partial-load range.
This helps to lower fuel consumption
at the same time as reducing emission.
Without the switchover even being
noticed or impairing the driving
dynamics.

Audi ultra
74
There’s a sign for maximum efficiency at Audi.
The Audi A3 ultra models – the most sustainable
TDI® and TFSI® models in the range.
Technologies and measures for reducing consumption and emissions without any reduction in driving enjoyment – that’s
what Audi ultra stands for. Standard in every Audi model. The long-term aim: completely emission-free mobility. To achieve
this, we are systematically continuing our development work. On more and more efficient drive technologies, for example.
Such as the g-tron and e-tron drives – which combine state-of-the-art TFSI or TDI engines with natural gas or electric drives.
But also on the economical petrol or diesel engines themselves. We award the most sustainable of these with the ultra
emblem on the rear of the model, which announces: maximum efficiency ahead. Thanks to combined CO₂ emission values
from 89 g/km for the Audi A3 TDI ultra models and from 104 g/km for the TFSI models with Audi cylinder on demand.
And without having to do without the dynamics typical of Audi. Experience the Audi A3 ultra models – vehicles that redefine
efficient driving.
The 1.6 litre TDI ultra engine with 81 kW
has the following CO₂ emission values
in the combined driving cycle:
A3/A3 Sportback: from 89 g/km.
The 1.6 TDI ultra models in the A3 have the following
standard equipment:
6-speed manual transmission
with adapted transmission ratio
Tyres with improved roll resistance
to allow fuel to be saved
Improved trim and side sill trims
for low drag coefficient and improved aerodynamics
Forged aluminium wheels in 5-spoke design
size 6.5 J x 16 with 205/55 R 16 tyres*
Optionally available:
Cast aluminium wheels in 15-spoke Y design
size 6.5 J x 16 with 205/55 R 16 tyres*
The 1.4 litre TFSI ultra engine with 110 kW and
Audi cylinder on demand technology has the following
CO₂ emission values in the combined driving cycle:
A3: from 104 g/km, A3 Sportback: from 106 g/km.
The 1.4 litre TFSI ultra models have the same
equipment as the standard model.
The model-specific standard and optional equipment can be found in the index from page 122 onwards. The illustration shows the Audi A3 Sportback 1.6 TDI ultra.
The fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures can be found on page 118. * You will find specifications on the technical characteristics of tyres on page 119.
Engines
76
The right driving force for every personality.
No matter which Audi engine you choose, they all have high compression ratios, highly efficient combustion and
outstanding efficiency. In short, they deliver more power whilst using less fuel and producing fewer emissions.
1.4 TFSI
2.0 TDI
TFSI®
The Audi TFSI engines offer outstanding efficiency and improved performance
whilst at the same time retaining their dynamism. For example the 1.4 TFSI ultra
(110 kW) with Audi cylinder on demand technology in the Audi A3 and Audi
A3 Sportback. Or the 1.8 TFSI quattro with 132 kW. For S tronic with an acceleration
of 0 to 100 km/h in 6.7 or 6.8 seconds.

TDI®
Audi TDI engines: high torque output over the entire engine speed range – with
constant power build-up. They are renowned for being fuel-efficient and for
reducing emissions. Like the 2.0 TDI (110 kW). In the Audi A3 Sportback with a
maximum speed of 218 km/h and an acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h in 8.6 seconds.

When you choose a paint colour, choose one that best reflects your own personality.
But whichever colour you opt for, you can count on the outstanding quality of our
painting process. Though no thicker than a human hair, the layer of paint on an Audi
is actually made up of four different coats. So not only do you look radiant in your
Audi, the car is also optimally protected from environmental influences and wear.
For its entire lifetime.

Paint finishes Wheels/tyres
In our view, millimetre precision is simply not
enough to ensure you will still be able to enjoy
your favourite colour for your Audi even after
driving many thousands of kilometres. That is
why we deliver precision on the micrometre
scale, and why it takes top priority even for the
primer coat. The first layer protects the body
from rust and other symptoms of old age. The
filler layer compensates for even the tiniest of
irregularities and has an elastic effect, stopping
the paint flaking off if for example gravel is
thrown up. The third layer is the visible colour. Then
comes a fourth layer of clear varnish, which
protects the paint finish from UV rays and gives
it a sheen and depth of colour that will ideally
last for a long time – until you decide on a new
favourite colour.

To make sure you have peace of mind for every metre of your drive, Audi puts
its wheels through an exacting series of specialised test procedures. Hardness
tests, for example, aim for maximum stability, while a copper accelerated salt
spray test – CASS for short – using acetic acid guarantees the greatest possible
corrosion protection. Thanks to these and many other measures, we can ensure
that every Audi wheel offers maximum quality – even after scores of kilometres.
No matter which of the numerous designs you choose.

Seats
Fixated on quality.
With Audi seats, you can not only rely on elegant materials
and top-class workmanship, but on comprehensive
testing procedures as well. Audi tests the quality of all
seat leather in its own laboratory, for instance. 45 tests
are used to determine the durability alone. Clamped in
automatic jigs, the leather samples have to show how
evenly they stretch, where they start to tear and when
they start to develop folds, how abrasion proof and
flame resistant they are. Only leather that passes all
the tests with flying colours is used for Audi seats.

Cruise control¹
At speeds of 30 km/h and above, the system keeps the
set speed constant, provided that engine power and
engine braking effect permit it; operated via separate
steering column stalk; set speed displayed in the
driver information system
Park assist¹
Virtually automatic steering process during parking. Uses ultrasonic sensors to search for suitable perpendicular
and parallel parking spaces. The ideal parking path is calculated for perpendicular parking spaces, and the ideal
path for leaving the parking space is additionally calculated for parallel parking spaces. The steering action is
performed by the system. The driver must accelerate and apply the brakes as well as monitor the parking process.
Depending on the steering angle, the display of the surroundings can warn the driver of any obstacles at the side
of the vehicle by displaying the lane in conjunction with MMI navigation plus with MMI touch. Assisted parking is
now even possible in smaller parking spaces and bend areas. Parking in several moves is supported. Can optionally
be ordered with reversing camera; activated via a button on the centre console
Reversing camera¹
Image of area behind the vehicle shown on the MMI display, with dynamic display modes showing the path
calculated based on steering angle; auxiliary lines and guidelines as well as identification of the point at which
to apply opposite lock when parallel parking; reversing camera integrated discreetly in the handle strip of the
luggage compartment lid; activated when reverse gear is selected or via a button on the centre console
Audi pre sense basic¹
automatically initiates preventative occupant protection
measures if required; these include: tensioning the
front seat belts, closing the windows and – if ordered –
the panoramic glass sunroof; categorises driving
situations by networking different vehicle systems
Audi pre sense front¹
Enhanced brake assist warns of any imminent threat
of collision with the vehicle in front. Can initiate
partial braking action or boost the driver’s braking
action if necessary. In addition, full braking action is
initiated at speeds below 30 km/h if there is danger
of collision with a stationary or moving vehicle in
order to reduce the speed of the collision or to avoid
the collision if possible. Audi pre sense front can be
deactivated via the MMI car menu.
Assistance package¹
combines the following assistance systems:
▪ parking system plus or, on request, park assist,
each with reversing camera option
▪ adaptive cruise control with extended control range
(manual transmission from around 30 to 200 km/h,
S tronic 0 to 200 km/h)
▪ Audi active lane assist
The systems in the assistance package complement
each other and provide mutual assistance. Details of
how to activate or adjust assistance systems can be
found in the relevant system description.
adaptive cruise control including
Audi pre sense front¹
Vehicles ahead are detected with the aid of a radar
sensor. The distance is kept more or less constant in
the control range by braking and acceleration. Control
range for manual transmission from around 30 to
150 km/h, S tronic 0 to 150 km/h and with optional
assistance package extended to 200 km/h; braking to
a stop and automated restart at driver’s request possible
with S tronic. 4 distance levels/driving modes can be
selected (efficiency, comfort, dynamic and auto).
Including Audi pre sense front; operation of adaptive
cruise control via separate steering column stalk.
Audi pre sense front can be deactivated via the
MMI car menu.
Audi side assist¹
warns by means of an LED display on the relevant
exterior mirror of any situations assessed as critical
for changing lanes. 2 radar sensors detect vehicles
approaching from behind at the side and measure the
distance and the difference in speed. The lane change
assistant provides support in the speed range from
around 30 km/h. One-off activation via MMI car menu
Audi active lane assist¹
helps you to keep in lane by means of gentle steering
intervention. The lane compliance assistant is triggered
when the driver starts to cross detected lane markings
without activating an indicator. The system provides
assistance between speeds of around 60 and 250 km/h.
Steering wheel vibration can be adjusted if the driver
wishes; camera-based traffic sign recognition is included
in conjunction with MMI navigation plus with MMI touch.
Including high-beam assist; activated by means of a
button on the steering column stalk of the indicator
The model-specific standard and optional equipment can be found in the index from page 122 onwards.

Camera-based recognition of traffic signs¹, ²
Traffic sign recognition for overtaking bans and speed
limits, including temporary speed limit displays (e.g.
above motorways); situation-dependent evaluation in
wet conditions, speed limits depending on the time of
day and when using a trailer³. The traffic sign recognition
feature can detect standardised speed limits within
the viewing range of the camera within system limits.
Supported by Audi connect navigation data, the
detected limits are evaluated and displayed in the
driver information system. Traffic sign recognition
output can be configured via the multifunction
steering wheel. Up to 3 traffic signs can be shown
exclusively on the centre display, or the compulsory
sign currently relevant can be shown as an additional
display to another system (e.g. digital speed display).
The system is purely for your information; no action is
taken and no warning is given if the displayed speed is
exceeded.
Audi magnetic ride
Improved driving comfort and driving dynamics thanks
to the regulation of the damping forces based on
the driving situation; adaptive damper system with
3 individual selections of suspension settings (auto/
comfort/dynamic), can be set via Audi drive select
(optional with TFSI and TDI engines from 110 kW);
including sport suspension lowered by 15 mm
compared with the dynamic suspension
Audi drive select
allows vehicle characteristics to be set in the available
modes auto, comfort, dynamic, efficiency as well as
individually by adjusting the power steering assistance,
engine and gear changing characteristics (with S tronic)
and setting further optional equipment such as Audi
magnetic ride. The efficiency mode shifts the engine,
transmission (with S tronic), climate control and
optional adaptive cruise control or cruise control to a
more fuel-efficient basic setting. The individual mode
is only available in conjunction with MMI radio or
MMI navigation plus with MMI touch.
¹ Please note: The systems work only within system limits and support the driver. However, the driver remains responsible for driving the vehicle in traffic and

Explanatory notes
Important note
¹ Fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures given in ranges depend on the tyre/wheel sets used.
Special information about the wheels: Wheels with gloss turned finish as well as polished or partly polished
aluminium wheels must not be used in wintry road conditions. For manufacturing reasons, the rim surface does
not have sufficient corrosion protection for such use and can be damaged permanently by road salt or similar.
² We recommend using sulphur-free super unleaded RON 95 fuel complying with DIN EN 228. If this is not available,
use sulphur-free regular unleaded RON 91 fuel 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 UN-R 85).
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 Unladen vehicle weight includes driver (75 kg) and fuel tank 90 % full, calculated in accordance with the current
version of Reg. (EU) 1230/2012. 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.
⁶ 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.
⁷ We recommend using sulphur-free diesel complying with DIN EN 590. If this is not available, use diesel
complying with DIN EN 590.
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.
⁸ Regulated.
⁹ We recommend using sulphur-free SuperPlus unleaded RON 95 fuel complying with DIN EN 228. If this is not
available, use sulphur-free super unleaded RON 95 fuel 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.
⁶ A vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions as well as deviations from the given values 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.

The fascination of Audi

Equipment Audi A3/A3 Sportback/S3/S3 Sportback
Responsibility
Living up to our responsibilities is a principle that is firmly
anchored in Audi strategy. Alongside commercial success
and international competitiveness, our responsibility
toward company employees and society as a whole is
a key consideration, as is protecting the environment and
conserving resources. And what is true in the details –
our catalogues are printed on FSC-certified paper – also
holds in general: Audi develops cars that are not only
sporty and emotive but also ever more efficient. In the
long run, Audi wants its products to allow CO₂-neutral
Discover
mobility. Seeing to it that production in Audi plants
gradually becomes CO₂-neutral is another aspect of our
comprehensive approach. Audi is also committed to
society particularly in the fields of education, technology
and social projects. At Audi, sustainability is closely
linked with how we see the future: the Audi Urban Future
Initiative sees Audi working with international experts
to get to the root of future urban challenges and trends
in mobility.
the world of Audi.
Choosing an Audi means choosing
a brand that offers more.
More individuality.
More exclusivity. More fascination.
The Audi experience
The fascination of Audi can be experienced in many
different ways. Audi City Berlin, Audi City London and
Audi City Beijing, for example, give you digital access
to all models at their actual size and in real time. And of
course it is always worth visiting one of the major motor
shows. This is where Audi always presents its new models
and invites you to take a look at how the future is being
shaped with “Vorsprung durch Technik”. Anyone interested
in seeing how Audi is already putting this into practice
will find fascinating insight in the “Vorsprung durch
Technik” online special at www.audi.com. But a look back
can also be rewarding: at the Audi museum mobile in
Ingolstadt, history and high-tech go hand in hand. A total
of 130 historic exhibits and state-of-the-art forms of
presentation make for a thrilling symbiosis. Plus, Audi
driving experience allows you to live the excitement and
countless possibilities of current Audi models. Here, pure
driving enjoyment is combined with valuable learning
effects. This is ensured by a team of specially trained and
highly qualified instructors who provide practical tips to
help you optimise your driving skills. All this can now also
be enjoyed at the recently opened Audi driving experience
center in Neuburg, near Ingolstadt. Facilities here include
a circuit of up to 3.4 kilometres that features challenging
combinations of bends, a 30,000 m² dynamic driving
area and an offroad section where Q models can be put
through their paces.

Team spirit
Motorsport is a driving force behind the brand. For years
Audi has been among the champions in various racing
series, for instance the 24 Hours of Le Mans or the DTM
German Touring Car Masters. The values that are crucial
in many different areas of sport are also central ones for
Audi: precision, passion and technology. No coincidence
then that Audi has been sponsoring sporting events for
many years. In the world of winter sports, for example,
Audi has been the main sponsor of the German Ski
Association (DSV) for almost three decades and has
also partnered 16 other national alpine teams. In
football, we support national and international teams.
And Audi is also a partner for the German Olympic
Sports Confederation.
