Audi A3 and A3 Sportback

Modern living //

Vehicle concept

Become more individual.
Every day is different. Every place is different. Every car is different. Audi A3 and Audi A3 Sportback.
In a world that is becoming more and more exciting, cars have to become better and better. The ideal car must be just as flexible as the people driving it. Just as dynamic as the life they lead. And most important of all: it must be just as enjoyable as life itself. But is that really so? Our
designers and developers havent asked themselves this question. They have just got on with it. They have developed a car that is tailor-made to match the lifestyles of modern people. One car, two models as individual as you are: the Audi A3 and the Audi A3 Sportback.

Design

Enjoy for longer.
Cars can talk. Provided they have as much to tell us as the Audi A3. There are cars that say something about the good taste of their driver. Others emphasise that their driver is an enthusiast of state-of-the-art technology. The Audi A3 says more than this. It says it is fun to be on the move. And it gets that message across using very few words. Just its distinctive, self-confident face and its striking profile with the gently sloping roof line. These two things combine to give the A3 its dynamic presence.

Conclusion

Allow for enthusiasm.
Can beauty make you happy? We think it can. Self-confident and energetic sporty and clear: thats the Audi A3. The deep drawn clear-glass headlamps give the impression that it is lying in wait, ready to sprint away at any time. The front-end, with its elegant and dynamic singleframe radiator grille, gives the car a broad, energy-charged appearance. Get in. Drive off. Be enthused.

Engines

Camshaft

Illustration of the principles of combustion
Technology only makes sense when it is of use to us.
The TFSI engine1 intelligently combines powerful turbo technology with the efficient FSI injection process proven technology from the world of motorsport. The result: an engine that only burns as much fuel as is necessary and responds more spontaneously and sportily. This is evident, for example, in the performance figures of the 2.0 TFSI (147 kW), whose maximum torque of 280 Nm is delivered between 1700 and 5000 rpm. This power unit accelerates the Audi A3 from 0 to 100 in 6.6 seconds, the A3 Sportback in 6.7.
Valve 16 / / Technology / / Engines Crankshaft Connecting rod Piston Timing chain
The A3 and the A3 Sportback are available in numerous performance versions with petrol and diesel engines1. The performance range extends from 75 kW to 184 kW in the Audi A3 3.2 quattro, which as a Sportback accelerates from 0 to 100 in just 6.2 seconds. Also very dynamic while at the same time making extremely efficient use of the fuel are the diesel engines, namely the 1.9 TDI with a power output of 77 kW and the 1.9 TDI e and 2.0 TDI with power outputs of 103 kW and 125 kW respectively.
The fuel consumption and CO2 emissions figures can be found on page 90 onwards. Technology / / Engines / / 17

Interior //

Think more generously.
Imagine getting into a sports car and suddenly getting a feeling of largeness. The Audi A3 and A3 Sportback offer you and your passengers precisely what its all about: your freedom. Thanks to the astonishing amount of legroom in the rear and the generously dimensioned interior. The sporty seats with contours that support the spine make driving an even more pleasurable experience. The tall centre console and the high position of the gear lever reinforce the dynamic impression and, thanks to the clearly arranged instruments, you have a lot of the important information available at a glance. You see: no matter which model variant you decide on in both vehicles you will find sportiness, space and relaxed comfort.

Safety //

Passive safety

Be better protected.

Always on the move, but always in good hands. With the Audi A3 and A3 Sportbacks intelligent safety system.
The only thing you will ever see of the safety systems in the A3 and A3 Sportback will probably be the seat belts. Everything else you can view exclusively here. Such as the high-strength passenger cell. Or the remote sensors of the crash sensing system that ensure the restraint systems are triggered if the worst should happen. Thanks to the integral head restraint system, the shape of the seat restrains the upper body and supports the head in the
case of a rear-end collision. This increases the level of protection and reduces the risk of a whiplash injury. Also worthy of note: the driver and front-passenger airbags, the side airbags in the seats, also available as an option in the rear for the A3 Sportback, and the head-level airbag system which in the event of a side impact covers virtually the whole of the side-window area.

Active safety

It is sensible to expect anything. It is even more sensible to be ready for everything.
Anyone who is constantly on the move must be able to count on his car in any situation. When the windscreen wipers are activated, for example, the brake pads are placed in contact with the brake discs at intervals. In this instance, the Electronic Stabilization Programme (ESP) not only regulates the braking force in accordance with the driving situation, but when its wet also reduces the formation of a water film on the brake discs. The trailer stabilisation system makes use of the sensors of the Electronic Stabilization Programme to dampen trailer vibration which, for example, may have been caused by changing lanes, wheel ruts or side winds. Incorporated into the ESP package are the
40 / / Safety / / Active safety

anti-lock braking system (ABS), hydraulic Brake Assist with electronic brake force distribution (EBD), electronic differential lock (EDL) and traction control (ASR). In emergency braking situations, the hazard warning lights are activated automatically. The dynamic suspension with frontwheel drive or with the optional quattro permanent all-wheel drive offers additional safety, as does the Audi magnetic ride damping system. Safe and comfortable: the Audi parking system assists you when forward or reverse parking by emitting acoustic warnings. And with the park assist function, your A3 will park itself. All you have to do is control your speed the car will steer for you.

The e stands for extra efficiency Audi models. In these models, the balance between performance and consumption has been improved still further. These Audi models are characterised by reduced fuel consumption and CO2emissions when compared with standard models. In the A3 1.9 TDI e, this effect has been achieved by modifications to the vehicle.

For Ambition cast aluminium wheels 7.5 J x 17 with 225/45 R 17 tyres. For Ambiente cast aluminium wheels 6.5 J x 16 with 205/55 R 16 tyres. Weight of car, unladen, without driver (calculated in accordance with the current applicable version of Directive 92/21/EEC). Optional equipment may increase the cars unladen weight and drag coefficient, whereupon the possible payload limit and the top speed will be reduced accordingly. The engine's power output always goes down with increasing altitude. At 1000 m above sea level, and for every additional 1000 m, deduct 10 % from the weight of the outfit (trailer load limit + gross weight of the towing vehicle). A vehicles fuel consumption and CO2 emissions do not just depend on how efficiently the vehicle uses the fuel, but are also affected by driver behaviour and other non-technical factors. CO2 is the greenhouse gas primarily responsible for global warming. Top speed is achieved in 5th gear. We recommend using Super unleaded with 95 RON. If this is not available, use regular unleaded (91 RON); power output will be slightly reduced. In addition to Super unleaded 95 RON and Bio-ethanol E 85, all mixture ratios of these two fuels may be used. We recommend using SuperPlus unleaded with 98 RON. If this is not available, use Super unleaded (95 RON), power output will be slightly reduced. The values stated were calculated using the specified measurement procedures (current applicable version of Directive 80/1268/EEC). The values 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. Regulated

The value stated was calculated using the specified measurement procedure (current applicable version of Directive 80/1269/EEC).
