Audi A3 Sedan

WITH the A3 Sedan, Audi is entering the world’s largest market segment, the class of compact sedans. The dynamic four-door car offers all of the strengths of the A3 model series – with low weight thanks to lightweight design, powerful and highly efficient engines and numerous high-end solutions for infotainment as well as driver assistance systems. The top model of the series is the S3 Sedan with 300 hp.

The Audi A3 Sedan has a sporty stance on the road. Its design is a cross between the classic three-box concept and the coupé philosophy. The four-door car has a 2.64-meter long wheelbase and an overall length of 4.46 meters. With a width of 1.80 meters, the A3 Sedan is eleven mm wider than the A3 Sportback; its height (1.42 meters) is still nine mm lower than that of the Sportback.

The engine lineup consists of three four-cylinder engines. Completely redesigned, the engines bring together efficiency technologies from Audi – direct fuel injection, turbocharging, innovative thermal management and the start-stop-system. Key performance parameters of the 1.4 TFSI are 140 hp and 250 Nm, a combined fuel consumption of just 4.7 liters fuel per 100 km, 8.4 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h and a top speed of 213 km/h. At low engine load, the COD (cylinder on demand) system deactivates two cylinders.
The 1.8 TFSI produces 180 hp and 250 Nm of torque. It accelerates to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds and up to a top speed of 232 km/h; its combined fuel consumption 5.7 liters per 100 km.
