Ladies And Gentlemen - The New Audi A3

Ladies And Gentlemen - The New Audi A3

Author: Tomas Yoko
Date: 2017-05-05

My Audi A3 was waiting for me outside and as Johan handed me the keys he calmly mentioned that it was a three cylinder, one litre engine that was powering this new Audi.

This newcomer to the premium A-segment of the car market is not to be regarded with any doubts I must tell you. I was not quite expecting the level of commitment and enthusiasm that the Audi A3 TFSI 1.0 litre engine delivered. From the word go, the Audi A3 was not holding back, I pushed it into every conceivable circumstance that would test its spirit and the Audi just kept on giving and giving.

From those three cylinders Audi's one litre engine is delivering a healthy 85 kilowatts of power and a respectable 200 Newton metres of torque, which is available from just two thousand revs per minute.

Frugal takes on a new meaning with this A3 reaching as low as 4,5 litres of fuel for 100 kilometres covered. The A3 one litre makes it from standstill to 100 kilometres per hour in 9.7 seconds and will cap off its top speed at 206 kilometres per hour.

Then of course there is the Audi styled interior and the model I was test-driving was very well specked. The entertainment system and information interface was very simple to browse through and connected with total ease. Audi calls it infotainment and the functionality is really special.

Contact Audi Centre Durban to arrange a test drive in this amazing newcomer, which gives you all the style and sophistication of an Audi and the most frugal engine that is not shy to go. Visit their World Class showroom at 200 Stalwart Simelane Street, Durban, today.
