Back in September, Audi first announced the addition of the new 1.6 TDI model to the A3 lineup over in Europe and now it's available to order in the UK. The newest A3 features the VW group's latest 1.6-liter common rail injected four cylinder diesel powerplant. In the A3, this engine combines with several other tweaks - including brake energy regeneration and automatic start-stop - to get a CO2 rating of just 99 g/km and mileage of 61.9 mpg (U.S.) on the EU combined cycle.
Audi conducted an efficiency challenge in Europe in late September that included the new A3 1.6 where the cars averaged 59.4 mpg (U.S.) going from Norway to Italy. In the UK, the new A3 costs about $34,500 including value added taxes. Volkswagen and Audi have not given any indication that it will offer the 1.6 in the U.S. market, although other elements like stop-start and regen braking probably will be added here in the coming years.
