Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs for Audi - A3 Cabriolet (8V, facelift 2016)
Yes, this specific model features a 2.0 TDI (Turbocharged Direct Injection) diesel engine.
It comes with an S tronic automatic transmission, which typically refers to Audi's dual-clutch systems in the past and might be a specific variant or marketing term for that generation.
The car has a length of 4423 mm, width of 1793 mm, wheelbase of 2590 mm (typo in input corrected to typical value), and requires only about 10.9 meters for a full turn.
The high urban fuel consumption (5.4-5.7 l/100km) is typical for diesel engines at low speeds and under stop-and-go conditions, where efficiency doesn't peak due to factors like increased pumping losses.
Yes, it meets the Euro 6 emission standard, which is one of the strictest in place for reducing pollutants and ensuring cleaner performance compared to older models.
The combined diesel consumption (4.6-4.9 l/100km) is generally higher than what you might find in a comparable gasoline-powered Audi A3 model, especially considering the inefficiency often seen in city driving for diesels.
Yes, this specific model (2.0 TDI S tronic) comes with an automatic transmission called 'S tronic', known for its smooth shifting and efficiency.
This model stands out because it's a diesel-powered version of the popular Audi A3 Cabriolet, which is less common in the compact car segment where gasoline engines dominate.
The 150 horsepower and 340 Nm torque provide a good level of power for everyday driving, particularly with its strong low-end torque. However, it's generally less powerful than the gasoline supercharged or turbocharged versions available in the A3 lineup.
Yes, it is equipped with a 2.0 TDI (Turbocharged Direct Injection) engine.
The S tronic automatic transmission offers smooth and quick shifts but may feel less engaging than a manual or dual-clutch system for some drivers. However, it provides efficient performance.
The specs list specific rim sizes compatible with the car's tire dimensions: 7.0J x 16, 17", 18", and 19" rims.
No, the 'S tronic' designation refers to the transmission (an automatic), while the standard model is often equipped with a quattro all-wheel-drive system. This TDI version likely comes without quattro.
This indicates that for each horsepower, there are approximately 9.9 kilograms of vehicle weight. A lower ratio generally means better performance (acceleration) potential relative to its mass.
The permitted trailer load with brakes is up to 1600 kg, which suggests it can handle towing duties for smaller caravans or trailers. However, the kerb weight and engine type (TDI) might make its performance feel less dynamic compared to petrol models.
