On the mechanical front, the new Audi A3 has a new 1.4-litre TFSI petrol engine. As seen on the new generation A4, this new engine is replacing the 1.8-litre TFSI engine. Paired with a 7-speed S-Tronic dual clutch transmission, the turbocharged motor generates 150 hp and 250 Nm of torque. It also comes with a technology that tapes off cylinders that are not being used at lower speeds, called the Cylinder on Demand (COD). As a result, it supports fuel-economy along with reducing emissions. As claimed by Audi India, this brand new variant renders 19.20 kmpl of fuel efficiency.audi-a3-cabriolet-2017-roof-convertible

It is exciting to see one of the most pocket-friendly convertibles to come up with all these new upgrades and updates. What is surprising is that Audi India is launching this before introducing the facelift of A3 sedan, which is considered to be one of the most pocket-friendly luxury sedans in the country. As of now, nothing has been said about its launch but we can expect to see that in a few months time.
