Audi A3 Cabrio TFSI Comes to the UK

Audi’s British division announced today it has added the new A3 Cabriolet 1.2 TFSI (the smallest capacity petrol engine ever to power an Audi) to the local range, to replace the 1.6-litre MPI model. Audi UK is now accepting orders for the car, which is priced from £19,985 OTR.

The compact TFSI engine generates the same 105PS output as the 1.6-litre naturally aspirated unit it replaces, along with 175Nm of torque between just 1,500 and 4,100 rpm- a 27Nm increase over its predecessor.

Linked exclusively to six-speed manual transmission, the A3 Cabriolet 1.2 TFSI can reach 62 mph from rest in 12.2 seconds, and continue to a top speed of 118 mph, which is an increase of 0.3 seconds and 4 mph over the 1.6MPI. Despite these improvements, it also boosts combined fuel economy by 9.2 mpg, to 49.6 mpg, and drops CO2 output by 35g/km to 132g/km.

The new A3 Cabriolet will be available in either standard, Sport or S line specification. Standard versions include 16-inch alloy wheels, air conditioning, powered windows and mirrors, a Chorus radio with single CD drive and semi-automatic hood operation.

The Sport versions come with 17-inch alloy wheels, sports suspension and sports seats with fully automatic hood operation. The hood, which can be lowered in just 9 seconds or raised in 11 seconds, also incorporates additional acoustic insulation.

The top-of-the-range S line models further add 18-inch 7 twin-spoke alloy wheels and exclusive front and rear bumper design. Inside, they come with leather and Sprint cloth combination upholstery embossed with the S line insignia, an S line multifunction sports steering wheel, a perforated leather gear knob and matt brushed aluminium inlays.
