The Audi A3 CabrioletConsistently efficient

The brand claim "Vorsprung durch Technik" encapsulates the cutting-edge technology that is at the very heart of the Audi brand. Not just in the domain of sportiness, but also when it comes to a form of mobility that is future-proof. Audi consistently applies various efficiency measures within the framework of an all-embracing concept. As the developer of numerous innovations, we have made a lasting impact on automotive engineering.

    The start-stop systemStart-stop systemThe start-stop system can help you to save energy and thus reduce CO2 emissions.Start-stop system reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by switching off the engine when the car is stationary. For instance, if the driver halts the car at traffic lights, moves the gear lever to neutral and takes their foot off the clutch, the system shuts down the engine (currently available for Audi A3 Cabriolet 1.6 TDITDISynonymous with muscular torque delivery and outstanding efficiency: TDI. Today, TDI engines are sporty, smooth and economical.TDI 77 kW).
  • Energy recovery
  • Energy recovery

    The energy recovery system converts kinetic energy into electrical energy during phases when the car is coasting or being braked. When the car accelerates again, the battery directs the temporarily stored energy back into the vehicle, to relieve the load on the alternator and thereby save fuel.
