2013 Audi A3 Sportback S-Line

 

2013 Audi A3 Sportback S-Line has a new Audi A3 Sportback body long and slender. Designed by combining the sporty and elegant design, this car is expected to attract buyers. which has a length (4310 mm [14.14 ft]), width (1780 millimeters [5.84 ft]) and high (1425 mm [4.68 ft]) of the new model is only slightly larger than the previous model, the wheelbase is now significantly again in 2636 millimeters (8.65 ft), an increase of 58 millimeters (2.28).

Engine of the new Audi A3 Sportback has shed large amounts of weight too. Engine of the new A3 has shed a lot of weight as well. The 1.8 TFSI, for example, weighs just a little over 130 kilograms (286.60 pounds), while the 1.4 TFSI weighs only 107 kilograms (235.89 pounds) - 21 kg (46.30 pounds) less than the previous engine. With the difference in weight 15 kilograms (33.07 pounds), aluminum crankcase accounts for the lion's share of the reduction, but progress has also been made in many small engine details - for example in a new aluminum piston and hollow-bored pin connecting rods.

In the 1.8 TFSI, thin-wall technology crankcase reduces weight by 2.4 kilograms (5.29 pounds). In TDI 2.0, balance shaft mounted on the engine block, which accounts for three kilograms (6.61 pounds) of savings, whereas the modified silencer exhaust system stores two additional kilograms (4.41 lb). Trimmed weight of the exhaust system in all versions of the machine.

In the chassis, one-piece aluminum subframe and new aluminum pivot bearings (depending on engine) reduces the weight of the front suspension system about six kilograms (13.23 lb). The optional 18-inch wheels are not heavier than the 17-inch wheels, they are produced by forming a complex flow technology. In this process, RIM also rolled on top of the cylinder under high pressure and at high temperatures. These systems form the empty wheel in a single work step, in which the material is also becoming stronger. This allows a thinner wall thickness so the wheels are lighter and stronger.

Audi A3 Sportback offers a new beginning with a choice of two TDI and two TFSI engines, all new developments. They ranged from 1.4 to 2.0 liters of engine displacement and power of 77 kW (105 hp) to 132 kW (180 hp). Additional diesel and petrol engines will follow somewhat later, as will the engine TCNG, which can be operated on the Audi e-gas or natural gas. Bivalent TCNG machine can be operated on gasoline, natural gas or Audi e-gas. All the engines follow the downsizing philosophy of the Audi engine, in which the displacement is replaced by forced induction for strong performance and low fuel consumption. Fuel consumption has been reduced by an average of about nine per cent compared to the previous model.

At the market launch of the new A3 Sportback, Audi 1.4 TDI and 2.0 TFSI engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission. It shifts easily and just above the short line and are distinguished by high efficiency. As in all Audi transmission, dissemination big teeth - teeth have low gear ratios are relatively short, while the relatively long last gear to reduce engine revs. The S tronic is available as an option with all engines. Depending on the version, the dual-clutch transmission shifts very quickly and almost imperceptibly through six or seven teeth.

New Audi A3 Sportback 1.8 TFSI comes standard with the seven-speed S tronic, it brings together the convenience of a classic auto with the dynamic performance and the efficiency of a manual transmission. The driver can operate the S tronic selector lever or via optional paddles on the steering wheel. Somewhat higher shift points in automatic mode S, while the D mode prioritizes higher gear ratios. When combined with the Audi drive select dynamics system (standard in the Ambition), which includes the function S tronic generous in efficiency mode that further reduces fuel consumption.

The new Audi A3 Sportback will begin appearing in dealerships Germany in February 2013, with prices starting at € 23,400. The 1.2 TFSI will be available somewhat later for a base price of € 22,500.
