AUDI has announced that their start-stop technology will now be available in Audi A3 cars. The start-stop will be equipped with the S-tronic gear box. The engine will restart within 0.2 seconds after the brake pedal is released. The battery will also get charged when the car is slowing down. With this technology the consumption of the 1.4L petrol will increase to 53.3mpg from 49.4mpg and emissions will drop to 124g/km. The 1.6L diesel will return 67.3mpg and emissions will be 109g/km. Audi says that the performance of the A3 will not be affected.
The comfort, drive quality and refinements will remain the same as is well known in Audi A3 cars. This drop in consumption and emissions will certainly prod potential Audi A3 customers to stop by Audi dealers. Audi is reputed for building good cars and the Audi A3 is a popular hatch. Hatch lovers will certainly want to see the Audi A3 in their parking spots. Audi customers do know where to source Car Loans from and Audi dealers are also helpful in arranging car loans. Those who want to move up the premium car ladder will also like to get an Audi A3 which will be economical to run.
