The 2015 Audi A3 TDI® Sportback Debuts at the New York International Auto Show

April 17, 2014 - PRLog -- The new Audi A3 TDI® Sportback has recently been introduced at the New York International Auto Show. The folks at Audi Hilton Head (http://www.audihiltonhead.com/cities/audi-dealership-near-savannah/) want Lowcountry drivers to know that they have something very special to look forward to, considering that the Audi A3 line-up as a whole has met with great success here in the U.S. and worldwide for its winning combination of luxury and economy.

Among this line-up, the Audi A3 TDI® Sportback has specifically proven itself to be in a class of its own. This sharp 4-door hatchback model features the new fuel sipping, TDI® clean diesel 2.0L engine, meaning the A3 Sportback offers plenty of get-up-and-go along with outstanding MPG.

Delivering 150 hp, the newly refined engine provides a boost of 10 hp over the previous version, and it is expected to improve upon the earlier TDI® engine’s EPA estimated 30 MPG city and 42 MPG highway ratings.

Paired with this sporty and efficient clean diesel engine, is a standard 6-speed S Tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Like the recently unveiled A3 Sedan, the TDI® Sportback comes with a full menu of standard comfort, convenience, and advanced technology. This technology provides the connectivity and infotainment features coastal Georgia and Lowcountry drivers have come to expect from Audi.

Other features that will be available include the Audi exclusive MMI multimedia system, a drive select system (which allows drivers to choose amongst throttle and steering settings for either optimum performance or maximum efficiency), 4G LTE wireless broadband connectivity, and a premium Bang and Olufsen sound system.

Audi now also has a line-up that offers two wildly efficient alternatives to the conventional gasoline engine, with the TDI® clean diesel models and their soon-to-be-introduced A3 e-tron PHEV models. As with all Audi vehicles, the sophisticated design, finely-crafted luxury interior, cutting-edge technology, superior efficiency, and world-class driving dynamics make the new A3 TDI® Sportback a vehicle that will be highly anticipated at Audi Hilton Head.

The new TDI® Sportback is expected to arrive in the Audi Hilton Head showroom during the summer of 2015, but those interested in learning more about all that this stunning hatchback has to offer should contact the dealership (http://www.audihiltonhead.com/contact-us/).
