MMI® – Multi Media Interface Follow your intuition. And you’ll get there. We try to match up to our claim of “Vorsprung durch Technik” in every aspect of an Audi – for example with the advanced optional MMI – Multi Media Interface. The MMI is used to control a wide variety of media in the vehicle, as well as the navigation system and other convenience functions. In addition, you can use it to control the optional services supported by Audi connect.
MMI touch: You can “write” with your finger on the optional MMI touch. The system recognises letters and numbers. It can be used for navigation and for your phone. In jukebox mode, you can also thumb through the albums of your music collection with a brief stroke of the finger.

Assistance systems You sit at the wheel. Others are working in the background. Most road accidents are caused by human error. Modern assistance systems can help to reduce their severity. Audi puts various different technologies to work to help you reach your destination safely. The assistance systems work closely together, which increases their versatility and performance – and makes your trip more comfortable at the same time.
Audi side assist*: The lane change assistant helps you to change lanes. From a speed of about 30 km/h, it monitors the area alongside and behind the vehicle. Radar sensors detect other vehicles and warn you through an LED display on the exterior mirror if there is a vehicle in your blind spot. * Optional equipment. Please note: The systems can only work within system limits. They can be of assistance, but drivers are still required to be attentive at all times.
Audi ultra About weight reduction 54 The demands placed on modern vehicles are contradictory. On the one hand, they must offer enhanced performance and comfort, on the other they need to be more economical and efficient. Audi ultra resolves this conflict by examining each and every component. We demand the highest functionality combined with the lowest possible weight.
The illustration shows the Audi A3 Sportback 1.6 TDI ultra. Audi A3 1.6 TDI ultra (81 kW 85 g CO₂/km) and Audi A3 Sportback 1.6 TDI ultra (81 kW 88 g CO₂/km) Specific technical measures in the vehicle such as weight reduction lead to lower fuel consumption and reduced CO₂ emissions compared with the other Audi A3 models.
TFSI® cylinder head with integrated exhaust manifold friction-reduced engine actuators for switching off cylinders 2 and 3 crankcase made of diecast aluminium intercooler integrated in the intake manifold Many hours of development. Thousands of miles of testing. And for what reason? 1.
Audi cylinder on demand in the TFSI engine. When the concentrated power of the four cylinders is not needed in the low and medium load range and when coasting, cylinders 2 and 3 switch off automatically. This means that no air is taken in, no fuel is injected and no exhaust-gas is emitted in these cylinders. The switched-off cylinders are reactivated the moment you accelerate and you have the full power of all cylinders at your disposal again. In just a few seconds you will understand why.
TDI® The injectors open and close in fractions of a millisecond and inject fuel several times into the combustion chamber at pressures of up to 2,000 bar. In some cases, an injection process can involve the injection of the tiniest of amounts weighing less than a thousandth of a gramme. Pre-injection results in a “gentle” combustion process and consequently excellent combustion acoustics and agreeable engine running characteristics.

Audi g-tron® The two lightweight high-pressure tanks at the rear of the Audi A3 Sportback g-tron can each store 7 kg of natural gas at up to 200 bar.
sturdy glass fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP) lightweight carbon reinforced plastic (CRP) gas-tight polyamide ® Audi g-tron Getting ahead. Ahead with less CO₂. Efficiency potentials can be exploited even more consistently through the intelligent combination of tried-and-trusted technologies with alternative fuels. The Audi A3 Sportback g-tron for example is the first standard Audi model to have a bivalent drive in the form of pioneering TFSI technology with CNG modification.
S tronic® S tronic: 2 single-plate clutches provide for a sporty dynamism and high efficiency.
What is the benefit of two clutches? A double saving: time and energy. The S tronic dual-clutch transmission enables quick gear changes with hardly any perceptible break in propulsive power and is therefore particularly efficient. As long ago as 1985, Walter Röhrl tested this technology in the Sport quattro S1 – and was suitably impressed. Audi drivers share his enthusiasm to this day, because the modern S tronic changes gear in a flash. To do this, two singleplate clutches serve the different gears.
quattro® Why only use two wheels when a car has four? The quattro® permanent all-wheel drive. Those who know Audi know quattro. And once you have driven with quattro, you do not want to drive with anything else. Why? Because this drive brings engine power to the road in such a convincing way. quattro is a permanent all-wheel drive.

Suspensions Dynamic. Comfortable. Superior. Your suspension shows plenty of character. The dynamic suspension in the A3 and A3 Sportback unites sporty agility and outstanding tracking stability with a high level of comfort when driving.

LED headlights LED headlights About lights <300 °C Conventional light bulbs reach temperatures of up to 300 °C. LED lights are more efficient despite greater light output, but due to their sophisticated technology they are somewhat more sensitive and should not get hotter than 150 °C. Because of the engine, the temperature of the area around the headlights is already around 120 °C. In theory, then, LED headlights would need an additional cooling system to be able to work.
