The new Audi A3 1.6 TDI Ultra is now available, with CO2 emissions down to a new low of 89g/km for the hatchback range.
The new model also boasts combined fuel economy of 83.1mpg in both three-door and five-door Sportback versions. The three-door gets from 0-62mph in 10.5sec, while the Sportback takes 10.7sec. Both have an official top speed of 124mph.
The A3 Ultra models come with low-rolling-resistance tyres on five-spoke 16in alloy wheels and sports suspension as standard. To aid its focus on economy, several items of equipment are not available even as an option. A tyre-inflation kit replaces the space-saver spare wheel while neither a panoramic glass sunroof or a tow bar are offered on the economy-focused model.
The A3 1.6 TDI Ultra SE and SE Technik models take the place of the 1.6 TDI SE and SE Technik models, while the Sport and S line versions remain unchanged.
Pricing for the new Ultra models starts at £20,865 - a £40 increase over the outgoing non-Ultra version. The SE Technik starts at £21,615 while the Sportback version of both trims adds £620 to the price.
