Audi A1

Audi's smallest car, the A1, codenamed GB by Audi, is the second and sadly, the final generation of the hatchback that the brand will produce. The current A1 was introduced locally in the third quarter of 2019, with three engine options, namely a 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol badged the 30TFSI, a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder badged the 35TFSI and a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder that wears the 40TFSI nomenclature. All of the engines are paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, however, of all of the engines, the smaller 1.0-litre three-cylinder has the lowest claimed fuel consumption with a figure of 4.8 L/100km.

 

Audi Q2

Audi's smallest crossover, the Q2 is sadly set to suffer the same fate as the A1, and will not be renewed when its model life is up in the coming years. The Q2 range is exclusively available with a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine that is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox claimed fuel consumption for the range is 6.1 L/100km.
 

Audi A3

The A3 is one of Audi's most successful global models, and the current generation is the best yet in terms of refinement, comfort, in-car technologies and efficiency. The current range comprises both Sportback and sedan variants along with two engines, namely a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox that is badged 35TFSI or a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox with 40TFSi on the bootlid. The most efficient in the range is the 35TFSI sedan model with a claimed consumption figure of 6.1 L/100km.

 

Verdict

Looking at the figures, Audi's most affordable new car, the A1, is the most efficient product in its range.
