2010 Audi A3 TDI Pricing Announced

Audi has announced that the diesel-powered 2010 A3 TDI will start at $30,775 including destination. That chunk of change will get you a base front-wheel-drive A3 TDI with S Tronic, Audi's version of VW's DSG dual-clutch automated manual transmission.

The A3 TDI's 2.0-liter turbodiesel four is familiar from the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, where it makes the same 140 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque. With EPA estimates of 30 mpg city, 42 highway and 34 combined, the A3 TDI boasts the highest fuel economy in the luxury car category. It will be interesting to see whether this car sells well; the diesel-fueled BMW 335d hasn't exactly been flying off the shelves, but its base price is almost 50% higher.
