What is miles per pound?

Fuel economy

A more stringent standard for fuel economy (WLTP) was introduced from September 2017, and this model was not required to undergo that test. Its fuel economy measured under the previous test system was 27 - 51 mpg. However these figures are less likely to be achievable in real world driving and so should never be compared to another car's mpg which was measured under the newer, more realistic WLTP system.

The claimed fuel economy figures are good for a sporty convertible (especially if you opt for the TDI which is capable of 51mpg) and service intervals are every 19,000 miles or two years – which is impressively long. The TT also holds on to its value well and is predicted to retain as much as 60% of its list price after three years but servicing can be expensive, especially at Audi dealerships.

As you’d expect, the TDI is the greenest model in the line-up – it emits 144g/km of CO2 and is capable of 51mpg. The 2.0 TFSI and TTS models are fairly good too, averaging 36mpg and 34mpg respectively – but the 3.2 V6 is thirsty with a fuel consumption figure of just 27mpg and CO2 emissions of 250g/km.

There were no major concerns or issues reported with the previous generation TT Roadster. Add in the fact that Audi has a reputation for solid build quality along with high levels of reliability and there is no reason to think that this generation of TT won’t be just as dependable.
