The Audi A3 TDI has been named the Green Car of the Year for 2010. As fuel efficiency becomes more and more of an important factor for car buyers, car manufacturers around the world are competing to make their cars as low on fuel consumption as possible. Added to this concern is the impact of cars on the environment. The carbon emissions needs to be as low as possible, and being “Green” has become more and more important.

Audi A3 TDI sets example in luxury class

The prize was given to the Audi A3 TDI during the Los Angeles Auto Show. What makes the award even more impressive is that the Audi A3 TDI is in the luxury class, which is not necessarily a class that often takes too much notice of fuel consumption.

The Audi A3 TDI has a highway mpg rating of 42 which makes it the best fuel efficiency of any luxury car in America. It maintains these impressive stats while still being fun and sporty and incredibly popular among new and second-hand buyers.
