Audi TT review – MPG and running costs

The Audi TT isn’t a hugely cheap car at entry level spec, but it does deliver savings in fuel economy and road tax

from £36,365

So while a powertrain as flat and uninteresting as the EA888 might not blip the enthusiasts’ radar, its relative efficiency is a welcome side effect. 194bhp models will crack a very achievable 40mpg on the WLTP cycle, with the 242bhp models slipping just below that. CO2 ratings are also pretty promising at 154g/km and 182g/km, respectively. 

The standard-fit seven-speed DSG is partly the source of these strong efficiency numbers, but so too is the surprisingly lithe 1270kg weight of the front-wheel drive models. Quattro models add a further 90kg or so to the total.

A TT should otherwise be no more taxing to run financially than an Audi A3, with little in the way of exotic materials or high-stress components, short of the rubber band-like 30-profile of the 20-inch tyres that are standard on some trim levels.
