Audi A3 TDI Wins 2010 Green Car of the Year Award
the Audi A3 TDI achieves its "clean diesel" status through advanced tuning of its 2.0 liter powerplant. Unlike larger diesels in the U.S. market, no downstream urea injection is required. According to the government's Model Year 2010 Green Vehicle Guide, the Audi A3 TDI is certified at the federal Tier 2 Bin 5 level.
The other four finalists in the GCJ competition included another diesel, the 2010 Volkswagen Golf TDI, and three hybrids, the 2010 Honda Insight, 2010 Mercury Milan Hybrid (sibling of Ford's Fusion Hybrid) and 2010 Toyota Prius.
