This is the best TT yet to drive- Top Gear

Under the hood of the 2021 Audi TT Coupe is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 engine that is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Together, the duo managed to churn out 228 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, which is actually lower than even the Audi A4 which has the same powertrain but has more power at 261 hp. That being said, the purpose of both cars is quite different and hence the 228 hp of the 2021 Audi TT seems more than enough for its size.

Driving the TT Coupe actually feels like a hot hatch. The suspension is actually quite firm but the sophistication of the suspension and the control of it is dealt with very effectively. If you opt for the stiffer sports suspension, it's never uncomfortable while the optional 19-inch wheels will allow you to feel more bumps though. Speaking of handling, the TT is very balanced and has better steering feedback than its rivals. So, particularly by sports car standards, the TT Coupe is a comfortable car indeed.

Acceleration is brisk and the 0-60 MPH sprint is covered off in just 5.2 seconds while the quarter-mile test is completed in 13.6 seconds. The top speed of the TT Coupe is electronically limited to 155 MPH. For a car like the TT Coupe with faster acceleration, strong brakes are much needed. Hence, the car comes fitted with 12.3-inch rotors at the front and 11.8-inch at the back. The brakes work in unison to obtain a braking distance of 103 feet when stopped from 60-0 MPH. 

The underpowered TT Coupe takes top honors on the table due to its light curb weight but retails at a higher price than its rivals. Among the rivals, the Mercedes Benz C-Class Coupe and the BMW 4 Series are the most powerful, however, the former manages to take the edge in both performance tests. The 241-hp Lexus RC 300 procures the last place and hence remains out in the rough.

The Audi TT doesn’t drink too much gas considering how fun it is- The Car Connection

In order to keep the offer lucrative for the buyers, the 2021 Audi TT Coupe comes with a fuel-efficient powertrain that manages to produce decent MPG figures. It offers 23 MPG in the city, 31 MPG on the highway, and 26 MPG combined. 

Despite respectable MPG figures, Audi has actually offered the 2021 TT Coupe with a smaller fuel tank of 14.5-gallons which allows you to cover an overall 377 miles in a combined form on a full tank. As a result, its rivals with a much bigger fuel tank delivers a good driving range. 

Compared to the others, the BMW 4 Series is the most fuel-efficient while the Mercedes Benz C-Class coupe actually underwent optimization and offers better MPG figures as compared to last year and hence occupies second place. The Audi TT manages to procure third place while the Lexus RC 300 is out in the rough with its lower MPG figures.

The interior of the Audi TT is an exercise in minimalism- Cars.USNews

The interiors of the 2021 Audi TT Coupe exude an elegant and graceful vibe whilst remaining minimalist. The four-seater gets Nappa leather upholstery as standard. Audi has prioritized comfort in the front seats. They are well-cushioned and the under-thigh support is also good. They can be adjusted in 12 directions while the driver's seat also gets 4-way power lumbar support. The flat-bottom leather steering wheel comes with the majority of the controls for the 12.3-inch Audi Virtual Cockpit digital driver display.

The rear seats are best left for backpacks, handbags, grocery bags, etc. This is because the head and legroom are ridiculously less and suitable for even kids. Trunk volume of 12 cu-ft. is offered in the TT Coupe which is better than what its rivals offer. This space might not be too much for being practical, it is still about enough to carry along one suitcase and 2 two duffle bags before it tops out. The rear seats fold flat, making it easier to store long items such as golf club bags. 

Of all the competitors, the BMW 4 Series offers the most well-rounded space in both rows while the Lexus RC 300 stuffs all of the spaciousness in the front part of the interiors. The Mercedes Benz C-Class Coupe also offers decent passenger space in this segment. Instead of providing a standalone infotainment system, the 2021 Audi TT stays minimalist and uses the 12.3-inch digital driver display to double back as the infotainment system as well. This system comes with the Audi MMI and Navigation, and the Audi Virtual Cockpit all-in-one which makes it a truly versatile unit.

The system is intuitive but is not touchscreen capable due to obvious reasons for accessibility. That being said, you can operate it through the multifunction steering wheel which blends in seamlessly. Other ways to operate it are Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto among others. To make up for the shortcoming, Audi has provided the 2021 TT with a Bang and Olufsen Sound System with 12 speakers that have a total output of 680 watts. That being said, the 2021 TT Coupe still manages to offer some great features. Some of the highlights are:

• Three-spoke multifunction flat-bottom sport steering wheel with shift paddles
• Dual-zone automatic climate control
• Power front sport leather heated seats 
• 12.3-inch Audi virtual cockpit screen
• 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen Sound System
• Android Auto and Apple Car Play
• MMI Navigation plus
• Wireless charging

The Coupe’s hatchback is part of a classic silhouette- Kelly Blue Book

The 2021 Audi TT Coupe has been styled remarkably ever since it underwent a facelift. The front looks gorgeous with the Matrix design LED headlamps and the blacked-out grille with the side air vents in the front bumper. Furthermore, you can even add your own flair to it by picking it up in the two standard colors, or the 7 metallic colors for $595, or even get custom color for $3,900. The TT Coupe has a decent ground clearance of 4.4 inches. Therefore, getting in and out of the vehicle wouldn't be an issue. However, its 98.6-inch wheelbase is really less compared to its rivals. This speaks for its cramped rear room.

Move over to the side, and the 18-inch wheels grant a certain stylish flair to it, and you can make it more dominating by upgrading to 19-inch wheels. The silhouette looks pretty similar to its distant corporate causing, the Porsche 911 Carrera, all thanks to the sloping roofline. The rear end of the TT Coupe looks equally stylish as the front and as it gets LED taillamps and looks remarkable as the roofline ends at the adaptive rear spoiler. Below it is the dual exhaust vent that remains subtly tucked in below the rear bumper near both ends, and grant the design a completely overhauled look.

When compared to the rest, the Lexus RC 300 is the heaviest and the most hugely built. It weighs almost 600 pounds more than the TT. The BMW 4 Series's wheelbase measures around 3 inches wider than the TT. Hence, its cabin feels roomier. On the other hand, the Mercedes Benz C-Class Coupe sits 0.9 much lower than the TT. This contributes to better handling and performance. The Audi TT is surprisingly the most compactly built despite its roundish exterior design that has stuck since the inception. The other notable features of the exteriors are:

• 18-inch 5-double-spoke dynamic design wheels
• Full LED headlights and DRLs
• Dual exhaust outlets with chrome tips
• LED daytime running lights
• Body-colored exterior side mirror housings
• LED taillights with dynamic indicators
• Electronically-controlled rear spoiler

Blind-spot monitoring is now included throughout- Autotrader

The 2021 Audi TT Coupe has not been tested by either the NHTSA or the IIHS and hence does not carry a safety rating yet.  To compromise for this, Audi has loaded eight airbags in the TT Coupe including dual front, side-impact, knee, and thorax airbags.   

Being a luxury sports car, the TT Coupe does not come with many advanced safety technologies. However, for the price it asks, it provides adequate safety and driver assistance features to keep you safe and sound while on the roads. Some of the highlight features of the safety suite are:

• Tire Pressure Monitoring System
• Anti-Theft Alarm System with motion sensor
• Rearview Camera
• Blind Spot Monitoring
• Front & Rear Parking Sensors
• 4-Wheel ABS with Emergency Brake Assist
• Traction & Stability Control

2021 Audi TT Coupe vs 2021 Lexus RC 300 Coupe 

The Lexus RC 300 is the cheapest offering in this segment. It produces 13 hp more than the TT and yet, it has the lowest numbers in both performance tests. The RX 300 also fails to provide good MPG figures like the TT. However, it can be appreciated for its front-row passenger space and a suite of top driver assistance systems as standard.

2021 Audi TT Coupe vs 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe

There is not much price difference between the Audi TT and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe but the power figures by 27 hp. Despite taking the lead in power, the C-Class could not overtake the TT in terms of acceleration and also has bad fuel efficiency. However, the C-Class wins some points when it comes to in-cabin space. The C-Class also earned respectable safety ratings and awards.

2021 Audi TT Coupe vs 2021 BMW 4 Series Coupe

The BMW 4 Series is priced nearly $4,000 less than the Audi TT and is equally powered as the C-Class. However, its agility falls shorter compared to the TT. The main winning point of the 4 Series is its fuel-efficient engine and a spacious cabin. The TT lacks in both these fields but offers better technological features. The 4 Series is ahead when it comes to advanced safety technologies.
