2017 Audi TT Roadster

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 TT Roadster.

Transmission Automatic (AM-S6)

The 2017 Audi TT Roadster is a compact, two‑seater convertible built on Audi’s modular platform and powered by the model’s standard inline‑four engine, which requires a 6.0‑quart oil capacity. It is equipped with Audi’s six‑speed automatic (AM‑S6) transmission, delivering the efficiency of 23 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and a combined 26 mpg according to EPA ratings. Positioned in the middle of the TT’s production run, the 2017 iteration benefits from the incremental refinements that have generally improved the line’s reliability record, making it a solid reference point for researchers examining the model’s durability trends.
