If you want to say which luxury brand compact car is the most cost-effective, it must have the name of FAW-Volkswagen Audi A3 on the list. Whether designed, configured, powered or handled, the Audi A3 is definitely a benchmark model in this segment. Recently, the car ushered in the annual small makeover, with minor adjustments to the detailed design and configuration to make it more competitive.
The 2022 FAW-Volkswagen Audi A3 launched a total of 12 models, priced at a price range of 203,110,000 to 249,700 yuan. The new car is divided into a hatchback version and a Limousline sedan version, and is available in two exterior styles, elegant and sporty, each with three models with different configurations. In terms of powertrain, the entire series is a power combination of a 1.4T engine + a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Next, we will recommend which model has the best price performance for you according to the configuration differences between models.
First, a brief description of the model
The overall style of the 2022 Audi A3 has not changed much, and it still continues the fashion and dynamic route, and the new family design style is radical and sharp, with strong lines and a strong sense of performance. Among them, the Sportback hatchback version has a short and sharp shape plus a sporty version of the S-LINE appearance kit, which is quite a bit of a small steel gun. At the same time, the spoiler at the top of the rear has been added to the cooling trough, and the details are more refined.
The sedan version of the Limousline version is also highly similar to the overseas version, and the short-upturned rear is just right, without any cumbersomeness. For domestic consumers, the sedan is still a favorite, but under the premise of maintaining the same price, the Sportback hatchback version of the model has more electric tailgates and high memory, which is obviously more practical.
The 2022 FAW-Volkswagen Audi A3 entry-level aggressive model, whether hatchback or sedan, is equipped with 17-inch rims and specific tire sizes of 225/45 R17. The rest of the models are 18-inch rims, and depending on the model configuration, there are also a variety of styles and colors, with specific tire sizes of 225/40 R18.
In terms of body color, the 2022 FAW-Volkswagen Audi A3 offers 12 body colors, namely Tango Red, Glacier White, Gotland Green, Atoll Blue, Hurricane Grey, Kanas Green, Manganese Black, Navarra Blue, Sky Cloud Grey and Shiraz Red. The more individual and sporty hatchback version is more suitable for bright atoll blues or tango reds, while the sedan Limousine models are more suitable for calm and sensual Gotland greens and Varana blues.
Interior design, Sportback and Limousine two versions are completely consistent, the center console adopts a modular layout, in addition to the functional areas through the sharp angle elements separated, the air conditioning outlet is also divided into two areas for the main driver and the co-driver, coupled with the full LCD instrument, the lever type electronic barrier and the 30-color interior mood light and other configurations of the interior atmosphere, creating a very high sense of technology visual effect. In addition, in addition to the two Type-C interfaces, a new USB interface has been added, and the multimedia system has increased the Internet of Vehicles function, which is undoubtedly more practical.
In terms of power, the 2022 FAW-Volkswagen Audi A3 series is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 110 kW and a peak torque of 250 N·m, and the matching transmission system is a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Second, the model configuration highlights and recommendations
The 2022 FAW-Volkswagen Audi A3 entry-level aggressive model configuration is very comprehensive, but in order to distinguish between high and low models, the seat material is still fabric, and it is not equipped with sunroof, active safety system, full-speed adaptive cruise and other functions, most of which can be obtained through optional installation on old models, but the new model cancels the optional option, which is also the main reason why the entry-level model is not recommended.
Third, the difference between the recommended model configuration analysis
In summary, the aggressive version of the 2022 FAW-Volkswagen Audi A3 entry has made some configurations impossible to select, which is not very friendly for consumers who want to buy the entry-level version and then personalize the selection, and it also relatively affects the cost performance of the entry-level model. The recommended fashion version of the model makes up for these deficiencies, and at the same time, compared with the entry-level model, there has been a great improvement in the configuration level, the most important of which is the addition of an electric sunroof, and the cruise system has also been upgraded to full-speed adaptive cruise.
Compared with the higher-level luxury version, in addition to the 12V power interface of the trunk that is not often used every day, the rest can be obtained through optional installation, such as only wanting to display a better 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, then only spend 4050 yuan to install the visual atmosphere upgrade equipment package, and even come with 30 colors of interior mood lights, which is much cheaper than the difference of 19,900 yuan.
Therefore, on the whole, the 2022 FAW-Volkswagen Audi A3 fashion model is more cost-effective, and the S-LINE kit that comes with the sports version looks more sporty than the Elegant version, and it is more in line with the model positioning of the A3. As for which of the sportback of the hatchback or the Limousine of the sedan can be chosen according to their own preferences or actual car needs, without too much entanglement.
