Today to talk about an Audi car, this model has many controversies, and even many people mistakenly think that this is a Chinese special model, that is, audi A3. In January of this year, sales broke out completely, with sales reaching 11,664 units, and the cumulative sales for the whole year of 2021 were only about 60,000.
In fact, the Audi A3 is not a Special Chinese model, although it and the Volkswagen Golf claim to be in the same vein, but it is indeed a global model. Of course, in order to target Chinese consumers, Audi manufacturers have thoughtfully designed sedan models, but in general, most of the purchases are still hatchbacks, because hatchbacks are more in line with the design of small steel cannons. Today we came to the store to experience a new generation of Audi A3, it is worth mentioning that we experienced the hatchback version, but also a very personal Navarra blue look.
Let's talk about the price first, the manufacturer guidance price of Audi A3 is 203,100 to 249,700 yuan, the new car is 2022 model, just listed in February this year, this model in the terminal preferential range is actually very good.
From the perspective of design, the overall shape of the Audi A3 is relatively sharp, I think there are earth-shaking changes compared with the old Audi A3, and the new model is similar to the height of the Audi A4L, especially the front face. The sharp headlights are equipped with hexagonal large mouth intake nets, and the excellent and obviously angular movement surround, this design sense must be able to impress the passion of young consumers.
From the side of the model, this is a typical hatchback. The wheel hub shape is really like a spinning blade. In order to further enhance the purchase confidence of young consumers, the Audi A3 is embellished with obviously prominent chrome trim in the edge skirt position, and the detail is also very polished, such as the wheel eyebrow part is the same color as the body.
Next, let's look at the design of the tail, the shape of the tail can be called the finishing touch of this Audi A3. The dagger-shaped taillights, the chrome exhaust pipes that are doubled on both sides, and the movement that echo the front of the car are surrounded, as if the original factory added a set of sports suits, creating a visual sense of "thick little farts" for us. In the body data section, the Audi A3 has a length, width and height of 4343/1815/1458mm, and a wheelbase of 2630mm.
Next, let's take a look at the interior design, I don't know if you have seen the old Audi A3 interior, it really seems to be the same as the 100,000 yuan Volkswagen interior, a large area of hard plastic, round and slippery chicken leg gear, people can not raise the slightest interest. But it is clear that the interior design of the Audi A3 after the upgrade is already worthy of the Audi logo. Why? Please take a look.
The interior of the new car adopts an irregular hierarchical design, and the sense of craftsmanship and artistic sense of shape is extremely strong. The embedded high-definition large screen, the high-definition driving computer screen and the staggered central console give us a sense of fashion technology, and I think it is more refined than when Audi and so on. The gear handle of the new car is shaped by a metal paddle, which is not only more textured, but also has a better feel. The sense of space in the car has also been greatly freed up, and it looks more open.
The seat is made of pure black leather design, in order not to look monotonous, Audi A3 uses a number of horizontal through-type white patterns to embellish, coupled with the two sides of the sporty wings, the sense of neatness is good, but the seat design is somewhat hard, and the support of the waist for a long time is insufficient.
As for the rear seat space, it is really general, and it will not be introduced too much here, and the overall riding comfort is not high.
The powertrain, the new Audi A3 is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, and the whole series is equipped with a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a peak torque of 250N·m, and the high and low power version has been cancelled. The transmission part is a seven-speed dry dual-clutch transmission, and the frustration is indeed there, but not obvious.
