The cheapest new Audi car you can buy?! Can you still save 30,000? True value!

The ownership of Audi A3 in the Chinese market is not small, and its dynamic design and low entry threshold have won the favor of many consumers. Last year, the Audi A3 was upgraded, and now the models on sale have been updated to 2022 models, and the guiding price range is 20.31-24.97 million yuan.

This article focuses on the entry model of the Audi A3 Sportback series, the Sportback 35 TFSI Aggressive Sport, priced at 203,100 yuan. This is basically one of the cheapest models audi currently on sale, why is it "one"? Because the Sportback 35 TFSI Aggressive Elegance is priced the same as the Aggressive Sport, the difference between the two is that the latter comes with a sporty look kit.

The newly designed Audi A3 takes the sleek and dynamic level a step further, with a silver lattice trim inside the large hexagonal mid-mesh, and a bar decoration between the grille and the hood to match the sharp openings on both sides of the front, and the sports atmosphere is ready to come out.

The sharp shape of the headlamp has a strong Audi atmosphere, the light source is naturally LED, and the function also has LED daily running lights, automatic headlights, rain and fog mode, height adjustment and delayed shutdown function.

The side styling is harmonious and compact, and the waistline and side skirt line create a sense of movement. The side of the entry-level model is highly consistent with the high-end model, with a length, width and height of 4351/1815/1458mm and a wheelbase of 2630mm.

The 17-inch rim is a position where low-end models are easily exposed, and medium- and high-end models use 18-inch rims. This 17-inch double five-spoke contrast wheel is more stylish and the visual effect is not bad. The tires are in the Goodyear EAGLE F1 series with a size of 225/45 R17.

The rear is full of shape and the sharp taillights add to the dynamic atmosphere. The decorative grille on both sides of the rear encirclement echoes the front face, and the flat bilateral two-out exhaust is just decorative, and the true exhaust adopts a hidden layout of one-sided double out. Although it is an entry-level model, there is basically no "flaw" in the rear of the car, and the visual effect is maintained at the same level as that of high-end models.

In terms of appearance, this low-end model can basically sit on an equal footing with high-end models, but the rim size is small, and the visual perception is not inferior.

The avant-garde modern atmosphere of the new generation of Audi A3 interior is better than that of the previous generation, the center console adopts irregular shape, and the air conditioning outlets on both sides of the dashboard are definitely the finishing touch, with a strong fighting atmosphere. Leather multi-function steering wheel and paddle shifter are standard in the whole series, lcd instrument, central control screen and small electronic gear lever are also "not abandoned", the sense of quality is better.

The entry-level model full LCD meter is 10.25 inches, which can be upgraded to 12.3 inches for 4,000 yuan, and I personally think that 10.25 inches is very good. The dashboard interface is simple and clear, and general information such as driving data and multimedia audio can be displayed.

The 10.1-inch touch screen is standard for all series, and it integrates Functions such as Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Voice Assistant, Internet of Vehicles, and Vehicle Settings. The navigation function is optional for all series, and the price is 6500 yuan. In contrast, it is more cost-effective to spend 2500 yuan to select the reversing image, of course, the reversing image is only allowed to be selected for entry-level models, after all, other models have this function... Zone automatic air conditioner retains physical buttons, and the convenience of operation is not worried.

Although an entry-level model, the Sportback 35 TFSI Aggressive Sport model is well-placed with features such as an active safety system, fatigue driving tips, cruise control, exterior mirror heating and an electric trunk.

The appearance of fabric seats on the entry model is relatively reasonable, and the integrated sports modeling visually has a certain sporty atmosphere. The front seats are manually adjustable and the main driving position has adjustable leg rests. Spend 3,000 yuan to upgrade to a leather/fabric mix-and-match seat, and up to 9,000 yuan you can get a leather/flared material mix-and-match seat. The original factory has a good texture, and the later upgrade costs less money, how to choose to see the wallet.

The three rear seats all have headrests, while the air conditioning outlet, power connector, central armrest and cup holder are not absent, as is the central floor bulge.

The rear compartment of the Audi A3 is very flat and regular, and the conventional volume of the hatchback version is 356L, which can be expanded to 1100L after the rear seat backrest is reclined, and the practicality is excellent. In addition, the rear seat backrest supports reclining in 4/2/4 ratios, increasing the flexibility of the trunk space expansion.

We're all familiar with powertrains, and you've probably turned your back on it, but I'm going to repeat it! The EA211 series 1.4T turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 150 hp and a peak torque of 250 Nm, and the drivetrain is matched with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. After the EA211 EVO2 1.5T engine is introduced into production, the Audi A3 will be replaced with this new engine. In terms of suspension, the Audi A3 uses a combination of front McPherson + rear multi-link independent suspension.
