Recently, some overseas media exposed the price of the new Audi A3 in the British market, of which the starting price of the Sportback model is 28,920 pounds, equivalent to about 264,600 yuan, and the starting price of the sedan version is 29,485 pounds, equivalent to about 269,800 yuan. At present, the official guide price of the FAW-Volkswagen Audi A3 series on sale in the domestic market is 203,100-251,300 yuan. As a mid-term facelift model, the new car will be upgraded and optimized in terms of appearance, interior, and configuration
In terms of appearance, the new car adopts a newly designed front grille with a twill grille. The size of the heat dissipation openings on both sides of the front bumper has also been increased, further enhancing the overall sporty appearance of the front end. The spoiler at the bottom adds a body-coloured vertical connection. The lower grille at the front of the regular model is complemented by black trim on both sides, creating a visual effect that runs through.
The new Audi A3 has not changed much on the side, and the most obvious change is still the design of the lamp group, the new A3's taillight liner adopts a dot matrix design, and the arrow-style lamp group is highly recognizable after being lit.
Of course, the biggest change is that in addition to the regular hatchback and sedan models, the allstreet version has been added, and the main thing is a crossover style, which adopts the front and rear surrounds of the current A3 and the front grille style, which slightly weakens the sporty atmosphere. At the same time, the chassis has been raised and the tyres have been enlarged, so that the ground clearance has been increased by 30 mm, giving it a more crossover look.
In terms of the interior, the overall changes of the new car have not changed, and some design details have been adjusted, such as the new style of multi-function steering wheel and the shift mechanism is more compact. The shape of the air conditioning vents has also been fine-tuned, and the color of the interior ambient lighting has been upgraded to 30 colors. The new Audi A3 overseas version of the model is equipped with LCD instruments and a 10.1-inch central control screen as standard, and the new car machine system supports more applications, and the official says that its voice interaction ability has also been improved. In terms of assisted driving, the car has driving functions such as collision warning, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and lane change assistance.
In terms of power, the overseas version of the new Audi A3 is available in three power versions: 30 TFSI, 35 TFSI and 35 TDSI. Among them, the 30 TFSI is equipped with a 1.0T three-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 109 horsepower and a peak torque of 220 Nm. The 35 TFSI is powered by a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 148 hp and a peak torque of 250 Nm. The 35 TDSI is equipped with a 2.0T diesel engine with a maximum power of 148 hp and a peak torque of 360 Nm.
Overall, the new car is younger and sportier, and there is a crossover allstreet version, which has won more attention from consumers, and whether the news about the introduction of the new Audi A3 into China will have to be revealed later. In the domestic market, if this kind of small-displacement entry-level fuel vehicle can have a more affordable cost performance, it is estimated that it is expected to be more favored by the market.
