More expensive than the Ford Focus or the VW Golf, the Audi A3 offered a roomy cabin with nice luxury touches. Sharing its platform with the VW Golf and the Seat Leon, the A3 was a better choice.
While the exterior design was very similar to the previous generation’s, the cabin was fitted with high-quality materials and advanced technology.
Visual updates included a redesigned front end with new headlights and larger air intakes, while at the back the A3 featured new stoplights and a slightly redesigned rear bumper.
The new model featured the Audi’s Virtual Cockpit with a 12.3-inch touchscreen display with loads of information to offer without distracting the driver.
The customers could connect their mobile devices using the integrated Android Auto or the Apple CarPlay systems. The optimised MMI controlled made everything easier to action.
To enhance utility, a wireless charging pad was placed under the armrest.
Practical to live with, the A3 offered a roomy cabin with enough head, leg and shoulder room for all of the occupants.
The cargo area was comparable to the VW’s Gold, with plenty of space for luggages.
The new 2016 model offered a choice of 6 engines, three gasoline and three diesel powerplants. The power ranged from 110 hp to 190, while all models compliant to the euro 6 standard.
