Let’s get to know the 2022 Audi A3 sedan in detail with help of images -
The sedan makes a bold statement with its wider and planted stance. The front profile is kitted with a large Singleframe grille with a new honeycomb finish, which is edged by refreshed LED headlights giving the front fascia a sharper and more purposeful look.
Adding to the sedan’s athletic impression are more sculptured, muscular flanks, and 17-inch 5-parallel-spoke style alloy wheels wrapped in 225/45 R17 tyres.
The roofline of the sedan slopes down from the B-pillar dynamically, lending it a coupe-like shape. At the same time, the body line is extended all the way to the rear bumper, emphasising the car's length and creating an exquisite impression at the back.
The higher rear end along with a large diffuser adds to the lower drag coefficient values, which also results in lower fuel and CO2 emissions.
Also present at the rear is a powered, hands-free boot allowing the opening and closing of the vehicle's liftgate with a sensor.
The eight exterior shades on the new A3 colour palette are Turbo Blue, Ibis White, Mythos Black, Glacier White, Navarra Blue, Tango Red, Python Yellow, and Daytona Grey.
Hop inside the intuitively designed cockpit of the revamped sedan and you will be welcomed by the elegant and uncluttered dashboard. The latter combines advanced technology with timeless design and offers all the required controls and vehicle functions within easy reach.
Among the main components are the Audi virtual cockpit and a multi-functional leather-wrapped steering wheel paired with S Tronic transmission and shift paddles.
As for the occupant’s infotainment needs, the sedan gets a 10.1-inch MMI touch colour display mated to an all-new modular infotainment platform (MIB 3), which is ten times more powerful than the predecessor in terms of computing power. The system supports smartphone connectivity via the Audi smartphone interface, integrating Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The seats of the sedan are wrapped in Nappa leather upholstery and feature the variant-specific ‘S’ logos. Adding to the convenience is power-adjustability for the front sport seats.
Under the hood of the Malaysia-spec Audi A3 lies a 2.0-litre inline-four turbocharged petrol mill which cranks out a maximum power of 190 PS from 4,180 rpm to 6,000 rpm and a peak torque of 320 Nm between 1,500 rpm and 3,990 rpm.
The power is sent to the front wheels with a 7-speed S Tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission, which is coupled with an Audi Drive Select offering some level of customisation for the preferred drive experience.
The sedan is equipped with a fully independent suspension comprising MacPherson front struts and a rear Multilink unit with central dynamic handling. It ensures optimal interaction between all the components to the transverse dynamics while offering a sporty and harmonious ride, explains Audi.
In terms of safety and advanced driver assistance features, the new Audi A3 features lane departure warning, Park assist with parking aid plus, tyre pressure monitoring system, ISOFIX, top tether for outer rear seats, and more.
Alongside launching the new A3, Audi Malaysia has also opened bookings for the high-performance model, the RS 3 Sedan, at a price range of RM 650,000 - RM 750,000. It will come equipped with exclusive RS styling and a 2.5-litre inline 5 turbo engine enabling the sedan to complete the century sprint in 3.8 seconds.
You can now check out the new A3 in person or book the new RS 3 at your preferred authorised Audi Centre located in Setia Alam, Glenmarie, or Juru.
