Design
Audi designers have
done an excellent job with their new A3 sedan giving it a semi-coupe
appearance. Mercedes has taken the same coupe tack with its new A-Class sedan,
it will be interesting to see what BMW does with its 1 Series.
The big three
German marques are certainly making life interesting with their continued push
into lower cost models, often at the expense of top-end models from more
affordable marques.
The interior of the Audi A3 Sedan is
characterized by impressive attention to detail. The lines and surfaces are
cleanly designed, and a long arc spans the width of the windshield. The
instrument panel with its curved front is slender, and the center console is
slightly turned towards the driver. The optional color display of the driver
information system (DIS) shows images in highly detailed 3D graphics.
Starting with the MMI Radio system, the MMI
operating system has an electrically extending screen. Its terminal is housed
in the console of the center tunnel. The electromechanical parking brake is activated
by a pushbutton.
The steering wheel has either three or four spokes, depending
on the version. The customer can also order the steering wheel with a flat
bottom, multifunction keys and shift paddles. Audi can also install sport seats
in the front as an option. They are standard in the Ambition line, where S
sport seats with integrated head restraints are available as an option.
Like its siblings in the model series, the Audi
A3 Sedan makes use of the new modular infotainment system (MIB). The top system
is MMI Navigation plus with an SSD hard drive offering 64 GB of storage, a DVD
drive and whole-word voice control. A high-resolution 7-inch-screen shows the
map image in detailed 3D graphics.
The MMI Navigation plus system interfaces to
cell phones and mobile players via Bluetooth. The user terminal has a turn/push
control designed as a "touchwheel" with MMI touch - the touchwheel's
top surface is a touch-sensitive pad for inputting letters, symbols and
numbers.
Other infotainment components include a module
for digital radio reception (DAB+), the Audi phone box for conveniently
coupling a cell phone to the car antenna and the Bang & Olufsen sound
system. Its 705 watt amplifier drives 14 loudspeakers in 5.1 surround sound,
and LED light guides illuminate the woofer grilles in the front doors.
For exterior, the four-door car has a 2.64 meter
(8.66 ft) long wheelbase and an overall length of 4.46 meters (14.63 ft).
Above the side sills, the dynamic line rises more
sharply than on the other two A3 models. The side surfaces are more intensively
curved, and the wheel arches are slightly more flared. With a width of 1.80
meters (5.91 ft), the A3 Sedan is eleven mm (0.43 in) wider than the A3
Sportback; its height (1.42 meters [4.66 ft]) is still nine mm (0.35 in) lower
than that of the Sportback.
The four-door car also expresses independent
lines in the contour of its hood, in the bumpers, air intakes and its
implementation of the singleframe grille. At the rear, the spoiler is
integrated in the trunk lid, and the lights emphasize the car's horizontal
lines with their broad and low cuts.
LED technology is available as an option.
Audi will also be offering full-LED headlights right at market launch - their
innovative technology and distinctive appearance underscore the exceptional
positioning of the Audi A3 Sedan.
Engine
The engines bring together efficiency
technologies from Audi - direct fuel injection, turbocharging, innovative
thermal management and the start-stop-system. The line-up of engines and
transmissions will grow further, and will include two new basic engines.
The 2.0 TDI produces 110 kW (150 hp) and develops
320 Nm (236.02 lb-ft) of torque. It accelerates the Audi A3 Sedan from 0 to 100
km/h (62.14 mph) in 8.7 seconds and takes it to a top speed of 220 km/h (136.70
mph). Its combined fuel consumption is 4.1 liters per 100 km (57.37 US mpg) -
for a CO2 equivalent of 108 grams per km (172.20 g/mile).
Key performance parameters of the 1.4 TFSI are
103 kW (140 hp) and 250 Nm (184.39 lb-ft). At low engine load, the COD
(cylinder on demand) system deactivates two cylinders. The 1.4-liter engine
gives the car a combined fuel consumption of just 4.7 liters fuel per 100 km
(50.05 US mpg); its CO2 emissions are 109 grams per km (175.42 g/mile). It
takes just 8.4 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62.14 mph), and the car's
top speed with this engine is 213 km/h (132.35 mph).
The 1.8 TFSI produces 132 kW (180 hp) and 250 Nm
(184.39 lb-ft) of torque. It utilizes an extensive package of high-end
technologies, including dual injection into the combustion chambers and the induction
manifold.
It enables sporty performance, taking 7.3 seconds for the standard
sprint to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) and reaching a top speed of 235 km/h (146.02
mph). Its combined fuel consumption is 5.6 liters per 100 km (42.00 US mpg),
equivalent to 129 grams CO2 per km (207.61 g/mile).
