Is buying an Audi A3 to buy a "Phoenix"?

Is it just for the sake of face to buy entry-level models of luxury brands? For many consumers who have limited budgets but love Audi, Audi A3 is also a very good choice, with a starting price of 203,100 to 249,700 yuan. Is it worth buying? Let’s take a look.

Appearance

In addition to the difference between hatchback and sedan, the new A3 has two design styles, sporty and elegant, showing youthful vitality. The polygonal air intake grille and the black honeycomb grille look very sharp and sporty. The shape of the front face is sharp and it looks to have a certain visual impact, especially the shape of the headlights, which is highly recognizable. The tail shape is also fashionable and novel, and the "duck tail" design on the rear trunk can precisely cater to the avant-garde demand of young consumers.

interior

The interior space of the car is still designed by the Audi family. The outline of a large number of straight lines and planes, and the combination of the large central control screen and the LCD instrument highlights the full sense of technology. There are not many control buttons at the bottom of the screen, and most of the functions have been integrated into the central control screen. This design is also more inclined to the aesthetics of young people and their yearning for future technology. The new car center console is equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, and also uses a 10.1-inch in-cell touch screen. And it supports wireless Apple CarPlay and other interconnection functions.

Power

It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 150 horsepower. In terms of transmission, it will be matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The small gear paddles are used to switch from P gear to DNRS gear,On the contrary, you only need to press the P gear button. The control logic is very simple. This model is equipped with front side airbags, front and rear head air curtains, knee airbags, tire pressure alarm, body stabilization system, and rear parking. Radar, sport mode switching, engine start-stop technology uphill assistance, automatic parking, aluminum alloy wheels, but what makes me less satisfied is that this low-profile model uses fabric seats.

Summary

Compared with the current model, there are two biggest changes. The styling design and the increased wheelbase, the former is fashionable and trendy, and the latter focuses on practicality. Provide passengers with a more comfortable and spacious seating space to meet the needs of small families and families, and give the Audi fans a sense of freshness. But there is one thing, the rear space of this model is not very good, sitting three adults will appear particularly crowded.
