The Audi A3 Sportback five-door hatchback in its third generation is built on the same modular MQB platform as all the latest Volkswagen Group innovations. The front suspension is made on MacPherson struts for any modifications, and the rear depends on the selected motor. With the initial engines, a torsion beam is placed behind, and in the charged versions there is an independent multi-link.
The sporty silhouette of the Audi A3 Sportback is complemented by the car's interior. The instrument scales received a gray background, and the leather steering wheel acquired a fashionable shape of a truncated circle. The developers tried very hard to reduce the weight of the machine, which is why the proportion of high-strength steels in the structure was increased to 26%. New soundproofing materials, lightweight seats and an aluminum hood made the car 80 kilograms lighter than the previous hatchback, and the new bogie allowed the car to add a little in size.
The length has grown by 18 mm (4310 mm), the width by 15 mm (1780 mm), and the height has increased by a symbolic 5 mm (up to 1425 mm). The wheelbase was extended by 58 mm, which made it possible to give more freedom to the legs of the rear passengers, who, by the way, can not be taken on a trip if the task is to increase the boot space from the base 380 to 1220 liters.
Ukrainians are available two gasoline (122 and 180 horsepower for 1.4 and 1.8 liters, respectively) and one two-liter diesel unit. All engines can be paired with a six-speed manual or Stronic robotic preselector.
According to Ingolstadt residents, the updated Audi A3 are the first in the C-class to have matrix LED headlights, which will be installed for a surcharge. And by default, xenon is now put on the "three rubles". Inside, there is a new three-spoke steering wheel with optional heating, an MMI multimedia system with a new menu and additional synchronization functions with smartphones, and induction charging for phones has appeared in the armrest. In addition, 2017 model year vehicles will be available with a fully digital 12.3-inch Virtual cockpit like the TT, Q7 and A4 models.
The complex of security systems has also undergone modernization. In particular, the A3 has a “cork” autopilot that works in conjunction with adaptive cruise control at speeds up to 65 km/h. Electronics controls the safe distance to the car in front, stops if necessary, and in combination with the "robot" also independently starts moving, keeping the car in a given lane. Also added to the list of options is the Emergency Assist function and a rear cross-traffic warning system, which is useful when parking perpendicularly.
Finally, the model's palette now includes 12 colors, including new shades of Ara and Cosmic blue, Nano gray, Tango red and Vegas yellow.
In addition, there were two changes in the engine range. To replace the initial 110 hp turbo four. came a three-cylinder 1.0 TFSI engine with a return of 115 hp. and a torque of 200 Nm. A 2.0 TFSI engine has also appeared, which develops 190 hp, and with it, a seven-speed “robot” S tronic with a wet clutch has become available for the A3 instead of a “dry” six-speed. The power unit of the “charged” S3 became 10 hp. more powerful and now produces 310 hp.
The 1.4 TFSI engine remained in service in a 150-horsepower version, as well as 1.6 TDI (110 hp) and 2.0 TDI turbodiesels (150 hp and 184 hp). The hybrid modification with a 1.4 TFSI engine (150 hp) and a 75-kilowatt electric motor, as well as the methane version of the g-tron with a 110-horsepower engine, remained unchanged. All versions except the S3 and 190-horsepower are front-wheel drive by default, and the quattro system is offered as an option for them.
