By tradition, a couple of the civilian version of the Audi A3 was a charged version of the Audi S3. Hatchback-based sedans have eaten a bald spot in the minds of outsiders, but Audi seems to have managed to create a car that, even with a rudimentary trunk extension, looks very good.
The basis for the new sedan was the platform of the five-door Audi A3 Sportback, the wheelbase of which, according to the passport, was increased by 1 mm. The increase in length is more noticeable. The four-door sedan was stretched to 4.45 meters, while the length of the hatch is only 4.31 meters. The volume of the trunk has also increased - 425 liters for the new sedan, 380 for the familiar five-door.
By the start of sales, the Audi A3 sedan will be equipped with one of three engines. A two-liter 150-horsepower diesel engine with 320 Nm of torque will accelerate the car to hundreds in 8.7 seconds. A smaller 1.4-liter gasoline turbo engine with 140 horsepower is capable of 250 Nm and acceleration to the first hundred in 8.4 seconds.
The third engine is a turbocharged 1.8-liter petrol unit with 180 horsepower and is ready to hit 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds. The range of gearboxes will not surprise connoisseurs of the brand - all cars are equipped with either a two-clutch seven-speed S tronic robot or a six-position mechanics.
The most evil Audi S3 sedan keeps 300 horses under the hood, ready to break to the first hundred in 4.9 seconds with a robot or 5.3 seconds with a manual. The sports version differs from the base sedan with a lowered and reconfigured suspension, large brake discs, an aerodynamic body kit and interior trim.
