Audi A3 Sportback S Line 2020 Test Drive Review POV

Audi A3 Sportback S Line 2020 Test Drive Review POV.
he new Audi A3 Sportback features compact proportions and a sporty design. The wide Singleframe and large air inlets at the front end accentuate the dynamic character of the premium compact car. The shoulder of the body extends in a smooth line from the headlights to the rear lights. The surface below is curved inward - a new element of Audi’s design that puts a stronger emphasis on the wheel arches. The digital daytime running lights of the Matrix LED headlights are a further innovation. They consist of a pixel array made up of LED segments in a three by five arrangement that create special light signatures and make the A3 immediately recognizable. The sporty and sophisticated design is continued in the interior with the new shifter, aluminum or carbon inlays, striking door openers and an instrument panel with a black-panel look. Seat upholstery made of recycled PET bottles and adorned with stylish contrasting stitching are being used for the first time.
The cockpit of the A3 Sportback is wholly focused on the driver. It uses familiar elements from the brand’s full-size models and is equipped with a 10.1-inch touch display as standard, which is integrated into the center of the instrument panel. This recognizes letters entered by hand, provides acoustic feedback and can be controlled using natural language. The instrument cluster, which the driver operates via the multifunction steering wheel, is also digital as standard. The Audi virtual cockpit offers additional functions such as a large display of the navigation map. The plus version measures 12.3 inches and offers three different views, including graphics with a sporty look. A head-up display that projects important information onto the windshield in color can be installed upon request.
The MMI operating concept is powered by the new third generation modular infotainment platform. Its computing power is ten times higher than that of its predecessor, it performs all tasks relating to connectivity, including telephony and the Audi connect services with LTE Advanced speed, and also has an integrated Wi-Fi hotspot.
Individual settings can be stored in up to six user profiles - from climate control and the seat position to frequently selected navigation destinations and frequently used media. The DAB+ digital radio is included as standard and the online or hybrid radio is available as an option. Route guidance is even easier and more flexible. For example, the navigation offers predictions on the development of the traffic situation, high-resolution satellite images from Google Earth and detailed 3D models of many major European cities. Audi connect enriches points of interest with photos, opening hours and user reviews. The connect services also include the car-to-X services. They help with finding free parking spots on the roadside or allow the driver to surf the green wave by communicating with traffic lights. The A3 Sportback is connected to the smartphone via the myAudi app, Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, as well as via the Audi phone box. The latter connects the device to the car antenna and charges it inductively. The Audi connect key, which authorizes the customer to lock and unlock the car and start the engine via their Android smartphone, and Amazon Alexa will follow shortly after the market launch.
The new Audi A3 Sportback is being launched in Europe with a choice of three engine versions - a 1.5 TFSI with 110 kW (150 PS) (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km: 5.1 - 4.8*; combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 116 - 111*) and a 2.0 TDI that delivers 85 kW (116 PS) (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km: 3.6 - 3.5*; combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 96 - 92*) or 110 kW (150 PS) (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km: 3.9 - 3.7*; combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 103 - 98*). All engines impress with their powerful torque and sophisticated running characteristics. The engine versions at start of production will be combined with front-wheel drive. Power will be transmitted by a six-speed manual transmission or the quick-shifting seven-speed S tronic, the selector lever of which is now designed as a compact shifter.
The new A3 Sportback offers more space and functionality combined with compact external dimensions. Measuring 4.34 meters (14.2 ft) in length and 1.82 meters (6.0 ft) in width without the mirrors, the premium compact car has grown by just over three centimeters (1.2 in) compared with its predecessor. The height of 1.43 meters (4.7 ft) and the wheelbase of 2.64 meters (8.7 ft) remained unchanged. Depending on the position of the rear bench seat, the luggage compartment holds between 380 (13.4 cu ft) and 1,200 liters (42.4 cu ft), and the loading floor can be inserted at different heights. An electric tailgate, which can also be controlled with a foot motion, is available upon request.

I just love how audi design their interior and exterior with that simplicity and elegance.

[@SDADanCars]

Yes agree

[@thirst4petrol537]

Iv reviewed this one in atoll blue which looks so good on the car. Check it out on my channel and tips on how to review my future reviews are always welcome :)

[@michaelgoh5830]

The seats are super comfortable in the Audi A3 Sportback, I had driven from Melbourne to Sydney (9 hour one-way) on a couple of occasions in my 2018 Audi A3 and never had I felt tired at the end of each trip. The heated leather seats are electrically adjustable and with full lumber supports. Overall, my 2018 A3 Sportback is a fantastic little hatchback. The new 2020 A3 looks even more amazing, both exterior and interior. I would prefer this Audi A3 to the MB A class anytime.

[@maxmorris4562]

Has it been reliable? Also, would you recommend one over a Corolla?

[@michaelgoh5830]

@@maxmorris4562 I have had this car for more than 5 years now, it has served me well with very little or no mechanical problems. I have since taken 2 more road trips from Melbourne to Sydney, each road trip (900 Ks) with a full tank of petrol without the need to refill along the way. The cylinders on demand (cod) technology helps to return a consumption of less than 5L/100Ks. Unlike the A3 Sportback, the Corolla hatch feels claustrophobic for the rear passengers and has a small boot, which I suspect would not fit a collapsible child stroller. No such problems with the A3. The upsides with the Corolla hatch are, it is cheaper to purchase and probably costs less to maintain over the long run.

[@parth_0521]

@Max Morris Hi, which one is good option? I m also confused between corola and a3

[@kleallen]

I think you feel obligated to say it's a fantastic and phenomenal car !

A quick question when you on a hill and let go of the brake pedal does the car start rolling back or do you have that few seconds to hit the gas pedal before it starts rolling back?

[@SDADanCars]

You will have a few seconds. It has "hill assist" and if the car have "auto hold" button then after you press brake it will stay there forever 🙂👍until you press acceleration

Almost Porsche Price and plastic everywhere.. yikes! * My Dad had a GTD,5Years old, Dsg was completly done after 50k kilometres... 50k!!!* (Asking VAG if they could help us,jep,10% less cost on repair) My brother had almost the same Car just as a Gti,Motor engine done,after 40k... came slowly,first Oil consumption went up crazy.. then Cylinders damaged Now me with S1,quite the same car,crackles in the Door,speakers are fake,doors not in good Quality,as same as the Navigation (400euro for an 15min update,okay?). Im laughing and crying,when I see the new A1,still Halogen,in 2021.... Btw,just watch the Opel Astra,then you know where they got the Interieur from ( Actually Selling my S1 for that Car).
