With the leds that are configurable, well either choose between 3 or 4 options, it would be great if they were truly configurable. There should be a menu on the screen where you can choose which lights you want illuminated as a custom pattern. That should be easy to do via software.

The problem is not that they cannot do it. They don’t have this free configuration of the signature yet because of the regulations

[@fstrs12345]

From a current A3 8Y owner I think the best upgrade is the fact that they have made the cupholders adaptive again, which they should have left adaptive to beg in with. The rest is nice to have.

[@Horizon301.]

They aren’t even cupholders in the current 8Y, just holes. The cost cutting is insane, maybe they can stop using thr cheap VW carpets also

[@jonathan_careless]

Wild to see the Audi Rings move half outside the top of the grill! Never seen that before.

[@AndrewTSq]

I wonder if the rings are only mounted on the plastic grill, and just lay over the body... so it gets dirty under the rings easily? Or if they have glued that top part on hte body.. very wierd anyway, should have done like the TT instead if they really needed to move them.

[@stealthhtm23]

ugly design. looks like a very unpopular mustache

[@MagicFamily2000]

I prefer the pre-lift grill

[@luxpremium5714]

Coming from a 2023 A3 owner in the Canadian market the updated facelift is exactly what you described it: a light refresh. The only real difference I see is the new matrix LED ad-on which I also think 3 choices is too much to give the consumer. It is nice to have a matrix option but I would've stuck with matrix and the mid LED. In terms of interior cloth materials I'm guessing the Cad and American markets will be getting leather only as A3 is more in the premium price range here and we don't really get the choice of smaller hp or diesel variants. So if they basically stuck to leather then the only difference really is the headlights. I really do wish audi offered a more premium material in some of the plastic lower parts of doors and side walls of where the shifter area is. The whole interior feels very good quality except for that and the piano black. I think if they change that then the A3 is the perfect vehicle for that size segment.

[@petejr7583]

Casual sporty Thomas 😎. Nice review dude! This new A3 design is an attractive evolution; I like the more aggressive bulbous fenders, even have them on base A3. Looking forward to the RS3 and would prefer the Sportback/hatchback for the US also. Really like this interior design, much better than the stuck-on big surfboard with all touchscreen. Hopefully something similar will come with the next gen B10 A5 series. Audi please keep the real buttons and switches..snick-snick!

[@Explosivo93]

It looks decent, apart from the new Audi rings position at the front. Looks really weird. The interior got its well needed upgrade, but to be honest for me that's still not "Audi enough". The old A3 was definitely feeling more premium on the inside.

[@AndrewTSq]

if they really needed to move the ring, they should have put them like on the latest TT, not halfway up, cause that feels like someone moved something by mistake in the cad, before saving and sending to the manufactoring.

[@ziobriscolatm]

Needed upgrade? I can't see a single change from the previous model. Maybe you are still in the 2019? 🤔

[@mauricetoussaint7283]

@@ziobriscolatm Look harder, there are changes. I have a 2023 RS3 and the interior has rattles and there's some really cheap plastics, the face lift I see has some if those parts changed, also Sonus sound system, not B&O. The latter is really poor in my car and Sonus, even worse, cost cutting... All Audi models below A4 are getting more like Fords than Audis.

[@ziobriscolatm]

I only see a new shifting lever (I don't like it that much) and the fabric insert on the dash (orrible) so no more LED running from left to right? I did a screenshot of the interior and compared it with my A3. Same lines, same buttons, same seats, same displays... Same doors. The Audio system is less premium on paper, but you never know if the badge really reflects the quality. It can be just marketing

[@1mpulv]

Physical AC controls, it's a steal for me

[@stephenhunt6673]

Good review thx Thomas. What is don't like is the new interior feels somewhat "plasticky" compared to the pre-digital screen generation, especially the plastic "dicky switch" masquerading as a gearshift lever. My wife has a 2016 A3 with a proper S-Line gearshift made from milled alloy. The RS etron GT also has the same cheap looking plastic "dicky swtch" - it doesn't belong on such an expensive car. PS: that colour is not District Green, it's another green. I enjoy your reviews. 😊

[@R8V10forsale]

I have a SQ2 at the moment and would definitely like the Allstreet in the uk as a replacement. The A4 Allroad was one of the best and most comfortable cars I’ve owned and the extra travel and more supple suspension would really work on the roads in the UK

[@shroomyesc]

I saw press photos of a non s-line version of the facelift, and that looked very handsome indeed. At least on that one it's nice that they've reduced the size of the front grille area and removed the fake vent lines from above the grille. Unfortunately that same article mentioned that dual climate control and high beam assist will be subscriptions with the new A3.

[@carcapone6455]

I see on sline they got rid off the side sline badges the back red badge looks weird on a A3 I would remove that but interior lighting looks really good I wish they bought back the gear shifter from the 8V

Come on Audi bring the Allstreet to the U.K. 😢 I would definitely like to try that here

[@KStarStrikez18]

All Street not available in the U.K. is a crime! Would’ve preordered immediately…

[@AndrewTSq]

The facelist looks like the old one, but the front is a bit worse cause of the Audi rings being that far up. The Allstreet.. why? Just get a Q3 instead? THanks for the review anyway :) Would also love to see a base modell of the new A3, to see what is extras? If I remember correctly many things here is extra on the old A3 aswell, like adaptive cup holder, head up display and so on. I get irritated that some functions exists on my A3 but I have to pay extra to unluck the software (like adaptive cruisecontrol, if you do not pay, you only get a warning you are too close to the car infront.. which is based from the radar....)

[@HitaarthBhutani]

[@joscejrod]

A1 allstreet has almost 0 success. Let’s see in A3 version… Regarding the facelift, I can’t understand so many months of development with camouflaged cars to finally show this car with the same interior and only minimal changes outside. Really disappointed with Audi this time!

[@vakula485]

As owner of A3 pre-facelift model, I would say there is no major differences or improvements.

[@mauricetoussaint7283]

Yep, mostly window dressing. B&O system in my 2023 RS3 is crap, so now they go even lower with Sonus. It's all about reducing manufacturing cost and then they'll up the price for us.

[@johnley3243]

Why ca't we have the Allstreet in the uk?

[@Ostap1974]

A3 is my absolute favorite VAG car for last few years. I would be a potential client for A3 Allstreet if it came with Quattro. By the carefully chosen naming, I guess there are no such plans however.

[@phileagle8432]

I think Audi have missed a trick not having the Allstreet in the UK. This would be a good quality alternative to many baby SUV’s and works well with our smaller roads and parking spaces. It’s also unique as would be a competitive option vs BMW and Mercedes. It’s like the old Volvo V40 XC and I think would have been popular in the uk

[@aaaaplay]

I'm a Skoda Octavia Mk4 owner and I can't help but notices some odd omissions. Like the lack of flock lined door bins and no sliding cover on the cupholders. Considering the hierarchy has generally been Octavia < Golf < A3, it's just odd. I also know these are small things but, the rest of the A3 is pretty similar to the Golf and Octavia.

In skoda they call it bad roads pack. It increases the ground clearance and adds some protection underneath the car. I'd love this to be available in the standard a3. The city version looks bad. Focus active had better fenders with less angles thus seeming more elegant. I'd want to have the standard a3 design with the option to go with 3cm/5cm higher ground clearance.

Thanks for the quick review. Currently waiting for my A3. I was a bit hesitant to order it or to wait for the facelift but honestly speaking the pre-facelift looks much better and looks like that was a good choice. This weird new logo on the front along with the cheap looking grill and slightly different lights signature? Almost zero changes on the inside? Common Audi, even facelifted Golf has more changes with updated front and far better interior! Disappointing facelift.

[@jean-baptisteferrari1688]

Me too but I think it's over. Too polluting?

[@fabiofranchini5752]

Dear Thomas, great review as usual but would you fancy clarify me a thing if it doesn’t bother you? Why you cal synthetic materials leatherette that is actually plastic and in the meantime you call real leather animal skin? As I’m sure you already know Leather is a product derived from transformation processes of animal skins while synthetic materials are a derivative of plastic/ petroleum chemical transformations or recycling. That is a bit confusing for general viewers. It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos!

[@autogefuehl]

Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. I also bought cars with animal skin leather seats before I did my research and got to know the industry. The most important thing is: With today's modern materials, you have nothing to lose, just to gain. You achieve the same kind of luxury and comfort or even better while having the same or better durability with less impact on humans, animals and the environment. You can use fabric/cloth, microfibre or leatherette. The classic approach is using oil/plastic as source material. Overall, a vehicle contains about 300 kg plastic. A car seat needs about 5 kg plastic. So the overall plastic share for the seats is very low and it is at this moment the most efficient way to produce a car seat. A couple of litres of fuel equals a car seat basically. So if you want to save oil/plastic, rather look at consumption for energy, fuel and heating and to other car parts than the seat. Note that animal skin leather also always contains a plastic coating for durability. However, long-term we should of course find raw oil alternatives. So going further, seats can be made from recyclables (e.g. from PET-bottles or old fishing nets) or even increased share of plant-based materials (like pine oil, canola oil or start-up materials like Pinatex from pineapple leaves or Desertex from cactus fibre or the mixed-plant-based Mirum, so be seen at kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWLEf42bpMano6c). On a calculation base, by ditching animal skin leather from car interiors, the amount of emissions (CO2e) is reduced by 85 (!) % (www.press.bmwgroup.com/africa-dom-easteurope/article/detail/T0403389EN/on-the-market-from-2023:-bmw-and-mini-models-with-vegan-interiors?language=en) - and that is a very conservative calculation. So it is at this moment the most important thing you can do to make car interiors more sustainable. A good example for high-end luxury with ventilated animal free seats is the BMW X7 with Sensafin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6G1f56NbtOlqNk And the Kia EV9 with plant-based oil share: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKe7loOHnsSAd80 New leatherette materials can be superior in every aspect, even for cleaning: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2qXiouAbJeIiqM More and more natural materials are rising: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIO2pIt7o9x7etE Also check out what the animal skin leather industry tried to with our channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIHCdKmCocZ5oqs For seeing how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpzNdHSjppaSbqc Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally. In a high animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat is the "first" misuse case, the hide remains a profitable body part. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you demand it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and harms the environment, you make them more profitable. Alternatively, you could support industries with your wallet which try to improve the sustainability of materials. Also, if you turn the argument around to "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize that it doesn't make sense (and is ethically doubtful) to discuss the primary use of individual body parts of mammals. Mind experiment: You are getting slain down on the street; would it matter to you if it was for your smartphone or for your purse? Remember that animal skin leather is no different to fur, fur is just leather where the hair is still on. And fur is widely not accepted for clothing anymore, and of course not for cars. We cannot change what we have bought in the past, but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
