2019 Audi A3

Essentially a rebodied Volkswagen Golf, {the new|the brand new}-{generation|era|technology} A3 will debut {around|round} {the same|the identical} time as its {more|extra} {affordable|inexpensive|reasonably priced} sibling. However, {while|whereas} the Golf {is expected|is anticipated|is predicted} to look notably {different|completely different|totally different} than its predecessor and sport some cues borrowed from the Arteon, {the new|the brand new} A3 will {remain|stay} very {familiar|acquainted}. And the spy {shots|photographs|pictures} {confirm|affirm|verify} {just|simply} that. The hatchback will {obviously|clearly} get Audi抯 {latest|newest} design language, {but|however} as we抳e seen on {larger|bigger} {models|fashions} {like the|just like the} A4, A6, and A8, the German designers {kept|saved|stored} {things|issues} {simple|easy} and {familiar|acquainted}. Up {front|entrance}, {we can|we are able to|we will} see Audi抯 revised grille that抯 wider at {the center|the middle} and a {more|extra} angular {frame|body}. The headlamps are sharper too and {become|change into|develop into|grow to be|turn into|turn out to be} {bigger|greater|larger} {toward|towards} the sides, with {a new|a brand new} extension {toward|towards} the bumper. The LED daytime {running|operating|working} lights are triangular now, which is {a unique|a novel|a singular} {feature|characteristic|function}. As {usual|common|normal|ordinary|regular|standard|traditional|typical}, the bumper boasts two {big|huge|large|massive} vents on the sides and {a really|a extremely|a very} {thin|skinny} opening {just under|just below|slightly below} the grille.

The S3 {model|mannequin} has a {slightly|barely} sportier look, {but|however} it抯 {far from|removed from} menacing. The profile {remains|stays} {familiar|acquainted} too, {although|though} it {appears|seems} that the roof has a {slightly|barely} {more|extra} aggressive slope {toward|towards} the rear and there抯 {a big|a giant|an enormous} bulge on the {lower|decrease} {area|space} of the {doors|doorways}. The fender flares are {bigger|greater|larger} than {usual|common|normal|ordinary|regular|standard|traditional|typical} too, {a sign|an indication} that Audi {wants|desires|needs} a sportier hatchback, even in base trim. Around {back|again}, {we can|we are able to|we will} see slimmer taillights that {become|change into|develop into|grow to be|turn into|turn out to be} thinner {toward|towards} the license plate, a {slightly|barely} {more|extra} angled rear window, and a revised bumper with {thin|skinny} {red|crimson|pink|purple} {light|gentle|mild} strips. The S3 {model|mannequin} has a disappointingly small diffuser-like {element|aspect|component|factor|ingredient}, {but the|however the} quad exhaust tailpipe {layout|format|structure} {looks|appears|appears to be like|seems|seems to be} cool. Another {thing|factor} {to notice|to note} is {that all|that each one|that every one} {test|check|take a look at} {cars|automobiles|vehicles} have {five|5} {doors|doorways}. You抎 {better|higher} get used to this configuration as Audi will {probably|in all probability|most likely} drop the three-door {model|mannequin}. It did so with the A1 too as three-door {versions|variations} aren抰 very {practical|sensible} and don抰 {sell|promote} {much|a lot} anyway. Our paparazzi have {yet|but} to snap {shots|photographs|pictures} of {the new|the brand new} {interior|inside}, {but it|but it surely|however it|nevertheless it} {should be|must be|needs to be|ought to be} {a massive|a large|an enormous} departure from the outgoing {model|mannequin}, which feels {old|outdated|previous} and dated.

The A3 {might not|may not|won't} get the {continuous|steady} air-vent strip of the {larger|bigger} {models|fashions}, {but it|but it surely|however it|nevertheless it} {should|ought to} look {fresh|contemporary|recent} and boast new, softer {materials|supplies}. Even the plastic {should be|must be|needs to be|ought to be} refined and {technology|expertise|know-how} borrowed from the {more expensive|costlier|dearer} {models|fashions}. Audi {actually|really|truly} {needs|wants} {a pretty|a fairly|a reasonably} {solid|stable|strong} cabin {in order to|as a way to|in an effort to|so as to|to be able to|with a purpose to|with a view to|with the intention to} compete with {the new|the brand new} Mercedes-Benz A-Class. The latter is {heavily|closely} {based|based mostly|primarily based} on the S-Class {inside the|contained in the} cabin, {featuring|that includes} {the same|the identical} circular air vents in {the center|the middle} stack and {big|huge|large|massive} infotainment and instrument cluster {displays|shows} {under|below|beneath|underneath} {the same|the identical} hood. The {optional|elective|non-compulsory|non-obligatory|optionally available} screens measure a whopping 10.25 inches. Audi {might not|may not|won't} {offer|provide|supply} as {large|giant|massive} of a {display|show}, {but it|but it surely|however it|nevertheless it} {needs|wants} {something|one thing} {close|shut} {in order|so as} {to stand|to face} {a chance|an opportunity}. It {also|additionally} {needs|wants} a {solid|stable|strong} tech {package|bundle|package deal}. Again, the A-Class {uses|makes use of} {a new|a brand new} MBUX infotainment system that has {the ability|the flexibility|the power} to {learn|be taught|study} {thanks to|because of|due to} {artificial|synthetic} intelligence, and it {can also be|can be|may also be|will also be} {customized|custom-made|personalized} in {various|numerous|varied} {ways|methods}. It {also|additionally} boasts augmented {reality|actuality} tech and voice {control|management} for the navigation system, speech recognition, and {all the|all of the} cool apps.

Fortunately, Audi has {plenty of|loads of} state-of-the-{art|artwork} tech to borrow from the A6 and A8. While {the new|the brand new} A3 doesn抰 {seem|appear} {bigger|greater|larger} than its predecessor, {expect|anticipate|count on} it {to offer|to supply} a bit {more|extra} legroom for {front|entrance} and rear passengers. Luggage {space|area|house} {should|ought to} {increase|enhance|improve} {as well as|in addition to} Audi has Mercedes?new 13-cubic-{feet|ft|toes} {capacity|capability} (with the rear seats in place) as a benchmark. The A3 {is available|is accessible|is obtainable|is offered|is on the market|is out there} with {a wide range|a variety} of gasoline and diesel engines globally, and {some of|a few of} them will carry over with {important|essential|necessary|vital} updates. As {usual|common|normal|ordinary|regular|standard|traditional|typical}, all of them {will be|can be|might be|shall be|will likely be|will probably be} borrowed from the Volkswagen Golf. Expect {the usual|the same old|the standard} {mix|combine} {of four|of 4}-cylinder engines, {starting|beginning} with a 1.0-liter unit rated at {a little|a bit|a bit of|a little bit|just a little|slightly|somewhat} over {100|a hundred|one hundred} horsepower. Audi {should also|also needs to|must also} {offer|provide|supply} a 1.4-liter mill with {up to|as much as} {150|a hundred and fifty|one hundred fifty} horses, {while|whereas} the {familiar|acquainted} 2.0-liter TFSI will {deliver|ship} {more than|greater than} 200 horsepower {in the|within the} {range|vary}-topping {model|mannequin}. {The same|The identical} engine {should|ought to} inject {more than|greater than} 300 horses {in the|within the} S3 {model|mannequin}. {The current|The present} diesel lineup {includes|consists of|contains} two mills.
