TAKE A LOOK GUYS !!
Opening the range is a 140hp 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol. Above that there’s also a 1.8-litre turbocharged petrol, producing 180hp – it’ll hit 62mph (approx. 100kmh) from rest in 7.3 seconds.
Initially, there’ll only be one turbodiesel engine on offer, in the form of Audi’s 150hp 2.0-litre TDI unit. It’ll complete the 0-62mph dash in a credible 8.4 seconds. Expect the smaller 1.6-litre diesel to feature later on.
The new A3 Saloon’s interior is identical to the pair of hatchback variants already available – but that’s no bad thing. The ergonomics of the current A3 family are good, and with leather available as an option, it’s comfortable too.
All models get Audi’s MMI radio interface with folding screen, “air conditioning or climate control”, DAB radio, Bluetooth, multi-function steering wheel and an iPod connection.
The S3 Saloon gets Audi’s drive select system, altering the car’s suspension dampers between Comfort, Auto, Dynamic, Efficiency and Individual modes, with options to adjust the throttle response, steering and gearbox, too.
The car also gets sports suspension, dropping the ride height by 25mm, as well as huge 340mm high-performance front brakes to contain the elevated speeds the 300hp family hot-rod will be able to achieve.
Audi has revealed the first pictures and details of a pair of new compact A3 and S3 Saloons, the first ever ‘three-box’ saloon models to feature in Audi’s ‘3’ family of vehicles.
The new cars join the regular three-door hatchback and five-door Sportback A3 and S3 models, and will go on sale this summer. The Mercedes-Benz CLA just got some competition…
