Audi S3 Technology Package

When we say that the S3 is a luxurious sedan, we don't just mean because of its sleek cabin trim or its exterior design. Its technology is the true cherry on top of this package.

Want to know what kind of gadgets you'll have as you cruise around the West Palm Beach, Delray Beach, and Boynton Beach areas? Then check out this 2018 Audi S3 technology review by the Audi West Palm Beach team.

Audi S3 Technology: The Virtual Cockpit

As you settle into your 2018 Audi S3, one of the first major technology benefits you'll notice is right in the cockpit. Namely, the Audi Virtual Cockpit behind your steering wheel.

On this 12.3-inch instrument display, you'll find real-time information about traffic, weather, navigation, and audio. You can even customize the connected apps so that it shows only the information most relevant to you.

Driver Assist Safety

Technology is heavily employed in the Audi S3 safety array to fortify your protection even further.

The key safety suite in the S3 is Audi pre sense®. To start, you'll have the basic version, which acts during emergencies to help passengers brace for impacts and protect them post-collision. This is achieved by tightening safety belts, closing side windows and sunroofs, and more.

However, Audi pre sense® front is an even more intuitive radar-based system. It can predict when collisions may occur and act autonomously to mitigate damage. Its features include:

• Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go
• Forward Collision Warning
• Automatic Emergency Braking

Audi Smartphone Interface

These days, we take our phones and our favorite apps everywhere with us. We rely on them in our daily routines. So, naturally, we should be able to integrate them into our vehicles, as well.

The Audi smartphone interface is one of the integral features of the S3 technology array. It features both Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, which allows drivers to easily connect their phone and pull up their favorite apps right on the touchscreen.

You can control these apps using either the voice control system or your steering wheel-mounted controls.

MMI® touch

Know how else you can control your apps? By using MMI® touch, an available handwriting-recognition technology that allows you to draw in your codes and commands.

MMI® touch is particularly helpful if you have trouble reaching the touchscreen. Trying to control your apps from there could potentially force you to take your eyes off the road.

However, if you use MMI® touch, you can simply draw your commands into the touchpad without even looking down. With this feature, controlling your apps and navigation is supremely easy.
