2015 Audi A3 Test Drive

The all-new 2015 Audi A3 now available at Braman Audi in West Palm Beach is a car of many talents. This is Audi's latest experiment, and a very successful one, in building practical subcompacts that are stylish, luxurious little rocket ships that handle like a race car yet get great fuel economy and are packed with the latest technology. Everywhere you look you see clever engineering, top quality materials and world-class fit and finish. It's a remarkable package of capabilities and virtues, particularly for a car of this size and price range.
The Audi A3 sedan will bring to the subcompact segment new innovative technologies and the detailed craftsmanship found in larger flagship Audi sedans. The A3 sedan offers versatile powertrains, including a 1.8 TFSI®, 2.0 TFSI®, 2.0 TDI® clean diesel and the high performance S3 with a high-output 2.0 TFSI®. In addition, all-new A3 will be expanding with a new A3 Sportback with a plug-in gasoline electric hybrid powertrain,
"The Audi A3 will set the new benchmark among entry-level luxury sedans," said Scott Keogh, President, Audi of America. "This A3 line-up redefines the standards of its class in dynamics, efficiency, technology, craftsmanship and performance."
The Audi A3 sedan breaks the boundaries and raises the bar as to what is expected out of entry-level luxury sedans. The A3 marks the first time that a subcompact will offer MMI® technology, Audi drive select, 4G LTE connectivity and Bang & Olufsen® audio. Even the base model of the all-new premium Audi A3 comes equipped with standard features that include leather upholstery, Bluetooth® technology, rain sensing wipers, Audi pre sense basic and a panoramic glass sunroof.
Another industry first includes the Audi phone box. The Audi phone box is a compartment located under the center armrest that boosts a mobile phone's cellular coverage by wirelessly coupling to a specialized antenna in the rear windshield.
The A3 offers four different engine variants including the 170 horsepower 1.8 TFSI, and 150 horsepower 2.0 TDI clean diesel, and a low and high-output 2.0 TFSI used in the A3 quattro and S3 quattro respectively. Horsepower figures for the 2.0 TFSI engines will be available closer to launch. All engines are mated to the standard 6-speed S tronic® transmission which provides the driver immense shifting flexibility and driving pleasure with smooth, dynamic acceleration and virtually no interruption to the power flow.
The athletic exterior of the A3 extends inside, where the defining element is the "wraparound" dash design, which incorporates an innovative three-dimensional inlay concept surrounding the driver and front passenger. The available LED interior lighting package highlights the immense craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into every Audi A3 interior. This is accomplished by bathing the interior in a cool white LED light surrounding the center console, door panels, cupholders, and even the Bang & Olufsen Sound System when so equipped. The A3 delivers the same prestige and high-quality materials found in Audi's flagship sedan, the A8 with standard leather seating surfaces and exceptional ergonomics.
The MMI operating system has an electronically extending screen, its terminal housed in the console of the center dashboard. It features a 7-inch high resolution display screen with magnesium backing that is less than ½ inch thick. To further enhance the driving experience, the new MMI controls are conveniently positioned behind the gear shift. They now offer the first touch pad incorporated into the rotary MMI control wheel, which offers an intuitively and simple operation typical of the brand with the four rings. Now with the optional 705 watt 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen Sound System, all occupants in the A3 can enjoy the best in acoustics.
The modular infotainment platform in the Audi A3 also brings several upgrades to Audi connect® service, including 4G/LTE network connectivity. Using the existing Wi-Fi connectivity for up to 8 devices, passengers can now view high-definition videos and make video conference calls from the vehicle. Adding to the existing Google Earth? 3D satellite imagery and intelligent POI search with Google Voice? Local Search, the Audi A3 introduces a new Picture Navigation service. Here the driver can save photos of destinations, which are linked to geo-navigation data (GPS), in the "photo box" of MMI Navigation plus.
Braman Audi also offers Audi Tech Clinics every 60 days for customers who need a refresher course or wish to explore deeper into the technology available on every new Audi. Please visit Braman Audi in West Palm Beach to test drive the new 2015 Audi A3, or any vehicle in the Audi range.Â
The 2015 A3 Sedan is available now to test drive at Braman Audi.
