Audi are certainly not famous for aesthetic revolutions; They are famous for the frequency with which the range is updated. This time the “facelift” of mid-career affects the family of ‘ Audi A3 , a key model for the manufacturer’s sales Ingolstadt : surgery technicians comes four years after the launch of the latest generation, the third, the German C segment. As usual, the editing to the body just mentioned and mainly involves the lights – optional there are those matrix of LEDs – now more aligned to the language of forms introduced the latest edition of the A4 .
the real novelty is the A3 MY2017 – declined in version three doors , Sportback , Sedan , Cabriolet and related sports variants “S3″ – relate to the aging of the segment propulsive (more power to the units already present and a new 1.0 three-cylinder turbo engine from 115 hp) and above, the technological background . The interior also features the ‘ Audi Virtual Cockpit , the dashboard LCD 12.3 inches sending traditional analog indicators in retirement: the Device already A4 , Q7 , TT and R8 , allows the display of information tachometers, the GPS (with 3D mapping), media information on entertainment and connectivity. Everything is based on a display 1440 x 540 pixels connected to a processor quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3Di .
The Audi Virtual Cockpit it is highly customizable and integrated with the ‘ infotainment , which the German company called Multi Media Interface : the latter uses instead of a 7 “screen concealed, placed just above the air vents. The MMI system provides the Network connection through Sims dedicated for data traffic, provided free of charge for the first 3 years : a gem that guarantees LTE connection and features such as Google Earth , Street View , for more up to date on the traffic or weather . The MMI is controlled with the now ubiquitous “rotellone” on the center console: the Audi has also touchpad for the quick entry of letters and numbers.
Less spectacular but certainly more useful the electronic systems to driving safety, such as Active Lane Assist updated Pre Sense Front and Pedestrian Protection : a kind of “electronic eye” that helps the driver keep the car in its lane, warns of a sudden slowing of traffic – by braking the car if necessary – and stops the car when a pedestrian suddenly comes out before the vehicle during urban driving.
There is also the Cross Traffic Assist and Traffic Jam Assist : the first monitors stream of other cars during the maneuvering phases in reverse to avoid possible collisions; while the second, listen, listen, confronts the queues instead of the driver, acting automatically to follow the traffic column with its stop & amp; go. Faced with this function, the adaptive cruise control with arrest and self-start the vehicle almost no news. While in the case of driver illness Emergency Assist stops the A3 at the roadside and alert the rescue.
