This is the new Audi A3 Sportback. This sporty hatchback will be coming soon to Brunei Darussalam.

Here are the key features of the new Audi A3

• New sporty exterior styling:

-Low, sleek, athletic - the A3 Sportback has the look of a classic sports coupé. It’s a look that’s unmistakably Audi – confident, understated, and with all the predatory grace and poise of a full-on sports roadster.

-A single-frame grille creates a distinctly self-assured look. New headlights, redesigned bumpers and the flare of the side air inlets give the A3 Sportback a real presence on the road. It also comes with a new LED Daytime running lights which is the same feature as the Audi R8 and the new Audi A4.

-The attractive rear design gives the A3 Sportback its name. It combines the practical aspects of an Avant with the sleek lines of a sports model, and a distinctive set of LED fibre-optic tail-lights.

• The Technology

-200hp 2.0TFSi engine- Revolutionary TFSI engines use direct injection technology to deliver outstanding performance, lower CO2 emissions and improved fuel economy. Dependent on acceleration, they will either distribute maximum power when needed or use less fuel to reduce emissions.

-S tronic transmission- Innovative S tronic transmission is a significant new option for the A3 range. Pioneered in motor sport, adapted for the road, it’s specifically designed to make ultra-fast, seamless gear changes without disrupting the power flow.

-Dynamic suspension- An aluminium subframe, McPherson strut suspension at the front and innovative four-link suspension at the rear offer a supremely comfortable ride, which can be enhanced with optional Audi magnetic ride.

• Safety Features

-Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)-The A3's ESP provides an intelligent, swift response to difficult driving situations. The system is capable of braking individual wheels to the limits of their grip, whilst simultaneously adjusting the engine management settings, to ensure safe braking whatever the conditions.

-SIDEGUARD®-In the event of a side impact, side airbags will activate, preventing occupant injury. The head-level airbag covers the entire front and rear side-window including the A-post area.

-Anti Slip Regulation (ASR)-ASR cuts the power to any wheel that has lost traction, so the A3 Sportback continues to accelerate safely while keeping you on the road.
