Stylish things grow old slowly, but to forestall the moment of falling interest in their product producers have to be anticipatory initiative. For example, the company Audi. Her model A3 from the presentation in 1996, gained a firm circle of admirers, whose number currently stands at about half a million. A3 even prizes were awarded "Federal Award for Industrial Design", "Best Car in Europe" ... Fairly unusual for a car with class design allows the machine and even today look very modern. Still, it's time to make some adjustments to its image and improve the technical side. Differences between the updated version at first glance to see fairly easy, because the radical changes in appearance here did not happen. But if you know the basic improvements, once we can say - this is a new A3. Mild changes were grating facing the radiator. Now it consists of 4 horizontal strips, which has four rings logo. Changed shape and exterior mirrors. size mirror on the passenger side are larger, which helps to improve visibility. If your first meeting with the updated A3 happen at dusk, you will notice the new lights as an option is now available xenon lights. Changed accordingly, and their design. Under the clear plastic cap to place three stepped cylindrical "spotlight" near xenon, halogen high beam and turn indicator, but not orange, and white. This is not just a fad. New lighting technology offers improved to 25% intensity and 30% greater range of lighting conditions. In addition to basic svetoblokov, in the bumper, new elliptical "fog." Several refreshed design and rear lights. In the central part of the great light appeared white glass inserts. Under the general style were made colorless and duplicators turning on the wings. By the way, due to changes in lighting form wings also had to redo it. The general style of machine has become more solid. This help and new alloy wheels dimension of the large 15 - to simply huge 17-inch. Expanded scale and exterior colors A3. The final touch - a new, style "name plate", which is the master signature on the canvas, confirms the high quality product. The Germans did not rest on our laurels. Products from Ingolstadt was always famous for high precision assembly, but now, on the assurance of Audi, the fit of parts is even better. Inside the machine, new finishing materials. In particular, the new structure of plastic trim on dash and door linings as well as color fabric upholstery. As additional equipment is proposed trim expensive grades of wood or panels of polished aluminum. Modifications are designed for sports seat design with improved strong lateral support. Much attention is paid to comfort. Passenger seat was adjusted in height. In the system of air conditioning and ventilation installed carbon filter combined with very small pores. He is a reliable barrier to getting into the cabin of soot, exhaust gases, dust, etc. Such elements as the new design steering wheel and gearshift control unit air conditioning system makes interior more comfortable and give a special styling illuminated vents blowing. The fact that the car has become much richer, you can see even small things such as electric lock the back door, replacing the usual mechanical. Now click on the handle - no more than the team. To improve passive safety in A3 were refined kinematic parameters of the pedal unit. the company can continue to be confident that the class A3 remains one of the leaders in terms of security, as evidenced in the crash tests conducted by independent consumer organizations in Europe and the USA. It's time to talk about technology. In the range of powertrains A3 appeared two engine: Diesel 1,9 TDI 130 hp 1.6 petrol and 102 hp Diesel engine represents a new trend in the development of powertrains. In recent years new technologies have allowed to raise output and reduce noise to a level of gasoline counterparts. But the "diesel" has retained all its classic features such as high and stable torque and good economy. The new turbo-diesel from Audi - a further confirmation of this. When the amount of its 1.9-liter capacity 130 hp, while torque reaches a peak of 310 Nm at 1900 r / min. Very impressive. Such parameters must use the new engine of high-precision injection and turbocharging. Now no one can blame the owner that his "dizelek" too slow. Its top speed is 205 km / h, acceleration to 100 km / h - just over 9.2 sec. Average fuel consumption of the vehicle does not exceed 5.1 liters! This is a merit and a new 6-speed gearbox. In refining the gasoline 1.6-liter engine focused on improving the performance efficiency and environmental safety. Engineers have been able to reduce average fuel consumption of 0.6 liters, and now it is 6.8 l/100 km. But the truly impressive is that the level of harmful emissions decreased by 20%. With such an indicator A3 already complies with EURO-4. At the same time managed to not only maintain the same level of power, but also to raise it to 102 hp vs. 101 hp earlier, and the torque of 3 Nm to 148 Nm respectively. In addition, for 1,9 TDI 130 hp and 1,5 turbo 180 hp propose a new 5-speed sequential gearbox Tiptronic, which combines the automatic gearbox and the ability to manually switch postupenchatogo. Among the many modifications and now have a four-wheel drive version with a motor 1,9 TDI. Do not remain unchanged and the suspension A3. Were replaced with all-wheel shock absorbers, installed a new stabilizer bar. Further development of these elements resulted in improved handling characteristics. This makes it possible to maneuver at higher speeds, but on the other hand, may lull the driver. To prevent dangerous situations on the road or get help from them, on all versions of A3 as standard equipment will be installed on Electronic Stability Program ESP. For a number of expensive high-tech places apart in klassse A3 compact city cars. And if we take into account the impressive list of optional equipment, we can safely say that anyone who liked the shape A3, can easily pick up and appropriate for themselves the content.
