[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Audi Korea announced on the 11th that it will launch the ‘New Audi A3 40 TFSI’ and ‘New Audi A3 40 TFSI Premium’.

The 2nd generation ‘New Audi A3’, which will be available for sale on the 14th, is highly regarded for revolutionizing the value of the 4-door compact sedan with its excellent ride comfort, agile and stable driving performance, and spacious interior. The ‘New Audi A3 40 TFSI’ is offered in two trims: the base model and the Premium.

The ‘New Audi A3’ is characterized by its compact proportions and sporty design. The striking headlights at the front, wide single frame grille, and large air intakes emphasize the dynamic nature unique to the A3. The extended side lines and coupe-style roofline achieve a lower drag coefficient compared to the previous generation while completing an elegant yet robust exterior. Both models come equipped with ‘LED headlights and daytime running lights’ and ‘LED taillights’ featuring dynamic turn signals, which provide a wider field of visibility through high brightness and densely arranged light beams, enhancing safety with excellent visibility during driving.

The interior showcases Audi’s premium sensibility, with features such as a multifunctional 3-spoke leather steering wheel, electrically adjustable and heated leather front seats, and 4-way lumbar support, offering a comfortable driving environment for both driver and passengers. In particular, the ‘New Audi A3 40 TFSI Premium’ creates a delicate and luxurious atmosphere unique to Audi through sports seats, S-logo door sill plates, aluminum-look interior trim, ambient lighting with thirty color options, and a black headlining.

Both the ‘New Audi A3 40 TFSI’ and ‘New Audi A3 40 TFSI Premium’ are equipped with a 2.0ℓ inline 4-cylinder gasoline direct injection turbocharged engine and a 7-speed S tronic automatic transmission, delivering powerful driving performance with a maximum output of 204 horsepower and a peak torque of 30.59 kg·m. The acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h is 7 seconds, the top speed is 209 km/h, and the fuel efficiency is 13 km/ℓ based on combined mileage (11.4 km/ℓ in the city, 15.5 km/ℓ on the highway).

The ‘New Audi A3 40 TFSI’ and ‘New Audi A3 40 TFSI Premium’ come standard with a user-centric and highly connected infotainment system, upgraded safety and convenience features, and driver assistance systems that are typically found only in the full-size segment. Features such as ‘Side Assist’, which flashes a warning light on the side mirror when a vehicle approaches from the blind spot or rear, and ‘Pre Sense Front’, which detects dangerous driving situations of the vehicle ahead and warns the driver while assisting with deceleration, help ensure safe driving.

The prices are 40,203,000 KRW and 44,130,000 KRW respectively (including VAT, based on the reduced individual consumption tax rate).
