The third family represents Audi in the C-class. These are, for today, a pair of hatchbacks: a 3-door body and an "extended" Sportback (5-door body); cabriolet; and in 2012 it promises to be a sedan (coupled with the renewal of the entire model range).
I would like to note right away that for the A3 with the index "8P" there is not only a choice of trim levels, but simply their widest choice.
In terms of technical characteristics, there are only some engines here - 5 units (volume: 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 and 3.2) from 102 to 250 hp. (1.4, 1.8 and 2.0 are turbocharged), although for the Russian market they are only gasoline. In addition, the transmission can be: 5 or 6-speed "mechanics", 6-speed "automatic" or 6-speed "robotized".
The drive of the Audi A3 can be either front-wheel drive or full.
Today's series of "triplets" were presented by Audi at the beginning of 2008. The exterior design of the cars has been updated - now it is made in the style of the new Q5 crossover, in particular, now these cars have the same "let down" headlights. The updated Audi A3 8P has become 25 mm longer than the previous model.
The salon, when updating the model, also underwent some changes. The volume of the luggage compartment has increased.
Fuel consumption for various engines is as follows: 1.4 with "mechanics" (with "automatic" similarly) - 7.9 in the city (5.0 on the highway); 1.6 with “mechanics” - 9.8 in the city (5.7 on the highway) / 1.6 with “automatic” - 9.5 in the city (5.4 on the highway); 1.8 with “mechanics” - 10.1 in the city (5.8 on the highway) / 1.8 with “automatic” - 10.4 in the city (5.8 on the highway); 2.0 with "mechanics" (and with "automatic") - 11.0 in the city (6.1 on the highway); 3.2 with a "robot" - 13.9 in the city (7.6 on the highway). This is the consumption for the 5-door A3 Sportback, for the 3-door hatchback and convertible, these figures are literally "100 ml" less.
The dynamics of the second Audi A3, of course, strongly depends on the power unit - "ordinary" acceleration "up to a hundred" in 11.9 seconds. and a top speed of 185 km / h for a 1.6 liter (engine without a "turbine", so the performance is worse than that of a 1.4 turbocharged) will not impress anyone, but in 6.4 seconds up to 100 km / h and a top speed of 250 km / h (for 3.2-liter non-turbocharged) - wow!
With such a character, this athlete is extremely picky about fuel - only AI-98 gasoline.
Rates on the Audi A3 in 2008 the following:
- A3 in the back of a 3-door hatchback costs 866 ~ 1645 thousand rubles.
- Sportback is sold at prices in the range of 891 ~ 1670 thousand rubles.
- A convertible can be bought for 1101 ~ 1388 thousand rubles.
And, of course, its cost can be even higher when installing additional. equipment.
