Audi A3 Review
The Audi A3 was launched in India in 2014 amid much fanfare. The car came to the Indian shores after conquering the world by having received the 2014 World Car of the Year Award. The entry model into the Audi brand was much loved owing to its balanced design, fresh new interiors which were minimalistic yet comfortable and practical and a pair of capable engines which were pretty frugal too.
The A3 is a sorted product and has done reasonably well in India. However, it had reached halfway in its product life cycle and needed to receive a refresh to keep its appeal intact. Audi has done the needful, giving the car not just some nip and tuck, but also introducing a brand new petrol engine, replacing the previous 1.8 TFSI unit. We drove the premium compact sedan on the gorgeous shoreline of Vizag, and here’s our first drive review, answering all the questions one may have about the refreshed model
