Living Cars: First drive — 2017 Audi A3

Audi India has given a makeover to its most affordable sedan, the A3. Both the front and rear bumpers have been redesigned and a nice single frame grille sits in the centre. The headlamps have daytime running lights but the unconventional design really makes it look different. The rear also sees a new tail lamp cluster that come with LED lights.

Like was the case earlier the A3 continues to get both Petrol and Diesel options. But there is a significant change here. Instead of the 184 bhp 1.8 litre petrol engine the car ran on earlier, Audi has now decided to put the 150 bhp 1.4 liter mill.

A 7-speed dual clutch gearbox is used here and despite the lesser power, the engine responds well. This engine can do a very capable 0-100 kmph speed in just over 8 seconds and a top speed of over 200 kmph are pretty realistic on the car.

Shams Naqvi was in Vishakapatnam for a first drive of this new A3.
