PHS Automotive Malaysia (PHSAM) launched the second generation of an Audi success story – the A3 Sedan, for the Malaysian market. Redefining the compact luxury class yet again, the Audi A3 Sedan combines a striking new design language with advanced technologies, and promises an even more engaging driving experience.
Inside, its beautifully executed interior – more spacious than before, seamlessly marries luxury and cutting-edge technology, with the likes of the Audi virtual cockpit, 10.1-inch MMI navigation plus touch display and Audi connect plus services as standard inclusions.
Powerful and elegant: The exterior
With a more muscular and sculpted design, the A3 Sedan generates a completely new presence. The front is dominated by a large Singleframe with honeycomb grille that is flanked by striking headlights.
The body line on the Sedan extends up to the rear bumper, which emphasises its length and gives the rear an elegant appearance. The concave surface under the broad body shoulder further accentuates the quattro blisters and the sill. This creates an intensive play of light and shadow. The roof line slopes down from the B-pillar dynamically – just like on a coupé.
Streamlined body
Its streamlined body, paired with a higher rear end and a large diffuser contributes to reduced drag coefficient values, which in turn reduces C02 emissions and fuel.
The A3 Sedan also features controllable cooling-air inlet with two electrically actuated louvre modules behind the Singleframe. They regulate the flow of air intelligently and according to the driving situation. In addition, the panelled underbody, the exterior mirrors with improved aerodynamics, and the active brake cooling reduces air resistance.
Focused and digitalised: The Audi Virtual Cockpit
The new dashboard and centre console of the Audi A3 Sedan is intuitively designed. An overview of important information is displayed in the driver's direct field of view with the Audi virtual cockpit plus and 10.1-inch MMI touch colour display. Plus, the leather steering wheel with multi-function plus and S tronic transmission provides ease of control and great driving comfort for the driver.
Highly connected
The third-generation modular infotainment platform (MIB 3) boasts computing power ten times higher than in the predecessor model, and can connect to smartphones via the Audi smartphone interface, which integrates iOS and Android cell phones with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Comfortable and dynamic at once
The suspension of the new A3 Sedan has been tuned to be sporty and harmonious, allowing for faster reaction speeds and increased precision driving, especially for those who enjoy hard cornering. All this is thanks to the central dynamic handling system that ensures optimal interaction between all the components to the transverse dynamics.
The A3 Sedan will be available in a choice of eight colours: two solid paint finish and five metallic, and one pearl effect shades.
The RS 3: Now open for booking
Compact and mighty, the all-new Audi RS 3 Sedan has impressive agility and dynamic handling, with a high-power, five-cylinder engine, with acceleration from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.8 seconds. True to its RS heritage, the RS 3 boasts a widened body, RS sports exhaust system, and a cockpit display like those found in race cars, it is truly made for those seeking a constant thrill in their daily drive.
Holding the record as the fastest compact sedan at the legendary Nurburgring Nordschleife race circuit in Germany, the RS 3 Sedan is now open for pre-order in Malaysia.
