Audi A3 Sedan S Line Launched In Malaysia; RS 3 Sedan Open For Booking

The 2nd generation Audi A3 Sedan has been launched by official distributor, PHS Automotive Malaysia, in S Line trim. This new compact executive car shows off a more muscular and sculpted design with the front featuring a large Singleframe grille with honeycomb design, flanked by striking headlights.

The A3 Sedan’s body line extends up to the rear bumper to emphasise its length and give the rear an elegant appearance. The concave surface under the broad body shoulder further accentuates the quattro blisters and the sill, and creates a play of light and shadow. Further, the roof line slopes down from the B-pillar, like a coupĂ©. The body is streamlined with a higher rear end and a large diffuser to reduce drag, which will help reduce CO2 emissions and fuel consumption.Audi A3 Sedan

Audi A3 SedanThe Audi A3 Sedan also features controllable cooling-air inlet with 2 electrically actuated louvre modules behind the Singleframe. These regulate the flow of air according to the driving situation, to further improve aerodynamics. Additionally, the panelled underbody, the exterior mirrors, and the active brake cooling are all designed to reduce air resistance.

Powering this A3 S Line is a 2.0L TFSI turbocharged petrol engine paired with a 7-speed S tronic gearbox. This powertrain delivers 190 PS (187 hp) and 320 Nm of torque. The S Line version comes with LED headlamps and 17″ alloy wheels in a 5-parallel-spoke style.

Inside the car, you will find fine Nappa leather with embossed “S” symbol and a sporty flat-bottomed leather-wrapped multi-function Plus steering wheel with paddle shifters. The new dashboard and centre console of the Audi A3 Sedan comes with the Audi virtual cockpit to give an easy view of important information to the driver, along with a 10.1″ MMI touch colour display. Furthermore, the Audi 3rd modular infotainment platform (MIB 3) is a more powerful system compared to its predecessor and its smartphone interface has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support.

Moreover, the new A3 Sedan features a suspension system tuned to be sporty and harmonious, allowing for faster reaction speeds and increased precision driving, especially for those who enjoy hard cornering. This is courtesy of the central dynamic handling system that ensures optimal interaction between all the components to the transverse dynamics. The car also includes a lane departure warning system.Audi A3 Sedan
