Available as {either|both} a sedan or a convertible, the {bite|chew|chunk}-{size|dimension|measurement} A3 wraps what we love about Audis in a handsome, tidy {package|bundle|package deal}. Despite sharing its platform with the Volkswagen Golf, the A3 is {a genuine|a real} Audi with {all of the|all the|the entire} {features|options}, {performance|efficiency}, and sophistication we {expect|anticipate|count on} from a {car|automobile|automotive} {wearing|carrying|sporting} the storied {four|4}-ring {logo|brand|emblem} on its grille. The A3's turbocharged 2.0-liter {four|4}-cylinder {is offered|is obtainable} in two potencies?86 or 220 horsepower梐nd is {smooth|clean|easy} and refined. {The higher|The upper}-powered {version|model} rocketed an all-wheel-drive A3 sedan from zero to 60 mph in {just|simply} 5.5 seconds at our {test|check|take a look at} {track|monitor|observe} and {still|nonetheless} delivered 34 mpg on our 200-mile {highway|freeway} {fuel|gas|gasoline}-{economy|economic system|financial system} {test|check|take a look at} loop. Steering is {precise|exact}, the {ride|experience|journey|trip} composed, and {optional|elective|non-compulsory|non-obligatory|optionally available} Quattro all-wheel drive {provides|gives|offers|supplies} all-weather assurance. {Check out|Take a look at|Try} the A3's {high|excessive}-{performance|efficiency} siblings: the S3 boasts 292 horsepower and the wild RS3 has a 400-hp inline-{five|5} {under|below|beneath|underneath} its hood. Inside, the A3's cabin is as {stylish|fashionable|trendy} and as {well|effectively|nicely|properly}-assembled as its {larger|bigger} Audi siblings. Innovative {technology|expertise|know-how} is featured {heavily|closely}, {including|together with} a trick digital gauge cluster and a motorized pop-up infotainment {screen|display|display screen}. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a 4G LTE-powered Wi-Fi hotspot {also|additionally} {are available|can be found}. Interior passenger {space|area|house} is tight, even by compact-{car|automobile|automotive} {standards|requirements}, and the convertible {model|mannequin}'s rear seat is {even more|much more} snug than the sedan's. Audi {offers|affords|gives|presents|provides} {plenty of|loads of} driver-{assistance|help} {features|options}, {although|though} most are {extra|additional|further}-{cost|price|value} {options|choices}. Automated emergency braking and {forward|ahead}-collision warning are {both|each} {standard|commonplace|customary|normal}, {but|however} conveniences {such as|akin to|comparable to|corresponding to|equivalent to|reminiscent of|resembling|similar to} adaptive cruise {control|management}, a self-parking {feature|characteristic|function}, and {automatic|automated|computerized} {high|excessive}-beam headlamps are {optional|elective|non-compulsory|non-obligatory|optionally available}.
The cabin is {equipped|geared up|outfitted} in durable upholstery and {surface|floor} {material|materials}, and {absolutely|completely} none of it {looks|appears|appears to be like|seems|seems to be} or feels {cheap|low cost|low-cost} and gaudy. {One of the|One of many} drawbacks to driving the 2019 Audi A4 is that {the standard|the usual} 7-{speed|pace|velocity} {dual|twin} clutch transmission hesitates upon {initial|preliminary} launch. Since {this is|that is} {the only|the one} transmission {available|accessible|obtainable|out there} for the A4, {you cannot|you can not|you can't} {try to|attempt to} {upgrade|improve} to {anything|something} {more|extra} {smooth|clean|easy}. Unfortunately, that {means that|implies that|signifies that} drivers {will have to|must|should} get used to the {vehicle|automobile|car} seeming a bit sluggish to kick into gear upon take-off. The engine {start|begin}-{stop|cease} {feature|characteristic|function} {also|additionally} makes the A4 a bit {slow|gradual|sluggish} to {accelerate|speed up}. {It is not|It isn't|It's not} a deal-breaker, {but|however} {it is a|it's a} minor annoyance. Another minor annoyance is the lack of {feedback|suggestions} from the steering system to the driver {despite|regardless of} the {vehicle|automobile|car} being weighted {well|effectively|nicely|properly}. Whether {you have|you could have|you have got|you may have|you might have|you will have|you've|you've got|you've gotten} it set in Comfort, Dynamic, or Auto mode, there {just|simply} {isn't|is not} {much|a lot} feeling that comes {through|by|by means of|by way of|via}. This makes the {experience|expertise} of driving the Audi A4 a bit {less|much less} {engaging|partaking|participating} than what {you can get|you may get|you will get} on {other|different} {vehicles|automobiles|autos} {in this|on this} {segment|phase|section}.
Skip {adding|including} the adaptive suspension on this {vehicle|automobile|car}. {It is not|It isn't|It's not} {worth|price|value} {the cost|the associated fee|the fee|the price} to {upgrade|improve}. {The standard|The usual} suspension has {just|simply} {the right amount|the correct amount|the correct quantity} of firmness, {but the|however the} adaptive suspension overkills on it. This compromises the smoothness of the {otherwise|in any other case}-{solid|stable|strong} and {comfortable|comfy|snug} {ride|experience|journey|trip} {quality|high quality}. Thankfully, this {problem|downside|drawback} {can be|could be|may be|might be|will be} {avoided|averted|prevented} by not {opting for|choosing} the adaptive suspension. Although the {summer|summer season|summer time} tires {to increase|to extend} traction and contribute to the stellar stopping distance of {99|ninety nine} {feet|ft|toes}, they do {tend to|are inclined to|are likely to} create some noise. This sound will seep into the {otherwise|in any other case} {well|effectively|nicely|properly}-insulated cabin of the 2019 Audi A4, {but it|but it surely|however it|nevertheless it} {is simply|is just|is solely} a minor inconvenience, not {a major|a serious|a significant} {issue|challenge|concern|difficulty|problem|situation|subject}. 2019 Audi A4 vs. The 2019 Audi A4 has {a major|a serious|a significant} competitor {in the|within the} {form of|type of} the 2019 Genesis G70. This {vehicle|automobile|car} has {all the|all of the} {features|options} of a German {luxury|luxurious} sedan {but|however} {offers|affords|gives|presents|provides} up {a much more|a way more} generous {warranty|guarantee} for {less|much less} of a {cost|price|value}. It packs in a ton of {standard|commonplace|customary|normal} {features|options} and is an {exciting|thrilling} {vehicle|automobile|car} to drive.
However, the G70 has an infotainment system sourced from Hyundai {that is not|that isn't|that's not} as {easy|simple|straightforward}-to-use as Audi's. Also, the {back|again} seat is {much more|far more|rather more|way more} cramped. The {manual|guide|handbook} transmission {also|additionally} struggles to {perform|carry out} {well|effectively|nicely|properly}. 2019 Audi A4 vs. Another {top|high|prime} contender for the 2019 Audi A4 is the ever-{popular|common|fashionable|in style|standard|well-liked|widespread} BMW {3|three} Series. The 2019 {3|three} Series line-up is competitively priced {but|however} {offers|affords|gives|presents|provides} {many of|a lot of|lots of} {the same|the identical} {features|options} that come {standard|commonplace|customary|normal} on the A4. It has an unparalleled {handling|dealing with} {quality|high quality}, and {the various|the assorted|the varied} engine {options|choices} are all {powerful|highly effective} {and provide|and supply} good returns on {fuel|gas|gasoline}. However, {the 3|the three} Series lacks {in the|within the} small {item|merchandise} storage {space|area|house} {department|division}. The 2019 Audi A4 {is not|is just not|isn't|just isn't|shouldn't be|will not be} {the cheapest|the most affordable|the most cost effective} {vehicle|automobile|car} in its {segment|phase|section}, {but it|but it surely|however it|nevertheless it} {sure|certain|positive} does have {a lot|loads|lots|quite a bit|rather a lot|so much|too much} {to offer|to supply}. The brakes' capabilities are {outstanding|excellent}, bordering on perfection. The rear seat {offers|affords|gives|presents|provides} up {plenty of|loads of} {space|area|house} {for everybody|for everyone}, and the infotainment system is {one of|certainly one of|considered one of|one among|one in all|one in every of} {the better|the higher} {systems|methods|programs|techniques} {out there|on the market}. While the steering and transmission {could|may|might} use some {improvements|enhancements}, {they don't|they do not} take {too much|a lot|an excessive amount of} enjoyment away from driving this {vehicle|automobile|car}.
