Also, a point to note is there was no option for a sunroof; at launch, that was only available in the GTI. I think the gti drive way better n has hud but price is sky higher than a 7.5 R ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shouyi 3rd Gear July 23, 2021 Share July 23, 2021 (edited) @Wt_know The sports seat and pre-sense basic are $1538 and $854 options respectively. Now they throw all these in at no extra cost. My SE told me rear cross traffic alert and front assist need to top up $300 while blind spot monitoring can be fitted for $1200. Who knows, PA might throw in for free next time.

Audisale.sg lastly, the steering comes with "round" or "rectangle" airbag? the round ones looks more sporty even without flat bottom Edited July 23, 2021 by Wt_know 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kensuke Neutral Newbie July 23, 2021 Share July 23, 2021 Pardon my ignorance, but does anyone has any concern on the mild hybrid battery that is under the seat? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
epigram Clutched July 23, 2021 Share July 23, 2021 (edited) Oh wow, I didn't realise A3 pricing is so close to the Golf Lifeplus. Too late... (now to see what I will be missing out) A3 unique 1. Park Assist (vs nil) 2. Headlight cleaning system (vs nil) 3. Leather/leatherette seats (vs microfleece/fabric) 4. Sport steering wheel (vs normal) 5. 8.8" infotainment screen (vs 8.25") 6. 12.3" instrument display (vs 10.25") 7. Pre Sense Basic (vs nil) Gold Lifeplus unique 1. 3 Zone climate control (vs 2 Zone) 2. 18" wheels (vs 17") 3. Wireless phone charging (vs nil) 4. Driver Alert System (vs nil) 5. Rear Traffic Alert (vs nil) hmm.. what if compare with the other cousin (octavia style - similar pricing but much lower brand equity) 1. Electric tailgate (vs nil) 2. 7 airbags (vs 6) Edited July 23, 2021 by epigram 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it is alright? i think A3 and similar platform does that too. Electric car have even larger battery? Try not to think too much. Life's stressful enough already.

Shouyi 3rd Gear July 23, 2021 Share July 23, 2021 This new A3 is definitely a money-spinning machine for PA. The profit margin is much higher than the previous 1.0 model yet selling like hot cakes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
