The latest review of the Audi A3 highlights notable improvements following its mid-life facelift, particularly in interior quality and features. The vehicle boasts a sharp, responsive screen, supports both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and includes amenities such as a wireless phone charger and built-in navigation. While the standard 10-speaker stereo system performs well, the optional 15-speaker Sonos system, part of the Technology Pack, offers an extensive range of settings but falls short in power and immersion. Interior enhancements include a tactile fabric dashboard made from recycled materials and additional ambient lighting, which enhance the overall aesthetic. However, some cheaper plastics remain, which detracts from the luxury experience when compared to competitors like the Mercedes A-Class, BMW 1 Series, and Mazda 3, which offer a more premium feel.
