2013 Audi A3 Video Transcript

The new Audi A3 is like that kid who looks more like his parents every year. This latest refresh has lines that makes it look very much part of the overall Audi design language, especially in the grill. Exciting the scene that gain the most is of course the tech which we got a sneak-peek of at CES in January; the popup screen, about 7 inches, and it's LED-LCD like the latest televisions, making it really thin; head-up display will also be available, connected services via Google like in the big Audi's which means they Google Earth Drive's navigation view, that big control knob in the console is pretty classic Audi stuff but not that the top of it is now a touch pad for just your handwriting input to drive the head unit which also shows Audi's latest interface on the screen. We love seeing cars at the bottom of a line that blowup the old classicism of tech only living at the top of the line.
