Carturning specifically looked for five more representative Audi A3 Exterior mods for reference.
In the compact car market, appearance has become the first factor for many people when choosing a car. If luxury brands want to dominate the compact market, they must have decent "style". Taking BBA as an example, the most entry-level BMW 1 Series is currently equipped with a three-cylinder engine (for most people, it is immediately discouraged), and the power matching of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class is also Not satisfactory, so can the new Audi A3 become the king of luxury compact cars?
Of course! You've already won just by looking at your face. The honeycomb grille unique to RS models has now become standard equipment, and even the lowest model is equipped with matrix LED headlights. Its appearance and configuration have completely surpassed its two rivals.
As a modified car media, of course we are more concerned about the modification potential of the new A3? There is no proof for what you say, just look at the cases. Because hatchback and sedan versions are launched in China at the same time, the editor has found a few more representative cases for your reference.
Friends who will buy the A3 sedan generally focus on practicality and pay more attention to space or ride comfort, so being a "potted plant" should be a good choice. When Top Secret got the new A3, they immediately replaced it with Air lift 3P pneumatic shock absorbers, which directly made the front wheels "stuck" and the rear wheels "hidden" in one step. Even if the wheels are replaced, it already looks very good.

For further upgrades, they replaced it with 20-inch CVR1 wheels produced by Concaver Wheels, which is the finishing touch of the whole car. The competitive-style wheels make the whole car look more sporty, which also proves that Aerodynamics don’t necessarily have to be equipped with large rims, racing wheels can also match well.
I have to say that the new A3 with new shoes will have a sense of familiarity with the S3. When parked on the street, it will attract attention like a beast ready to go.
Apart from girls, the users who would choose the hatchback A3 should be those who are interested in performance. A car length of 4.3 meters is inherently more flexible and will run more compactly. As for how to modify the hatchback A3, we might as well ask ABT, a tuning factory that specializes in modifying Audis.

Like the sedan version, the front face of the hatchback version is still equipped with a honeycomb-shaped grille as standard. According to the previous practice, the original chrome-plated grille must be replaced by the S line, but now ABT does not feel the need to replace it, so it looks like this Very nice to watch.
If you want to make the look more aggressive, this front lip from RDX Design is perfect for you. It’s perfect when paired with the honeycomb-shaped mesh.

Since the original exhaust pipe is hidden inside the rear bumper, ABT placed the modified exhaust pipe outside. Since the emphasis is on sports, of course the exhaust pipe must be shown. Hiding it inside will be very ineffective.
The power part has been optimized by the ABT ECU system, which has increased the power by 40 horsepower and 40 Nm. As for more advanced upgrade plans such as replacing the turbocharger, there are currently no more advanced upgrade plans. After all, the research and development of new car modification cases also requires time for debugging and development. .
Personally, I feel that the major tuning houses are relatively conservative in their power adjustments for the Audi A3. The 35 TFSI model used in the canned program launched by Racechip only has an increase in horsepower of 44 horsepower and only 30 Nm more torque than ABT, but the 1.5T There won’t be any big surprises when it comes to displacement. (Only the 1.4T version is available in China)
If you are a more advanced A3 player, the competitive wide body should be your first choice. The exaggerated wide body shape instantly gives people a strong visual impact. The large-size wheels and large-size calipers have already surpassed any opponent in terms of momentum.

If you don’t want to play with performance, it’s not a bad idea to go with the attitude. Putting on large wheels similar to the second-generation A8 and lowering the body also looks "wow"!
Every A3 has the heart of an S3. Future A3 owners may wish to take a look at how ABT’s new S3 has been modified. To change it to S3, you must first transplant the engine, because it is equipped with a 2.0-liter engine. After tuning by ABT, the power has been increased from the original 310 horsepower to 370 horsepower, and the caliper set and exhaust set used are higher performance. version, this calculation already requires a lot of money.

If you don't have enough money, you only need to put on a black color-changing film and spray-paint the wheels black to become Darth Vader. It looks like a fighting spirit, doesn't it?
Audi A3 Exterior mods case 5 :
Although the appearance of the new A3 has been greatly improved, the 1.5T+48V mild hybrid system that everyone is most concerned about has still not been introduced. The domestic A3 is still equipped with the 1.4T+7 speed-dry dual-clutch powertrain as standard for the entire series. , the editor who is greedy for the light hybrid system advises you to wait a little longer.
