Commonwealth Audi Expects 2013 Audi A3 Next Fall

Santa Ana, CA July 31, 2012 - Commonwealth Audi in California has announced that the 2013
Audi A3 is slated to appear in its Santa Ana show room next October. A preview of the 2013
Audi A3 will be available to Audi fans at the Paris Motor Show this October, and the model will
be available for purchase one year from then.

“The 2013 Audi A3 has a lot of new features to offer drivers and will definitely make an
impression,” says Commonwealth Audi General Manager Matt Crandall. “We are excited for the
upcoming preview and to prepare for its arrival next year.”

The 2013 Audi A3 will be available in a five-door Sportback and a four-door small sedan. The
new version uses the new VW Group MQB architecture. With this new design, the front axle
moved slightly forward giving the front passenger increased legroom. In the recent development
of the A3, a primary goal has been to lower the overall weight and the new models have dropped
over 100 pounds. Because of Audi’s space frame aluminum-steel construction, much of the front
end components of the compact segment now consist of aluminum, making the A3 much lighter.

Every model is created equal. At least that’s what Audi is saying with the new A3. Practically
every option available for the Audi A6, A7, and A8 will now be available on the A3. MMI touch
technology is now integrated onto the top of the mouse-rheostat on the console. All safety and
convenience systems will also be incorporated into the MMI system with each of them able to be
calibrated separately instead of adopting a single default threshold. The latest pop-up MMI’s
screen is just 11mm thick, which is about the width of a smart phone. Speaking of your phone, a
cable is no longer needed to connect it to the 2013 A3. All you have to do is place the phone in
the Audi console phone box and you are good to go.

Audi is also taking passenger protection one step further. Audi has integrated front sensor
technology to allow the car to halt itself while traveling at slower speeds if it senses an imminent
collision. In addition, all onboard connectivity systems now use a QNX proprietary system
developed with the German group Harman Becker rather than Windows in order to avoid viruses
and other security issues.
