Facelift THE NEW AUDI A3 (2016 FACELIFT) – STILL AHEAD OF THE CURVE

Can't help but notice that things that used to be free / standard are additional costs here? Plus the things that are now meant to be standard... S Line Suspension is £325, used to be a free upgrade. Audi Phone Box should now be free, shows as £325. Headlight washers were standard on S Line previously, now £250... (Not a requirement for the now LED headlights?) Plus I can't see any mention of free navigation and audi connect, only the £995 technology pack...

EDIT:
And the 1.6TDI is now showing as 116PS, up from the previous 110PS. Is this correct?

EDIT 2:
Okay the list shows it as 110PS, but when you click it it comes up on the side as 116PS, the fact that the error exists gives me a little bit of confidence the above are errors too...

I've noticed some dodgy stuff happening as well. Busy at work so can't fully check. Seems buggy. The only thing is the base prices seem to have been bumped by less than £300

Yeah you may want to click New Configuration at the top, otherwise anyone else clicking that link will be modifying your session while you are too, meaning things will change at random. The base price for the S Line saloon 1.6TDI has gone up by £650 :(

To be honest looking at this is just as helpful as using the German configurator! I wouldn't get too exited, im sure the UK specs & Website configurator will be up soon, and then hopefully all will be come clear. Remember, we are mere mushrooms to Audi, feed us sh*t & keep us in the dark!

The link was given to me by a dealer in Audi West London... So most likely reflect accurately what will be on the Audi UK web site tomorrow or in the next few days...
 
managed to get through it....other than the alcantara....didn't see Ara Blue on any models either...the S3 has Navarra Blue...so my original PFL has increased by £890...(if i add the alcantara back in)..which i expected....fun to see it ...cheers!
 
Plus I had specced the Through load facility in my PFL and there is no mention of it in the link either. There is also no mention of LED Matrix lights on the SLine. So it's either standard (doubt it) or the configurator is incomplete (Matrix Lights are selectable in sport trim).

I guess it's a work in progress.
 
No S3 saloon either. It's listed on left but not available as a model.

Yeah I think I'm gonna take a break and wait for the official Audi UK web site... This is headache inducing!
 
That mentioned Navarra blue looks nice though!!! ... I think so anyway

Yes totally agree and appreciate the link, but like you and some others said, some bits seem to be missing from the configurator so is leaving me with a headache!! I'm going to wait for the website version before i get too excited.
 
Same


And no gloss black pack

Yes i noticed this on the German configurator aswell! I fear that this is no longer available :cry: Will break my heart if that is the case..

No ara blue...and now we are hearing about navarra blue.!!!!!

and its closer to the discontinued Sepang....Cosmic replaces Scuba..and they are both a darker blue...so no light blue for either by the looks...(as a standard colour that is).....after all my excitement I'm basically getting the same car as my PFL but as a FL..but probably less the alcantara..oh well...was a fun rollercoaster....

I know! Past the initial excitement it started doing my head in...
 
Yeah that's what I thought @moonlight, much more similar to sepang than Ara appears to be
 
S3 has gone up in price by £575....Navarra blue that will be just for the A4....a renamed Sepang for the Yanks...rhymes with Nevada.....lol

If BSP is out the window, Plasti-Dip/ Peel Coat sales will jump!

Foolish to get rid of it, black plastic must be cheaper for Audi than alu/chrome, yet they can charge 2/300 quid for it? Foolish..

But some of the extras seem to be down in price.
Still I was looking at 35k for what I wanted on the last gen s3, looks like 36k atleast now
 
No extra 10bhp on the S3, no matrix headlights, no virtual cockpit, and most annoyingly of all, no lunar silver leather. Since the lack of lunar silver is the sole reason my original order was cancelled (by the dealer) this is particularly irritating.

I think Audi still has work to do on the configuration page though.

I am sure they've changed it to Rotor grey leather instead of lunar silver?

It appears to me that one of two scenarios have taken place ....

1) The configurator is still being updated, although I find it unlikely it would be released if this was the case.

2) Everyone has been taken for a ride by Audi ...

To be missing so many key items that have been well advertised seems to have been a plot to get people to cancel existing (cheaper) builds to hold off for a new build which is both more expensive and has a front end like Ronald MacDonald.

I hope the first point is the case, or there may be a lot of u happy customers.
