Safer than everThe Audi A3 puts the driver in total control, helping to avoid dangerous situations before they develop. Servotronic steering and responsive suspension all play their part, as does the exceptional braking system. What’s more, industry Euro -NCAP passive safety tests have demonstrated the A3 as one of the safest cars on the road. | |
Brake system
The high-performance brake system combines short braking distances, sensitive control and optimum cooling, for a consistently effective performance even after repeated applications. ABS antilock braking and EBD provide extra peace of mind in the event of an emergency stop. | |
| Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)
The A3's ESP provides an intelligent, swift response to difficult driving situations. The system is capable of braking individual wheels to the limits of their grip, whilst simultaneously adjusting the engine management settings, to ensure safe braking whatever the conditions. | |
