Instead of the Detroit
Motor Show, Audi chose the glitz
and glam of Las Vegas to unveil the
interior of its upcoming A3 hatch. The 2012 Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas is currently wrapping up and
Audi took the stage to show off some new
technologies to be found in their compact car.
A next-generation Multi Media Interface (MMI) was shown. Its central component
is the big rolling wheel that’s used to access all the menus. These can be seen on the 17.8cm LED colour screen with an 800x480 pixel resolution and 3D graphics capability. The wheel
itself features a touchpad on top,
which can be played with using the finger. Similar to the A8’s system, except
here, touchpad and wheel are integrated
into one unit for the first time.
Multiple head-up display (HUDs) units were mentioned as being possible for future models, but not confirmed for
the A3. These are basically for driver and all three passengers. We aren’t too sure where and how they would be
positioned though. More pertinent,
we aren’t sure why they would be included in the first place. Driver is the one
who needs all that information, and
if the passengers feel they need it too, surely it’s already on the main
dashboard?

I see that Audi is now improved because their interior were not so strong but maybe they looked ok. So now it's higher quality which is so welcome for it.
