Audi of America and AT&T announced
new data plans for the all-new 2015 A3 sedan, which debuts this month,
and will enable the first-ever in-vehicle 4G LTE data connection in
North America. The data plans will be competitively priced, starting at
$99 for a 6-month plan and $499 for a 30-month plan.
“Having the choice of two data plans gives the consumer the opportunity
to choose a contract that works best for their lifestyle and allows them
to maintain connectivity in the vehicle for an extended period of
time,” said Scott Keogh, President, Audi of America. “The new AT&T
data plans with 4G LTE connectivity will allow Audi drivers to enjoy
seamless navigation, streaming and high-speed access to the Internet.”
Audi and AT&T will offer two limited data plans: a 6-month plan with
5 Gigabytes of data and a 30- month plan with 30 GB. All Audi A3 sedans
equipped with Audi connect® will receive a free six-month trial period.
Previous experience with 3G+ Audi connect owners has shown they prefer
either a 6-month or a 30-month term, which are designed to accommodate
the consumer’s typical usage. The plans are based off typical usage in a
vehicle. Customers can be sent e-mail alerts if they near the data plan
limit.
As previously announced, this summer Audi will become the first
automaker to offer a Mobile Share data plan option to AT&T wireless
customers who would like to add their vehicle to their existing Mobile
Share plan.
Audi plans to roll out 4G LTE capability across its entire lineup as new
or refreshed models come to market. AT&T has the nation’s most
reliable 4G LTE network.* AT&T was named America’s fastest 4G LTE
network in PC Magazine’s 2013 Fastest Mobile Networks 30-market study,
and also swept the top rankings in all six U.S. regions from coast to
coast: Northeast, Southeast, North-Central, South-Central, Northwest and
Southwest.
The new A3 family will feature the most advanced version of Audi
connect, including picture navigation, read-aloud news headlines,
Facebook and Twitter alerts, access to more than 7,000 Web radio
stations, personalized RSS news feeds, and more.
