Does the Audi A3 Premium have cup holder warmers?

I was driving this evening when my sister asked if the front cupholders had a warmer. I didn’t know what she was talking about until I felt the cupholders and noticed they were super warm. The seat warmers were not on, and I’ve never noticed this before, even though I’ve had my car for about a year and a half.

Is this normal when it begins to get colder outside, or is this a safety issue that I should be concerned about?

Yes, the Audi A3 Premium can have heated cupholders as an option. It’s designed to keep your drinks warm in colder weather.

Oh, that makes sense! I didn’t know that was a feature. Thanks for clarifying!

I’ve noticed mine getting warm too, especially in winter. It’s not a safety issue; it’s just part of the comfort features.

Phew! That’s a relief to hear. I was worried something was wrong.

Just make sure it’s not overheating. If it feels excessively hot, it might be worth having it checked out.

Good point! I’ll keep an eye on it just in case.
