The A3 helped Audi establish the premium compact class in 1996, and the nameplate has been updated extensively for 2024.
It's available as a hatchback, sedan, and a new 'allstreet' crossover body style.
At the front, the signature frameless ‘Singleframe’ features a new structure from S line trim and is noticeably flatter and wider. A new bumper and angular side air intakes complete the front design updates.
The centre console has been redesigned and given a new finish, and the new blade design, finished in chrome on the outer surface, makes the air vents appear thinner.
For the first time in the A3 series, it is now possible to select and switch between up to four different digital daytime running light signatures via the car’s Multi Media Interface (MMI).
The rear features a new bumper and distinctive diffuser insert, partly inspired by the RS models.
All A3 models will be produced at Audi’s Ingolstadt plant and will be available to order from March 2024.
In Europe, the A3 models will initially be available in two engine/transmission versions – the 35 TFSI with a 1.5-litre petrol engine and mild-hybrid assistance and the 35 TDI with a diesel engine and seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
The new Audi A3 allstreet is a crossover version available alongside the hatchback and sedan body types.
The A3 allstreet features a sportier and more robust design, courtesy of wheel arch trims in Manhattan Gray and larger 17-inch wheels. It also offers 30mm higher ground clearance and raised seating than the standard A3.
