Design

When it comes to striking design features and attractive qualities, Audi have it covered from top to bottom. The power and elegance of the latest new A3 sportback is defined by a new flatter and wider hexagonal singleframe grille, and eye-catching LED headlights. Inspired by classic coupe design, the roof line runs down towards a stunning tailgate spoiler sporting a new bumper, whilst the front spoiler connects 2 intakes making this A3 appear lower. This sporty new look is partly inspired by the RS models and has 2 new metallic finish options of District Green and Progressive Red.

Features

Innovation meets progressive design across the A3 range. With a variety of trim levels available housing an array of features, the new A3 is available in Sport, S line & Black Edition trim. It has a stylish exterior, and modern interior with 17” alloy wheels and LED headlights with daytime running lights as standard on both the Sportback and Saloon and the ambient lighting package adds a classy touch inside the cabin. Progressive new styling on the new A3 Sportback comes as standard with redesigned large air intakes and a distinctive diffuser and front spoiler.

Performance & Technology

The new A3 Saloon and A3 Sportback offer up to 150PS with their 35 TFSI or TDI engines. The new A3 launches with two engine variants – a 35 TFSI mild hybrid petrol engine and a 35 TDI diesel engine. More engines and transmissions will be available throughout the launch cycle. Audi Smartphone interface, rear parking sensors and adaptive cruise control all come as standard. A significant development of the new A3's predecessor is the adoption of the fully digital 10.1-inch display screen featuring the latest touch technology with voice recognition for controlling infotainment.

Safety

Safety is paramount across the A3 range. Audi pre-sense front with pedestrian recognition as well as lane departure warning and collision avoidance assist are fitted as standard from entry level across the new A3 Saloon and Sportback range.
