The highly anticipated facelifted 2025 Audi A3 Sedan has been officially introduced, confirming earlier speculations based on spy shots.
Accompanying the sedan, which will be the exclusive body style offered in the US market, Audi also showcased the Sportback variant alongside a new elevated allstreet model, although regrettably, these models will not be available stateside.
As this revelation is global, Audi has yet to disclose specific engine options tailored to the US market. While Europe is slated to receive a 1.5-liter gasoline engine, along with diesel and plug-in hybrid variants, North American consumers are expected to continue with the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine generating 201 horsepower.
Power distribution will be managed through either front- or all-wheel-drive configurations via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Although there’s speculation about a potential power increase, no confirmations have been made at present.
In terms of exterior enhancements, the facelift brings subtle yet notable changes, with Audi introducing a revamped grille featuring a flatter and wider structure, complemented by enlarged side air intakes connected by a front spoiler to visually lower the car.
The rear receives a new bumper design inspired by the RS3 model, accompanied by headlights featuring 24-pixel elements capable of projecting various lighting patterns. New color options such as Progressive Red and District Green are introduced, alongside the option for matte paint in Daytona Gray.
European markets witness the introduction of the all-street body style, offering a slightly elevated hatchback akin to the allroad models, enhancing the A3’s crossover-like appearance with a higher-set grille and increased ground clearance.
Interior updates remain modest, with standard features including a three-spoke leather steering wheel with multifunction plus and ambient lighting.
The option for a Sonos sound system with 3D sound enhances the audio experience, while material upgrades include technical textured fabric made from recycled polyester and Dinamica microfiber. Available S-Line seats offer enhanced bolstering for a sportier aesthetic and feel.
Regarding pricing and availability, Audi anticipates opening order books for the 2025 A3 in March 2024, with specific details for the US market expected to be disclosed later this year.
While the current A3 boasts affordability, starting at $35,800 for the 40 Premium model, slight price adjustments are anticipated for the 2025 iteration, reflective of enhanced standard features. Stay tuned for further updates on the 2025 Audi A3 later this year.
