Audi made its foray into the hatchback segment in 1996 with the introduction of the A3, marking a significant addition to its lineup. Initially offered solely as a C-segment model, the A3 has since expanded to include various body styles, enduring through four generations of evolution.
In contrast to Volkswagen’s frequent generational updates for the Golf, Audi’s A3 has undergone more gradual changes, entering its fourth generation four years ago. Despite this, the A3 remains competitive, receiving extensive upgrades for the 2025 model year.
The refreshed A3 family now comprises three body styles: the familiar Sportback and sedan, alongside the new A3 allstreet variant. Visual and comfort enhancements define the upgrades, with redesigned exteriors featuring a reinterpreted Singleframe grille and reimagined interiors equipped with advanced technology.
Powered by a range of engines, including gasoline and diesel options, the A3 lineup offers versatility and performance. Notably, Audi emphasizes sustainability with the use of eco-friendly materials and advanced connectivity features, underscoring its commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility.
