About the Audi A3
The Audi A3 improves on a winning recipe by offering more of what made the previous model great. More room, more luxury, and more tech, combined with an efficient mild-hybrid drivetrain and increased interior room make this the best Audi A3 yet. The standard 2.0-liter TFSI® four-cylinder engine offers plenty of power to add fun to your commute while the 48-volt mild hybrid system improves fuel economy. The standard 10.1-inch MMI® touchscreen interface with handwriting recognition, improved interior materials, and increased room make the smallest Audi sedan feel just as luxurious as its larger siblings. Standard features like LED exterior lighting, a panoramic sunroof, and heated leather seats add an upmarket touch to a right-sized sedan that fits equally well into your fast-paced life and tight city parking.
What the Critics Say
"The A3's telematics systems and levels of electronic assistance are impressive. Audi's navigation system is easy to operate and delivers precise commands. We are especially impressed by the optional matrix LED headlights and how they lay a crisp carpet of light ahead of the car." - Car and Driver
"Its Quattro system is one of the best in the business, delivering seamless power when you need it. We recommend it for those in regions prone to inclement weather as well as for drivers with a penchant for sporty cornering. Inside, the A3 has a distinctly tech-forward feel, with a sharp digital instrument panel and infotainment touchscreen housed in a modern dash with bold, sharp angles. The interfaces are not only good-looking but also easy to use." - Edmunds

Audi A3 Features
Performance
The standard 2.0-liter -Turbo Fuel Stratified Injection-or TFSI® -engine of the Audi A3 offers 201 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. Delivering that power through the 7-speed S tronic® dual-clutch transmission means crisper gear shifts and more time in the engine's power bands. Despite offering brisk, sporting performance, the A3 offers impressive fuel efficiency thanks to its use of a 48-volt mild hybrid (MHEV) setup. This system assists at low speeds, meaning that the engine doesn't have to work as hard, saving gas. The Audi A3 boasts impressive fuel economy figures of 24 MPG city, 34 MPG highway, and 28 MPG combined**.
Driver-Focused Technology
The driver's seat of the Audi A3 feels more like a command center with an array of driver-assist technologies to meet your every need. A 10.1-inch Multi-Media Interface (MMI®) touchscreen provides a seamless connection for infotainment and smartphone integration through standard wireless Apple Carplay® and Google™ AndroidAuto™ interface. While connected to your smartphone, the display can control certain apps like music, calls, and navigation. Available Audi Virtual Cockpit replaces your dashboard instrument cluster with a 12.3-inch full-color digital display behind the steering wheel. Audi Virtual Cockpit delivers driver-customized information like a navigation screen, audio and media controls, or digital versions of traditional engine gauges. Standard MMI® touch interface lets you write in words on a touchpad thanks to handwriting-recognition technology. MMI® feature also connects through a smartphone interface to control apps with a touch interface or steering wheel controls.
Trusted Safety
Audi pre sense® basic comes standard on all trims, offering state-of-the-art driver assistance technology - acting swiftly when hazardous driving conditions are identified. During detected emergencies, this safety system starts to close windows and pre-tension the front seat safety belts. Audi pre sense® front - also standard - braces for imminent front-end damage with warnings and applying full braking assist if needed.
Other available safety technologies include the Audi side assist with rear cross-traffic assist for preventing collisions through your blind spots. The active lane assist system of the A3 detects when you start leaving the lane without signaling at speeds above 40 MPH. If a lane departure is detected, the system will gently rotate your steering wheel to bring your A3 back to a central lane position. Adaptive cruise assist maintains speed and appropriate following distances, while park assist and rear cross traffic assist make parking a breeze either in tight parking garages or on busy streets.
