Dynamic suspension
With an aluminium subframe, McPherson strut suspension at the front and an innovative four-link suspension at the rear, the Audi A3 has been engineered to give you complete clarity of handling.

TFSI®
Our revolutionary 2.0 litre TFSI® engine provides the Audi A3 with its high performance and exceptional fuel economy. The TFSI® direct injection technology intelligently switches between modes to offer maximum fuel efficiency or overtaking power.

Audi 3.2 litre V6
The 250PS narrow-angle 3.2 litre V6 engine provides the Audi A3 with sheer brute power. 0-62 mph takes just 6.5 seconds. Audi’s quattro four-wheel-drive ensures that power is always divided between all four tyres for optimum grip, roadholding and traction.

S tronic transmission
Our innovative S tronic transmission is a dramatic option for the Audi A3. Initially pioneered for motorsport, it’s specifically designed to make ultra-fast gear changes without disrupting the power flow.

Servotronic steering
This electro-mechanical power steering system provides the driver with perfect control. What’s more, it makes a significant contribution to the Audi A3’s fuel economy.

ABS Brake system
The high-performance brake system combines short braking distances, sensitive control and optimum cooling of the brakes, so that full performance is retained even after repeated applications. Our ABS antilock braking system and EBD provide peace of mind in the event of an emergency stop.

ESP
Should a difficult driving situation occur, the Audi A3's Electronic Stability Programme provides an intelligent, swift response. The system is capable of braking individual wheels to the limits of their grip whilst altering the engine management settings, ensuring safe braking whatever the conditions.

SIDEGUARD®
In the event of a side impact, side airbags will activate, preventing occupant injury. The head-level airbag covers the entire front and rear side-window including the A-post area.

ASR
Anti Slip Regulation unobtrusively cuts power to any wheel which has lost traction. This means the Audi A3 continues to accelerate safely, so instantaneously that the driver may not even be aware of ASR’s assistance.

Front airbags
In the event of an accident, intelligent impact sensors, including an innovative ‘up-front’ sensor, will detect the severity and nature of the impact and trigger the appropriate occupant protection systems.

S tronic
The S tronic two-shaft transmission contains two clutches. As one clutch transmits the power from the engine, the other pre-selects the next gear ratio. This is achieved by automatically releasing the first clutch, then quickly engaging the second for seamlessly fast gear changes.

Quattro
Audi is indelibly associated with quattro, proof that four-wheel-drive isn’t just for off-roaders. quattro brings a variety of benefits in road holding and is featured on the most powerful models in the Audi A3 range.

TFSI®
TFSI® uses direct injection technology to deliver outstanding performance, low CO2 emissions and improved fuel economy. Dependent on acceleration, it can either distribute maximum power or efficiently use less fuel and cut emissions.

Servotronic steering
The Audi A3’s servotronic electro-mechanical power steering system contains sensors that register when the steering wheel is turned, so that the required amount of power assistance is calculated and distributed accordingly.

6-speed tiptronic
The Audi A3 smooth power transmission is achieved via an automatic transmission with torque converter, which also allows the option of instantly selectable gear changes for a perfectly smooth ride.

Audi sporty exterior styling
The Audi A3 combines the muscularity of a sports car with the practicality of a hatchback. Its distinguished ‘tornado line’ - a subtle panel fold running horizontally from headlight to rear light - and flared panels help deliver sporty driving dynamics and looks.

Front styling
Whether you are passing it in the street or are sitting behind the wheel, the Audi A3 makes an impression. The chrome double-frame grille and clear glass headlights make it distinctively Audi, but with a new edge.

Interior
The well-tailored, crisply styled interior really distinguishes the contemporary feel of the Audi A3 from the rest of the field. Clean, uncluttered shapes. low level seating and raised gear lever position all make for a car that’s a satisfying place to spend time.

Soft-touch boot
The longer you spend with the Audi A3 the more you’ll appreciate the thoughtfulness that extends to every detail, such as the soft-touch luggage compartment release.

Aerodynamic body
The Audi A3 is one of the most efficient and aerodynamic hatchbacks on the road, with low drag, low wind noise and impressive stability even in high crosswinds.
