Audi has updated its ever-popular small family hatchback and saloon, the A3, for 2024 – with improved equipment levels and a sportier design.
The Volkswagen Golf rival will receive a new plug-in hybrid version at the end of the year, while a couple of improved engines are on offer.
Externally, the A3 for 2024 gets new large angular side intakes and a new front spoiler– which makes the front end look lower.
There are also two new paint colour schemes, District Green and Progressive Red, as well as a new rear bumper with a diffuser, taking inspiration from the RS models..
Initially, from launch the new A3 will be available with two engines and transmissions. The 35 TFSI with a 1.5-litre mild-hybrid petrol engine producing 148 bhp will come with a seven-speed S tronic gearbox– a six-speed manual will be on offer at a later date. The 35 TDI with a 2.0-litre diesel model will produce 148 bhp will come as standard with a seven-speed S tronic gearbox.
Further engines are expected to be added at a later date, while a plug-in hybrid will arrive towards the end of 2024.
Orders for the new A3 will begin in mid-April with prices and specifications set to follow.
