Audi upgrades A3 hatchback line up

Audi is revising the A3 hatchback and A3 Sportback models this summer.

Included in the revised Audi A3 range is the option of the seven-speed semi-auto S tronic dual-clutch transmission system. And the availability of the 265hp high performance S3 model in Sportback trim for the first time.

There are modifications to the styling around the bonnet and bumper areas and re-styled single radiator grille.

The widened model line up will feature Standard, SE, Sport, and S line models.

Standard specification includes air conditioning; SE now features driver information system, front fogs and new alloy wheels; Sport specification includes sports suspension, 17-inch alloy wheels; and S line features 18 inch alloys and S line body styling and black cloth/leather upholstery.

The Audi S3 quattro model is joined by the five-door Sportback for the first time.

The sub-120g/km Audi A3 TDI (105hp) model continues in the line-up. This model A3 qualifies for the new 10% company car tax break (subject to the 3% diesel supplement) which should make the car a very attractive business car proposition.

The revised Audi A3 engine line up

  • Petrol 1.6 102hp
  • Petrol 1.4 TFSI 125hp
  • Petrol 1.8 TFSI 160hp
  • Petrol 2.0 TFSI 200hp
  • Diesel 1.9 TDI 105hp
  • Diesel 2.0 TDI 140hp
  • Diesel 2.0 TDI 170hp
