Pricing and specification details have been revealed for the new Audi A3, which gains a wide-reaching overhaul for 2024 in saloon and Sportback guises.
The A3 Sportback costs from £32,035, while the more practical saloon is slightly more expensive at £32,600. Both variants are available to order now.
As standard, the A3 comes with LED headlights, electric sports seats, a 10.1in touchcsreen infotainment system, wireless phone charging and voice control.
Other equipment, such as Audi’s digital cockpit, front and rear parking sensors, heated seats and three-zone climate control are also included as standard for the first time on the A3 model range.
Mid-range S-Line models gain larger 18in wheels plus ambient lighting, a flat-bottomed sports steering wheel, S-line styling cues and sports suspension.
Black Edition cars get 19in wheels, fabric interior trim, plus a black exterior styling pack, and the doors will project the Audi logo onto the tarmac below when opening the door.
The revamped A3 will initially go on sale with a choice of two powertrains: the 35 TFSI 1.5-litre mild-hybrid petrol and the 35 TDI 2.0-litre diesel.
Both units offer an unchanged 148bhp. A revamped plug-in hybrid is among the other engine options that will be launched later this year.
The Audi A3 follows its Volkswagen Golf and Skoda Octavia platformmates in receiving a wide-reaching refresh for 2024, with a modernised interior, trick new lights and a more powerful S3 among the headlines.
The focus of a relatively subtle exterior makeover has been to make the car look more dynamic.
