Audi updates A3 lineup with new Sportback models

Audi is updating its A3 lineup with new model variations, including a new entry-level Sportback Design version. In Europe, this model starts at 32,600 euros for the 1.5 TFSI 116 CV engine with a manual transmission. The Design trim features a more streamlined equipment list, omitting certain premium features such as Park Assist plus, Side Assist, and Matrix LED headlights to maintain a lower price point.

In other markets, such as Japan, limited editions like the Sportback 1st Edition have been introduced. These special editions are based on the Sportback 30TFSI Advanced and are limited to 375 units. The current generation of the A3 continues to emphasize digital integration and sporty aesthetics, maintaining the structural foundation established in 2020 while refreshing interior and exterior elements.
