DESIGN
The Audi A3 has exceptionally good looks inside and out; there’s no denying that. While its blueprint does a lot of the talking, how you customize this sedan gives it true star quality. Pair your expression with ample interior space and first-class amenities, and you’ll have a sedan the whole block will be talking about.
Design Your Dream Car
The A3 comes with a 9-color shade range. Six of the nine paints are on the grayscale, giving you 007 swagger. You’ll be ready to roll up to any upcoming black-tie events in any of those classic tones in variations of black, gray, or white.
If you really want to make an entrance, choose one of these distinctively bold paints:
- Progressive Red
- District Green
- Navarra Blue
They each pair well with this luxury sedan’s neutral interior. Speaking of which, will you choose a Black, Parchment Beige, or Santos Brown interior? Regardless, you can be assured that your A3 will reflect your good taste.
A First-Class Experience
Prepare yourself for first-class treatment inside the Audi A3. This model has several premium features to boost its debonaire aura and prioritize your comfort. Check out these standard amenities:
- 8-way power front seats with 4-way power lumbar
- Power panoramic sunroof
- 3-zone climate control
- Leather upholstery
- Heated front seats
Whether taking the helm or sitting in the back row, you’re afforded over 36 inches of headroom. Front-row passengers will enjoy 41.2 inches of legroom, while rear-seat passengers will have 35.2 inches.
PERFORMANCE
If you crave an adrenaline-inducing ride, you’ll love what the Audi A3 has brewing under its hood. Between its turbocharged engine, dynamic handling, drive modes, and more, the A3 will give you the ride of a lifetime.
Suave and Stealthy
Underneath the hood is a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, producing 201 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. Harnessing that much power allows you to sail from 0 to 60 MPH in a mere six seconds!
If you want to take that power into your hands, look to the 7-speed S tronic® dual-clutch automatic transmission. It has a manual mode via the steering wheel-mounted shift paddles, making the gearbox respond quickly to the driver’s input.
Interruption-free Joyrides
Even with its substantial power, the Audi A3 is a fuel-sipper, maintaining an EPA-estimated 24 city/34 highway MPG rating.* You can cruise on in style and leave gas stations where they belong—in your rearview.
Speaking of cruising, you can enjoy this luxury sedan’s versatility on those interruption-free miles with Audi drive select. This feature offers four modes—Comfort, Auto, Dynamic, and Individual—that alter steering, transmission, and throttle response.
TECHNOLOGY
The Audi A3's cockpit is a beauty to behold. It features large displays, wire-free connectivity, and other advanced technologies to elevate your time behind the wheel. Your peace of mind is equally important, so Audi has packed the A3 with dream-worthy driver assistance.
Your Mobile HQ
The central hub of the Audi A3 is the 10.1-inch MMI® touch display. It functions like your smartphone, allowing you to scroll, touch, and swipe the screen. Acoustic feedback follows your every command, as do crisp graphics. You can pair your phone to the display with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto™, and Bluetooth®.
The view behind your steering wheel can be just as crisp with the available Audi virtual cockpit plus. It features a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster that is fully customizable.
Prioritized Protection
Your protection is a top priority, which is why the Audi A3 has many driver-assistance aids, such as:
- High-beam assist
- Lane departure warning
- Audi pre sense® front
Even more protection is provided when you upgrade your A3! Take the edge off long commutes with available Adaptive cruise assist with lane guidance. While on the highway, available Audi side assist with rear cross traffic alert keeps an eye on the blind sides and rear of your vehicle. Once you reach your destination, available park assist will act as your valet.

The Audi A3 and the BMW 2 Series are stunning roadsters with ample power and technology. However, when comparing each model’s standard offerings, the Audi delivers more premium features and substantially more legroom for rear-seat passengers. After all, Audi prioritizes your comfort, allowing you to enjoy endless serenity without upgrading.

Pitting the Audi A3 against the Acura Integra may seem unusual; however, the Integra puts up a good fight against the A3. Both models deliver exciting power and plentiful driver assistance. That said, Audi engineers spent extra time considering you while at the drawing board. All-wheel drive, a larger display, and leather seats? Try again next time, Acura.
