If you weren’t already impressed with the A3 Saloon, the brand new updates are sure to change your mind.
Interior
One of the most appealing aspects of an Audi is the interior, and the A3 Saloon is no different. The new A3 features 3-zone electronic climate control with individually adjustable temperature areas for both the driver and the passenger. Premium details feature throughout with highlights being the customizable coloured LED ambient lighting adding a premium touch and the 3-spoke full leather steering wheel which is a focal point to the interior.
Heated front sports search finished in the twin leather ensure a comfortable journey for all. The seats are a stylish centre to the interior cabin with the S line embossed logo and contrast stitching highlighting the premium ambience.
Although the wheelbase of this model is unchanged, it’s slightly bigger in all other dimensions, so there’s more head and elbow room for front passengers in particular. The boot space is the same as before, though, at 425 litres.
Technology
The latest-generation infotainment system is at the heart of the on-board technology of the A3 Saloon, boasting more processing power than before. The 10.1” touchscreen display showcases MMI Navigation Plus, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Audi Connect Plus.
The Virtual Cockpit display, located behind the steering wheel, compliments Audi’s MMI display showcasing navigation, entertainment and vehicle information in the driver’s direct eyeline.
With the upgraded Technology Pack, features are taken to the next level with the SONOS 3D premium sound system providing a better audio experience on every drive.

The moment everyone has been waiting for has finally arrived! Audi has revealed the details of the Audi A3 facelift, three and a half years after its initial market launch. Both the A3 Sportback and A3 Saloon have undergone an impressive makeover, boasting designs that are both innovative and elegant.
Exterior Design Changes
At first glance, you'll notice the fresh updates on the exterior. The front now sports a newly shaped single-frame grille that is flatter and wider than its predecessor. S-line exterior on the district green A3 Sportback brings a dash of the RS 3 vibes, while the A3 Saloon showcases a bold progressive red hue. The rear too has been redesigned, adding new bumpers and an impressive diffuser for the S-line package.
What really sets the updated A3 apart are the new daytime running light signatures, which now give you the ability to select and switch between up to four different digital signatures in the MMI. The coming-home/leaving-home lights have been customized as well for each signature.
Interior Updates
Inside, the changes are equally striking. Audi has revamped the centre console, air vents, and the gear selector lever, taking your driving experience to a whole new level. Standard equipment now includes a multifunction leather steering wheel, automatic climate control, and an adjustable centre armrest at the front.
One of the most dazzling new features is the large illuminated area on the front door - a first-class design element achieved by lasering the fabric panel 300 times. This light source dynamically backlights five segments when the doors are opened and closed.
Technology Advancements
The A3 now boasts a 3D sound system from Sonos, along with two new decorative inlays. One made entirely from recycled polyester and the other in Dinamica microfibre material. The latter, also available as a seat cover, is designed to feel like suede while being eco-friendly.
The digital sphere has not been overlooked either. Alongside the digital radio and the 10.1-inch infotainment display, Audi has incorporated the Audi Virtual Cockpit and an inductive charging option for smartphones. We now see two USB-C charging ports in the centre console and an additional two in the rear.
With a surcharge, you can also have access to the MMI Navigation Plus, including access to the app store for using applications directly on the vehicle display and via voice commands. Amazon Alexa is also now a standard feature.
Engine Options
When it comes to the engine, initially, the A3s will be available with the 150 PS 1.5-litre petrol engine (35 TFSI) and the 2.0-litre diesel engine (35 TDI), each with 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. A 6-speed manual gearbox will be available for the petrol engine. Additional combustion-only variants and a plug-in hybrid are scheduled to arrive later in 2024.
Audi has truly gone above and beyond with this new facelift, offering a captivating mix of style, functionality, and state-of-the-art technology. We can't wait for you to experience the new Audi A3 Sportback and Saloon!
Stay tuned for more updates, as the UK ordering begins this April.
