Audi's A3 Gets a New Suit of Armour

You’re looking at a conventional petrol-powered sedan, which based on the Audi’s plans for 2022 and beyond sticks out like a sore thumb. That’s because Audi is fielding a raft of full EV models for this year, not to mention expanding the number of compact SUVs to echo market trends.

Not that any part of the new Audi A3 can be criticized for feeling old. This is a complete and bold rework of Audi’s successful formula; it’s sharper literally everywhere and lets its creative streak run wild despite wearing one of the most modest badges (engine included) in Audi’s range.

Up close, Audi seems to be channeling all its motorsport and Quattro tradition into this innocent little A3, and a couple of years ago I would have assumed that this was the S3 derivative, such are the large grilles and inflated bumpers. It definitely makes a strong statement, but those previous A3 owners who liked the brand’s subtle approach to styling might prefer to skip the sportier S-line kit which also adds new alloys. It was just the start of an eye-watering list of options fitted to our test unit and the result of all this is somewhat bittersweet.
