Much better late than never ever, anticipated in 2023, the restyling of the premium compact sedan was made the other day. Orders for the facelifted Audi A3 compact are open; the base cost is EUR38,080 with the 35 TFSI 150 hp Sportback engine.
The Audi A3 was the one that, in 1996, inaugurated the principle of the premium compact sedan. The present variation, the 4th generation, was revealed in February 2020 and after that marketed in July 2020. The mid-career restyling was at first arranged to occur in 2023. The operation was a little postponed, however it was formalized today. Both the 5-door A3 Sportback body and the 4-door A3 sedan body are impacted.
A subtle advancement for the changed A3
The grille is lower and broader, the scoops on either side of the single-frame gain height, and the headlights are shown by 4 possibilities for personalizing the light signature. The matrix architecture is based upon 24 modules dispersed over 3 rows, like big pixels, which decorate each of the projectors. Before the restyling, the adjustable part of the projectors remained in the lower corner; now it remains in the upper part.
An à la carte light signature: an intense concept … or not?
A technological reward currently decorated with the Audi Q4 e-tron and Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback. The brand-new Audi logo design with the 4 rings in a flat style becomes part of the offer.

In the guest compartment, the central air conditioning vent grilles are improved, while the equipment lever and the main console are revamped. The latter accommodates an armrest adjustable in length and disposition.
