The new Audi A3 will be built on Volkswagen’s new MQB platform and will be slightly larger than the current model. Depending on the market, Audi will be offering a choice of six engines, both TSI and TDI, all of them with an improvement of 20% in terms of fuel economy. In the upcoming years, Audi will be also offering a hybrid and even an electric version of the car.
The new Audi A3 will be offered in two body versions: hatchback (three and five-door versions) and sedan, all further identified by unique design features. When talking about the next A3, Audi’s design boss, Stefan Sielaff said: "Three-door cars will be more compact and sharper in design, while the four-door will have different dimensions and detailing around the car – it’ll be a sporty, peppy design with a sexy back end!"
