It takes more than hard work, dedication and
vision to create the truly exceptional. It takes
something intangible. Something you can’t
quite put your hands on. It’s courage, guts,
perseverance, passion and fierceness of focus
all wrapped into one.
And it’s this intangible characteristic that defines
all of us at Audi. It’s the driving force behind
every pencil line we draw, every calculation we
make and every idea we deem not good enough.
It’s why every inch and curve and angle has
purpose. It’s why we test our cars at the highest
of speeds for hours on end so they can be driven
on any surface and in any condition – rain, shine
or white-out blizzard.
It’s why substance always wins the day. It’s
why cutting a corner, even a weld seam in the
trunk, would be sacrilegious. And it’s why for
us scrutiny is so deeply ingrained it’s like the
very act of breathing.
This is Truth in Engineering. And this is Audi.

Designed to deliver a combination of exhilarating
performance, remarkable eciency and
convenient utility in a way no other car in its
class can, the A3 epitomizes progressive design,
perfectly suited for city driving and winding

that signals it’s part of a family of cars in which
performance is paramount.
A number of dramatic elements make it a stylish
standout. Available brilliant LED daytime running
lights accent the signature Singleframe® grille,
while the standard S line® fascia with foglights
further enhance the purposeful look.
At the rear, form and function work seamlessly.
The exhaust tips and surrounding rear diuser
create a sporty look, while the large rear hatch
makes loading and unloading virtually eortless.
More than capable in every respect, the agile
A3 will get you in and out of tight corners and
spaces quickly and confidently.

Superior performance has always been an Audi

hallmark and the A3 is another classic example.
Available quattro® all-wheel drive is the heart
and soul of Audi handling. Delivering superlative
confidence for the driver when the weather
is less-than-ideal, quattro is an essential
component to responsive handling.
Paired with a 2.0T 200hp engine producing
207 lb-ft. of torque, the A3 delivers impressive
performance whether you’re in the city or on an
apex-filled mountain road.
Precise handling is also a product of the
MacPherson front suspension and multi-link
rear suspension, which provide a high level of
lateral rigidity and inspire total confidence in
any turn. There’s also the advanced technology
and safety of the Electronic Stabilization
Program (ESP®), which helps ensure your A3
maintains the intended direction of travel by
continuously and instantly adjusting a number
of drivetrain variables, including the throttle,
transmission and the brakes via ABS.
Servotronic® steering is another important
factor of superior handling in the A3. The
speed-sensitive, electromechanical power
steering system allows for more precise
control at higher speeds. At lower speeds,
like in a parking lot, Servotronic steering
decreases resistance, allowing for easier
steering input.
The culmination is a car that performs
extraordinarily well. The A3 is ideal for the
tight confines of urban settings but provides
a bold and exhilarating driving experience in
any environment.
