- The new 2021 Audi A3 Sedan compact 4-door model is digitally and fully connected - from the infotainment through to the assist systems. Beneath the elegant body, new drives and refined suspension tuning ensure a driving experience that is as efficient as it is dynamic. The A3 Sedan will be on the lots of European dealerships beginning in summer 2020.
Compared with its predecessor, it is now 4 centimeters (1.6 in)longer at 4.50 meters (14.8 ft), while its wheelbase remains unchanged. Its width has increased by 2 centimeters (0.8 in)to 1.82 meters (6.0 ft) and it is now 1 centimeter (0.4 in) taller at 1.43 meters (4.7 ft). This has yielded an increase in headroom - a good 2 centimeters (0.8 in) in the front thanks to the lower position of the driver seat - and some more elbow room. At 425 liters (15.0 cu ft), the luggage capacity is exactly the same as in the predecessor model.
The front is dominated by a large Singleframe with honeycomb grille that is flanked by striking headlights. On the outside, they form trapezoidal angles that are drawn downward. In the top model with Matrix LED technology, this is where the new digital daytime running lights are housed. They consist of a pixel array made up of 15 LED segments that can be actuated individually and give the various versions of the A3 Sedan a specific signature.
The aerodynamics benefit from the higher rear end compared with the predecessor as well as the large diffuser. As a result, the new A3 Sedan with the 2.0 TDI 150 HP achieves a Cd value of 0.25 and is therefore 0.04 Cd points better than the first generation. The controllable cooling-air inlet with two electrically actuated louver modules behind the Singleframe also contribute to this. They regulate the flow of air intelligently and according to the situation. In addition, the paneled underbody, the exterior mirrors with improved aerodynamics, and the active brake cooling reduce air resistance and make for a streamlined vehicle.
The cockpit of the A3 Sedan is entirely focused on the driver. This begins with the interior design and ends with the display and control elements. Thus, the instrument panel with the central MMI touch display is inclined slightly toward the driver. It has a 10.1-inch diagonal and is intuitive to operate. As standard, it includes handwriting detection as well as natural language control that can optionally draw on the capabilities of the cloud. The 10.25-inch instrument cluster behind the steering wheel is digital even in the basic model. As the Audi virtual cockpit plus, it measures 12.3 inches and offers three different views, including sporty graphics with inclined digits and a particularly dynamic layout. The RPM and speed are shown here as bar diagrams with angular red graphical elements. Upon request, a head-up display complements the display concept, whereby it projects important information onto the windshield in the driver’s direct field of vision.
POWERTRAIN:
The new A3 Sedan is available with a choice of two TFSI engines and one TDI engine at launch. One thing they all have in common is high efficiency. The 35 TFSI, a 1.5-liter direct injection engine, produces 150 horsepower (110 kW) and is available in two versions - with a newly developed 6-speed manual transmission and with a quick-shifting 7-speed S tronic.
Besides the cylinder on demand technology, the powertrain in conjunction with the S tronic dual-clutch transmission uses a 48-volt mild hybrid system. It recovers energy during deceleration, supports the engine with up to 50 Nm (36.9 lb-ft) of torque when driving off and accelerating from low engine speeds and allows the A3 Sedan to coast with the engine switched off in many situations. In everyday driving, it reduces consumption by up to 0.4 liters (0.1 US gal) per 100 kilometers (62.1 mi).
The 2.0 TDI with 150 horsepower (110 kW) also works in conjunction with a seven-speed S tronic, whereby gear shifts are performed via a new switch using shift-by-wire technology.
Presales of the new Audi A3 Sedan will begin at the end of April 2020 in Germany and many other European markets. Deliveries will commence in the summer. Prices for the 35 TFSI with 150 hp start at €29,800. Shortly after the market launch, an entry-level gasoline engine will follow with a list price of €27,700.

Definitely one of the most beautiful sedans today.
The front New Audi A3 Saloon is like Iron Man face ... 👍👍👍
The best in the class
John Smith no doubt
This dash and center console with shifter is what should've been in the Q3. This A3 interior looks much better than the new Q3.
wow this is very big for a A3 it looks like A4
Dont think its any bigger tho, probably just a few mm
Looks better than the A4
C segment best car A3 ❤️
Yes, all new s3 and rs3 are coming
Wow. Beautiful!!!
That is impressive!
Good design
The 1rst A3 sedan was perfect!
YAY. SO I CAN FINALLY REPLACE MY 2017 a3❤️
Can I please get you old one?
I really like it.. This is the best Audi I have ever seen....
The best is first A5 ))
Wow Jason Segel is doing very well at designing car interior
Greeting from south Africa a country besotted by lockdown in our time. A car is great to have such as the audi 3A. But in some road a for by for is asked of us so we can progress along poor roads. Can a audi come with four wheels drive in this car?
audi is best!
Best in the segment, hands down
Nice details provided
Youcar ni other channel can match you, there the company announces the launch and here is youcar getting you the official video, keep it up 👍🏻
У самого старенькая АУДИ! Самая надежная на мой взгляд Машина!
Было бы с чем сравнивать))
😍
I prefer the A class sedan but this one is alos hot
The interior design has some resemble from Lamborghini
from 2009.
What is under the hood?
For now i think only 1.5
What means sedan?
Samuel it means the car has a “butt”
A3 or A4 😄
Elegant and stylish car , quality finish , lets hope that Hyundai or others not gona copy this car .
If it's a good car, why would it be a problem copying it?
*My oh my so many bank buttons in the middle 🤣😱*
Take that to the 🏦
It looks like any of the modern Hyundai
Audi should stick to designing just the headlights
No sunroof option?
Gteat evolution i loved
The front is like a toyota corolla🤔
Awsome, BUT Still they can not make 2 mirrored wheel from the same design...
Too expensive to build
@@ravenheart369 More expensive to design it simmetric?
Реально тупо новый автомобиль )) если я скажу глубокий фейс лифт будет беда))
As an S3 owner, this doesn’t look too attractive, perhaps the S/RS models will look better.
Am I the only one who thinks it's completely dumb to have different front lights to separate car variants but not give the driver the option to customize the layout? Wasted effort for my part
😍😍😍
Too many sharp corners!
Parece um Chevrolet misturado com Citroen
👌
hyundai
meah...
Super sexy car
When Peter Schreyer used to design for Audi, the cars had character as well as beauty. They looked like they were carved from a single billet of steel, and all lines flowed perfectly. That's why Peter Schreyer went on to become the head of Kia Motors ! Unfortunately, Audis now look like a disjointed union of unrelated shapes (and ugly shapes at that). Hexagons are being forced everywhere even when they don't belong, just so the designer can feel he/she created a "unified theme". Yeah, well that theme looks ugly now.
I have been driving Audis for the past 17 years... But now they look to offensive to my eyeballs. I can no longer come out of my house to see a mish-mash of shapes like this in my driveway every morning.
Ihab Fahmy Peter left Audi back in 2007 Walter De Silva was bigger game changer for Audi with 2008 A5, 2008 Audi R8, LED daytime running lights, interior,. The guy also who designed the 2012 A7.
The interior is a huge letdown. Those vents are obnoxious.
I like the car. Except for the Gear Shifter 🤢
1.6 TDI var mı ? 😂
I don’t like curved interiors
Fancy VW Jetta ？？？
Más de lo mismo... El diseño creo que ya tiene mas de 10 años, solo restainling
Dear Mercedes-benz
Please...LEARN something from you competitors
a3 have no sunroof 😠😠😠
По видео морда уродская. Есть ракурсы где норм, но... шляпа!
Without Gear liver it's Not a Car...Shit
innovation in a headlight shape --pure crap
This thing has no character, it looks like just a generic American car of the late 00's or early 10's.
Nah, I prefer A4.
rip audi bye bye
Elantra looks much better thn this
Ugly, tacky, photo prints, front bumper without fog lights, absurd fashion from Mercedes Benz
That is the saddest, unsexiest, soulless car.
FAKE sedan. This has a trunk of only 425 liters when a Peugeot 307 that is a HATCHBACK has a trunk of 430 liters. That is, this crap does not carry the luggage of 4 adults, let alone 5 occupants.
