With the 2024 revamp, Audi didn’t completely reinvent the A3’s exterior, but the car now looks sharper and sportier. The signature honeycomb grille, bold side vents, and angular LED headlights give it a more aggressive front end. New crease lines and a redesigned rear keep it fresh, while still looking unmistakably like an A3.
Even entry-level Sport models are well-equipped, with the following included:
- 17-inch alloy wheels
- LED headlights
- Dual-zone climate control
- 10.1-inch central touchscreen with sat-nav
- Cruise control
- Rear parking sensors
The S line adds a sportier look to the A3 with:
- An ‘S line’ body kit
- 18-inch wheels
- Tinted windows
- Stainless steel pedals
- LED interior lighting
The Black Edition is predominantly a black appearance package with:
- Black exterior styling accents
- Puddle lights
- Black interior trim
Interior and dashboard design
Inside, the latest facelifted A3 feels more modern. The dashboard has a sharper, more dynamic design, trimmed in faux aluminium for a sportier look. It’s still of high quality, as you’d expect from Audi.
Materials and build quality
Audi’s mid-life improvements for the A3 included upping the material quality inside. There’s a new textured fabric on the dashboard and redesigned air vents. The interior lighting is enhanced with brighter LEDs and laser-cut fabric panels. Outside, the matrix LED headlights now come with customizable signatures that can be seen when you unlock the car.
Infotainment, sat-nav and stereo
Every A3 features a 10.25-inch Virtual Cockpit digital display and a 10.1-inch central touchscreen. The system looks sharp and is responsive to inputs. Key features include: Wired Android Auto or Apple CarPlay and Sat-nav.
