THE Audi A3 and RS 3 Sportback and Sedan head into 2025 with a sportier look, refreshed design elements and enhanced standard specification.
In addition, new materials have been applied for increased comfort, and highly specified and eye-catchingly designed Black Edition and Carbon Edition derivatives will form part of the range.
Later this year, these models will be supplemented with the S3 Sportback and Sedan.
For the time being, Audi South Africa will offer the standard A3 range with the lauded 1.4-litre 35 TFSI turbocharged petrol engine developing 110 kW and 250 Nm of torque. It’s coupled with a slick-shifting eight-speed tiptronic automatic transmission.
Buyers can select either S line or Black Edition trim for the Sportback and Sedan models.
The RS 3 Sportback and Sedan, meanwhile, retain the legendary 2.5-litre TFSI five-cylinder engine producing 294kW and 500Nm.
The RS 3 accelerates to 100km/h from standstill in just 3.8 seconds.
