2006 Audi A3 Hatchback

The Audi A3 isn’t merely what’s new; the German automaker says the A3, a compact five-door hatchback, is what’s next. The A3 is the first in what will be a succession of small and dynamic, but premium, vehicles that will be introduced in the coming years from automakers worldwide. Audi launched the A3 in the United States in mid-2005, and recently expanded the range with a second model, which is equipped with a V-6 engine and all-wheel drive.
