The Audi A3 is completely redesigned for 2015. Unlike previous model years, with the A3 positioned as a 4-door hatchback, the new A3 is instead a small sedan. The premium sedan is offered in three different trims, with either turbocharged 1.8L or 2.0L power mated to a 6-speed Audi S tronic dual-clutch transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, with Audi's excellent quattro all-wheel drive available, and Audi claims the 2.0 is capable of 0-60 mph is 5.8 seconds. Arriving later in 2014 will be an A3 cabriolet, an A3 TDI clean diesel, and a potent S3, with a gasoline-electric hybrid A3 e-tron coming in 2015. Pricing for the new A3 sedan starts at $29,900.
SelectBrowse ListingsWhile the Audi A3 was introduced to the United States in 2006, the S3 performance model was not part of the line-up. Despite the S3 existing in Europe since 1999, it would not be until the 2015 redesign of the Audi A3 that American buyers could purchase the sport compact vehicle. Offered exclusively with the new sedan body style, the 2015 Audi S3 is equipped with a 292-horsepower, 2.0-liter TFSI engine mated to a quattro all-wheel drive system. A six-speed s tronic dual-clutch transmission is fitted to the engine providing manual-like shifting performance with the ease of an automatic. Acceleration time from 0 to 60 miles per hour is 4.7 seconds. Performance specific sport suspension with available Audi magnetic ride sport suspension and upgraded braking are among modifications made for the Audi S3 that is also defined by unique exterior bodywork.
