According to overseas media reports, the Audi A3 is about to usher in a facelift in the North American market, and since the front-wheel drive model will be discontinued in 2025, the new car will only bring a four-wheel drive version. It is reported that the horsepower provided by the 2.0 TFSI engine remains the same at 201 horsepower. Thanks to the increased torque, the 2025 Audi A3 accelerates from 0 to 96 km/h in 6 seconds, 0.3 seconds faster than the previous model. In addition, the updated S3 takes 4.4 seconds, and the high-performance version gets an additional 22 horsepower, for a total of 328 horsepower.
In addition, the 2025 Audi A3 will be sold in Europe at the same time as the sedan and the more practical five-door Sportback. For 2025, the United States spec A3 has standard 17-inch V-spoke wheels and optional 18-inch dual-spoke alloy wheels with a two-tone finish. Available in four new body colours: Arkona White, Arrow Grey Pearl Effect, Progressive Red Metallic and Area Green Metallic.
Inside, the 2025 Audi A3 comes standard with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, and ambient lighting. The base model also includes two USB-C ports on the front and two ports on the rear, as well as a three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel. Upgrade to the S3, which has standard dual-zone automatic climate control, contour lighting, stainless steel pedals, a black canopy, and illuminated thresholds. What's more, the S3 is equipped with an RS3 rear torque divider.
The premium interior of the 2025 Audi A3 Quattro starts at $39,495, which is $600 more expensive than last year's all-wheel drive model. The S3 now starts at $49,995, an increase of $1,500. There's no word on the RS3 yet, but the five-cylinder model debuted in Europe last month, and we expect it to be slightly more expensive than the upcoming model.
