Audi A3 Sportback (2025)
Audi A3 Sportback
The 2025 Audi A3 receives a comprehensive refresh, featuring bolder exterior styling, refined interior touches, enhanced connectivity, and advanced driver-assistance systems, with gasoline, diesel, and plug-in hybrid powertrains, offering a sportier, more technologically capable compact car for European buyers.
Key Points
- The 2025 Audi A3 Sportback receives its first major refresh since the current generation debuted in 2022, featuring a sportier front end with a flatter and wider Singleframe grille, redesigned bumpers, a new diffuser, and updated LED daytime running light signatures that can be personalised by the owner.
- Power comes from a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder producing 201 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch S tronic transmission — with quattro all-wheel drive now standard across the entire lineup for 2025.
- The interior gains a standard 10.25-inch digital driver display paired with a 10.1-inch central infotainment touchscreen, plus wireless device charging — all now standard equipment rather than optional extras as on the pre-facelift model.
- Engine options in Europe include a 1.5-litre 150 PS mild hybrid petrol with 48V technology and a 1.5-litre 150 PS TDI diesel, both paired with the 7-speed S tronic — with additional petrol and diesel variants following later in the model year.
- The A3 Sportback competes directly with the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé, Mercedes-Benz CLA and Acura Integra, with European pricing starting from €35,650 for the Sportback and production continuing at Audi's Ingolstadt factory in Germany.
