The premium compact segment came into being with the Audi A3 back in 1996 and now the fourth generation of the hugely successful model is being introduced to the market and it is sportier, digitalised and fully connected.
According to Audi, the new A3 Sportback features compact proportions and a sporty design inside and out. On the outside, the single-frame grille and large air inlets at the front end accentuate the dynamic character of the premium compact car. The shoulder of the body extends in a smooth line from the headlights to the rear lights. The surface below is curved inward – a new element of Audi’s design that puts a stronger emphasis on the wheel arches.
