The 2016 Audi A3 is part of the model's third generation, positioned as a premium compact sedan with a sharp design and advanced features. It offers front-wheel drive in standard format but Quattro all-wheel drive system is available on higher trims. Engine choices range from the base 170-hp turbocharged four-cylinder to a robust 220-hp version. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard across the line. Fuel economy is a key strength, particularly with the TDI diesel that was offered. Inside, every A3 features a power-operated MMI infotainment system with a 7-inch display, Bluetooth, and a 10-speaker sound system, while options include navigation and a 4G LTE data connection with a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. Safety-wise, a backup camera was made standard this model year, and the car offers advanced features such as forward collision warning and mitigation.
