Audi A3

Audi established the premium compact segment with the A3 in 1996. The fourth generation of the successful model is now receiving an update that – along with a sportier appearance – includes new design elements and numerous digital offers. Significantly expanded standard equipment increases comfort, selectable daytime running light signatures and flexible subscriptions for functions on demand ensure a high degree of individualization. With a higher battery capacity, DC charging at fast-charging stations and an electric range of up to 143 kilometers (88.9 miles), the Audi A3 Sportback TFSI e combines dynamic driving performance with increased comfort. The A3 allstreet, a distinctive crossover, is a new addition to the portfolio. With its characteristic off-road look, three centimeters more ground clearance than the A3 Sportback and the raised seating position, it offers an SUV-like driving experience and a high level of functionality. The Audi S3 is displaying a new level of driving dynamics: Its more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 333 PS and 420 Nm combines with the torque splitter, new steering knuckles, and optimized steering for strong performance and agile handling. The Audi RS 3, the top model and pinnacle of performance, is now even sportier with the upgrade.

50 years of the Audi five-cylinder

Audi will celebrate a very special anniversary in 2026: 50 years of the five-cylinder engine. The brand with the four rings first introduced this engine in 1976 in the second-generation Audi 100. This was followed by upgrades and new developments with turbocharging, exhaust gas purification, and four-valve technology, rally engines, and five-cylinder diesel engines. Currently, the 2.5 TFSI in the Audi RS 3 continues the great tradition of five-cylinder engines

Maximum flexibility: Audi’s plug-in hybrids
In addition to fully electric vehicles, Audi is also focusing on plug-in hybrids. The new e-hybrid models combine electric efficiency with traditional combustion-engine technology. This makes them especially versatile and well-suited for everyday use. Short distances can be covered locally with zero emissions and near-silent electric driving, while the combustion engine ensures range and convenience on longer trips. The intelligent and efficient mix of drive types enables a sporty yet comfortable driving experience.
