Audi A3 Sedan 2023

The all-new Audi A3 Sedan made its presence known to the Philippine market in April, 2021. Featuring a radically redesigned exterior and a revamped interior. At launch, the Audi A3 Sedan featured two engine options, a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine and a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel engine. The A3 Sedan is only available with an automatic transmission.

The A3 nameplate made its first appearance in 2014, with the intent to take on the premium compact sedan market here in the Philippines. Initially, the third-generation A3 Sedan came in three different versions: the 2.0 TDI Ambition, the midrange 2.0 TDI Attraction, and the premium 1.8 TFSI.

Since the A3 Sedan is a compact car, it presents a comfortable ride along with a tame, and engaging driving experience. Like its predecessor, the current A3 Sedan rides on the Volkswagen MQB platform. Engine options for the A3 Sedan include a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine which can put out 177 hp and 250 Nm of torque and a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine which pumps out 148 hp and 320 Nm of torque. Power is delivered to the front-wheels via a seven-speed automatic for the petrol powered variant and a six-speed automatic transmission for the diesel version. 

The A3 Sedan has MacPherson struts up front and a mulit-link suspension setup at the back. The car rides on 17-inch alloy wheels housing ventilated disc brakes at the front and solid disc brakes at the rear providing consistent and powerful braking.

Step inside the Audi A3 Sedan, and you'll find a luxurious and driver-focused cabin. The interior is crafted with Audi’s trademark styling, offering a blend of comfort and sophistication.
