Design of the 2022 A3

Longer, wider and taller than the 2021 Audi A3 it replaces, the all-new 2022 Audi A3 is nothing short of sublime. Now in its 4th generation, this Audi sedan has sold more than 5 million units since its first appearance in 1996 and with this new look, we’re sure to see more of them on our roads in Montreal and everywhere else. With its more massive single-frame grille, athletic lines, boomerang-shaped headlights and slightly curved sides, the new 2022 Audi A3 is sure to provoke admiration and envy wherever it goes. The manufacturer even added the four rings at the bottom of the rear door, an unusual but elegant detail.

Specifications of the new Audi, trim levels and prices

Available only as a 4-door model here in North America, the hatchback version being reserved only for the European market, the 2022 Audi A3 is also offered with only one powertrain, a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo with 201 horsepower. This engine is equipped with a mild hybrid 48-volt electric system. The 7-speed automatic transmission, which is so efficient and fast, is still in use.

As mentioned earlier, this Audi A3 gains volume by lengthening by 4 centimetres, widening by 2 centimetres and is 1 centimetre higher. The rear passenger headroom is increased by 2 centimetres; as for the trunk capacity, it remains unchanged at 425 litres.

Other new features on the Audi A3 for sale soon include:

  • 10.1-inch touchscreen
  • 12.3-inch digital cockpit
  • Redesigned headlights and taillights
  • New, more precise suspensions
  • Available carbon-fibre decklid spoiler

At the time of writing, we don’t know the versions or prices of the new 2022 A3, but we suspect that they will not differ much from the current generation, that is, it will most likely be offered in the same models that go as follows:

  • 40 Komfort
  • 40 Progressiv
  • 45 Komfort
  • 45 Progressiv
  • 45 Technik

As for the price, which is not yet known, it is likely that it will be revised upwards slightly. If you choose the S line Sport package, you will get 18-inch wheels in 5-spoke Y-design, stainless steel pedals, front sport seats and a sport suspension. Of course, it also comes with its famous quattro all-wheel drive system, the efficiency and reputation of which need no introduction.

What’s inside the new A3

The brand new MMI touch response infotainment system, featuring a 10.1-inch screen, offers a vivid and clear view and has been angled a little more towards the driver for more intuitive and ergonomic use. Also new on the A3 is the available head-up display, which gives you an overview of all relevant information without compromising your safety.

Optional equipment includes the adaptive cruise control with Stop&Go, which maintains a pre-set distance from the vehicle in front of you. Another safety feature is the matrix-design LED headlights for both high beam and low beam with multiple segment LED daytime running lights, so you always get a clear view. Not surprisingly, the A3 sedan is packed with driver-assist technologies and safety features to make every ride a safe one.

As usual, expect a flawlessly finished interior, where high-quality materials and high-end finishes form a sophisticated and luxurious marriage, for truly exceptional ambiance and comfort.
