Audi's entry level model is the compact A3. Powered by a standard 2.0L turbo, the 4-door hatchback A3 offers performance in a practical, affordable package. Although the A3 2.0T FSI is initially available as a FWD model only, a 3.2L V-6 version equipped with quattro AWD will follow. As expected, the A3 has the unmatched Audi interior style that separates it from most competitors.

What Changed:

Audi tries its hand at an entry-level model. The A3 is a compact hatchback with 4 doors. The A3 is initially only available as a FWD model powered by a 2.0L turbocharged 4. Later in the model year a 3.2L V6 powered quattro AWD model will become available.
