Audi A3 Sedan Preview

The A3 sedan is Audi’s answer to Mercedes-Benz CLA and BMW 1 Series sedan. The sedan was unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show and is set to debut in India at the 2014 Auto Expo, to slot in below the A4 as one of the entry-level models for the German marque.

At 4.46 meter, the A3 sedan is shorter than the A4 and has MQB underpinning like most other new Volkswagen models. The overall appearance is typical Audi and most design elements resemble with the A3 Sportback. Audi says that the new model is a cross between coupe and three-box design.

This sedan is smaller than the A4, so the space will also be a relatively less. The front seat space won’t be much of an issue, but the rear could be a little cramped. The boot space at 425 liters will be sufficient for most occasions.

The features list will include Audi MMI and the all the safety bits including ABS-EBS, ESP and airbags. The A3 sedan will be available in both petrol and diesel guise in India – the petrol version will be most probably be powered by 1.8-litre TFSI unit developing 168bhp and 320Nm, the oil burner is expected to use the 2.0-litre TDI mill with output of 141bhp and 320Nm. Both the engines will power the front wheels via seven-speed DSG gearbox.

The Audi A3 sedan is expected to be launched in April 2014. Initially the car might be imported to India as a CBU, but Audi will soon start CKD operations from its Aurangabad plant.
