The 2025 A3 sedan is the smallest car Audi sells in North America but despite its diminutive size this compact four-door delivers a lively driving experience, one that's reminiscent of what you'll find in the brand's larger sports sedans. A 201-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder delivers modest pep, but runs smoothly and is eager to rev. For m...
The A3 receives a light styling refresh for 2025 that includes tweaks to the car's grille, headlamps, bumpers, wheels, and rear diffuser.
