6:11 AM EDT, March 12, 2024
This compact crossover is characterized by its increased ground clearance, approximately 1.2 inches higher, and added protective features, giving it a more rugged look. The A3 allstreet is set to make a statement, especially among those who prefer not to choose a full-sized SUV from the Q series.
Visual enhancements
The Allstreet brings updates that are also present in the refreshed Sportback and Sedan models. These improvements include a new Single-Frame grille, LED headlights with customizable light signatures, and an expanded range of equipment and finish options. The lineup introduces colors such as District Green, Progressive Red, and Daytona Gray and offers new wheel designs in sizes ranging from 17 to 19 inches.
Inside, a redesigned gear selector and air vents await. Audi has enhanced the ambient lighting system, offering a selection of up to 30 colors, ensuring the perfect mood for nighttime journeys.
The updated model boasts the Sonos sound system, operated through a new multimedia interface and a 10.1-inch screen. Audi offers an impressive array of apps that are available for download. For convenience, standard features now include adaptive cruise control, easing driving outside urban areas, and park assist, a boon for city driving.
Engine continuity
The engine lineup remains largely unchanged, initially featuring 150-horsepower units – a 1.5 TFSI gasoline engine and a 2.0 TDI diesel, each standardly paired with an S-Tronic automatic transmission. Additional variants are expected to join the lineup in the second quarter 2024.
Orders for the updated A3 are open from March, with prices in Germany starting at €35,650.
