New A3 trades hatchback versatility for sedan stardom
The Audi A3 hatchback has been something of a niche player in America since it first made its way to our shores for the 2006 model year, but that's about to change with the introduction of the all-new 2015 Audi A3
We've always liked the A3, and even if we're a bit sad to see form trump function for the sake of broader appeal, we're also happy to see a good car on the verge of bigger success
The $30,000 Audi A3
At its starting sticker price of $29,900 plus destination, the 2015 Audi A3 has a turbocharged 1.8-liter, 170-horsepower engine, 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, front-wheel drive, leather seats, panoramic moonroof, Bluetooth connectivity and a retractable 7-inch display with Audi MMI control. Audi is hoping to attract mainstream midsize sedan shoppers with the rethought A3 -- a loaded Honda Accord or Toyota Camry can climb into the low $30,000 range -- and its impressive list of standard features helps
And the $45,000 Audi A3
A fully loaded 2015 Audi A3 tops out around $45,000 with a more powerful 220-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, Quattro all-wheel drive, navigation with voice control and handwriting recognition, higher-resolution retractable display, remote-sensing unlock and start, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, adaptive cruise control, 705-watt Bang & Olufsen audio system (sorry, no rectractable tweeters like in some other Audi vehicles) and USB device connectivity
