→ Read our expert review of the 2024 Audi A3
Can you tell we're not enthused? The A3 is so competent that we're tempted to call it boring. We won't do that, though, because we know the heart of a VW GTI, or at least something akin to it, beats inside. There's a lot of capability and sophistication in this car for the money. ⛐ md
2024 Audi A3 Exterior Photos
The 2024 Audi A3 doesn't draw much attention to itself, which should suit most Audi fans just fine. (Photo: Audi)
Like most Audis, the A3 is graceful in motion. We particularly like this angle because the problematic front fascia is mostly out of view. (Photo: Audi)
The A3 looks the full business when it's bearing down on you from behind. (Photo: Audi)
The A3's headlights appear jagged and discordant compared to the previous generation's smoothly integrated units. Rather un-Audi-like, if you ask us. (Photo: Audi)
The A3's tall and stubby proportions clearly mark it as a subcompact sedan. The next size up is the A4. (Photo: Audi)
Although we recommend the base 40 TFSI front-wheel-drive model with the Premium package, we'll concede that its standard 17-inch wheels (not pictured) are not attractive. To get something like the 18s pictured here, you'll have to pay extra. (Photo: Audi)
As you can see, there isn't much room for a trunk within the A3's tiny footprint. Cargo capacity is more coupe-like than what you might expect in a typical sedan. (Photo: Audi)
We wouldn't give the current A3 any design awards — the headlights and the rest of the front fascia have always looked awkward and disjointed to us — but it's all good from behind the wheel. (Photo: Audi)
On a winding road, the A3's family ties to the VW GTI are palpable. This is a sure-footed sedan that inspires confidence when the going gets twisty. (Photo: Audi)
2024 Audi A3 Interior Photos
The A3's driver seat is a businesslike yet stylish place to be. Audi's impeccable taste is alive and well in this cabin, even if the exterior marks a departure from that norm. (Photo: Audi)
The A3's 10.1-inch touchscreen is one of the prettiest and most functional units in this price range. (Photo: Audi)
If you don't have much use for a backseat, the A3 is right up your alley. Just don't go in thinking that the A3 can ferry around four adults in comfort — it can't. (Photo: Audi)
All A3s come standard with a digital instrument panel, although if you stretch for the Premium Plus trim with the Technology package, you'll get a bigger 12.3-inch HD panel. Even the standard panel (pictured) is slick and attractive. (Photo: Audi)
An excellent dual-cluch automatic transmission comes standard on every 2024 A3. Audi calls it "S Tronic," VW calls it "DSG" — whatever the label says, it's one of the best units in the business, and it helps squeeze as many miles out of each gallon as possible. (Photo: Audi)
