Audi A3 Engines and Transmissions

The Audi A3 engine range spans small turbocharged gasoline units and economical diesels. A 1.4 S-tronic pairs a gasoline engine with a fast dual-clutch robotic transmission driving the front wheels, the 1.6 AT adds a conventional automatic, while a 2.0 diesel with a manual gearbox and all-wheel drive suits long trips and poor traction.

Audi A3 Trims and Equipment

Audi A3 trim levels sit on top of a technical version rather than replacing it: the same 1.6 AT gasoline front-wheel-drive car can be sold as Attraction, a comfort-oriented package. Equipment differs mainly in upholstery, climate control, wheels and driver assistance, so always check the individual car's specification.
