Audi A3 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2003–2005) — Second Generation
The second-generation Audi A3 three-door hatchback pairs compact dimensions with a premium cabin and a broad spread of engines, so buyers can choose between economical daily commuting and genuinely quick performance without changing body style.
Audi A3 engine options range widely. The 3.2 MT is a gasoline six with a manual gearbox and all-wheel drive, built for grip and pace. The 1.9 S-tronic diesel uses a robotic dual-clutch transmission with front-wheel drive for low fuel use, while the 2.0 AT gasoline automatic favours relaxed town driving.
