Design and Features

The Audi A3 has always carried familiar Audi elements in a smaller package, and that becomes even more prominent for 2025. In addition to slightly revised front and rear facias, the headlights are updated to very premium Audi lights, with reconfigurable Daytime Running Lights. The S3, and upcoming RS3, are still available for even sportier elements and more performance. For more design details, watch our detailed full review at the bottom of this article!
