Description
Audi says the new A3 sedan boasts coupe-like styling, but to our eyes, the greenhouse taper isn't all that aggressive, which should be good news for those who occasionally (or, if you're feeling extra European, frequently) carry around rear-seat passengers.
Today, Audi is sharing the specs of the European-market A3, which will be offered with multiple gasoline and diesel engines. In Europe, the initial gasoline offering will be the A3 35 TFSI model, which will pack a turbocharged four-cylinder producing approximately 150 horsepower. A three-cylinder model, dubbed the 30 TFSI, will follow, making about 115 horses. Diesel models with similar outputs will also be offered in Europe. The 48-volt mild hybrid system contributes nearly 37 pound-feet of torque, which should feel substantial in such a small package.
