The 2021 Audi A3 Sedan has
been spied almost completely uncovered. However, this is the long-wheelbase
version that is made in China. India is likely
to get the standard wheelbase version, which is yet to enter production in
Europe. The second-gen Audi A3 Sedan should have
design cues very similar to those of the all-new Audi A3 Sportback. The new generation sedan has a profile barely any different from
its predecessor, which wasn’t made in a long-wheelbase version.
The 2021 Audi A3 Sedan doesn’t try to look
too coupe-ish, something we really admire about it. With a short bonnet, sleek
greenhouse and a tight tail section ending with a ducktail spoiler, the all-new
four-door compact luxury sedan from the four-ringed brand sticks to the
perfected formula of its predecessor. The interior would be the same as that of
the latest hatchback, clean, minimalistic and sophisticated just enough.
The all-new Audi A3 Sedan should be
slightly longer than the outgoing model, which measures 4,458 mm in length. It
should be offered with a 1.5-litre TFSI petrol engine (150 PS/250 Nm) w/o a
mild-hybrid system, a 2.0-litre TFSI petrol engine in two versions (190 PS/320
Nm and 230 PS/350 Nm) and a 2.0-litre TDI diesel engine in three versions (116
PS/300 Nm, 150 PS/360 Nm and 190 PS/400 Nm).
As for the transmissions, buyers will have
the option to go for a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch
automatic transmission. The quattro AWD system will be available. Matrix LED
headlights, 19-inch wheels, 12.3-inch virtual instrument cluster and 10.1-inch
touchscreen infotainment system with sat-nav, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto,
LTE-A, Wi-Fi hotspot and Alexa will be some of the car’s main features.
Audi will likely launch the 2021 A3 Sedan
in India in mid-2021. In the immediate future, the company will launch the
all-new Q3 compact luxury SUV here this month.
