Audi has unveiled a series of updates for the A3 lineup for the 2025 model year, encompassing both Sedan and Sportback variants. Additionally, in Europe, a new A3 allstreet version has been introduced, boasting enhanced ground clearance and rugged aesthetics.

The 2025 A3 models showcase a revamped front fascia, featuring a flatter and wider Singleframe grille, accentuated by sharp air intakes and a front splitter. Audi's design team drew inspiration from the brand's RS models for the rear end, incorporating a new bumper and diffuser to enhance the overall aesthetic.
Setting itself apart from its counterparts, the A3 allstreet exudes a distinct rugged appearance. Its suspension has been raised by 15 mm, while enlarged wheels contribute to a 30 mm increase in ground clearance. Standard 17-inch wheels adorn the allstreet, with optional upgrades to 18-inch and 19-inch variants available. Noteworthy additions include a matte black Singleframe front grille, triangular air intakes, standard roof rails, black flared wheel arches, and optional features such as an electric tailgate and a removable tow hitch.
For the 2025 model year, Audi has integrated four configurable LED daytime running light signatures across all A3 models, ensuring enhanced visibility and safety. Standard safety features include Adaptive cruise assist, Audi pre-sense front, collision avoidance systems, and an assisted lane change function.
The interior of the 2025 A3 hosts intriguing updates. While retaining the 10.1-inch touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster from the previous year, Audi has introduced a subscription-based model for basic features like high-beam assist, dual-zone climate control, adaptive cruise control, and smartphone integration. Access to the app store is exclusively granted with the MMI navigation system, with Audi offering add-ons such as adaptive cruise control or Apple CarPlay and Android Auto through subscription plans or permanent purchases.
It's worth noting that this subscription model is specific to the European-spec A3. Audi has yet to confirm if these in-car subscriptions will extend to the US market when the vehicle becomes available for the 2025 model year.
The European lineup commences with the 35 TFSI variants, equipped with a 1.5-liter mild-hybrid petrol engine generating 148 hp, paired with a seven-speed S tronic transmission. A 35 TDI variant, featuring a 2.0-liter diesel engine producing 148 hp and coupled with a seven-speed S Tronic transmission, will also be offered. Additional petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid models are slated for inclusion in the future lineup.
European pricing starts at €35,650 for the A3 Sportback, with an €800 premium for the Sedan variant. The A3 allstreet is priced from €37,450 onwards.
