When Audi introduced the first generation of the A3, it offered it as a three-door-only affair, while a sedan was not even considered, although that version came alive along with the third generation of this moniker in 2013.

AUDI A3 Sedan

Audi introduced the third generation of the A3 in 2013. After three years, the German carmaker showed the facelifted version for the entire range, including the sedan version.

Audi introduced the third generation of the A3 in 2012, and in the following year, it surprised its customers with a sedan and a convertible version of this upscale compact segment.

More expensive than the Ford Focus or the VW Golf, the Audi A3 offered a roomy cabin with nice luxury touches. Sharing its platform with the VW Golf and the Seat Leon, the A3 was a better choice.

The third generation of the Audi A3 was unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. It was lighter, better equipped, and offered a better fuel-efficiency than before.

The second generation of the Audi A3 was launched in 2003 and it received a facelift in 2008. The upcoming regulations forced the German premium car-manufacturer to do some changes.

Audi launched the second generation of the A3 in 2003, and just a year later, in June 2004, it introduced the five-door version that came with a mild change at the front.

There were not too many compact-segment premium hatchbacks in 2003 when Audi introduced the second generation of its Golf-based vehicle.

The first generation of the A3 was the first compact-hatchback Audi in the premium segment. The result exceeded expectations and, over time, evolved from a simple, 3-door hatchback, into a full range.
