Audi A3 from USA
The Audi A3 is a compact premium segment car that has taken Europe by storm. If you are considering buying a car in the United States, it is worth first to find out what generations of this model are and when it arrived in the United States. You need to know that the first generation with the designation Type 8L was not sold on the market there. Currently, the fourth generation of the Audi A3 is already in the salons. The US has only joined the list of markets for this model since the 2nd generation with the designation Type 8P.
Audi A3 Type 8V (2012-2020)
The Audi A3 Typ 8V was the first model of the Volkswagen Group to use the modular MQB platform. The 3-door hatchback, 5-door hatchback and convertible were also joined by a sedan, which was supposed to be a direct competition for the Mercedes CLA. The car was offered with gasoline engines with a capacity of 1.0 to 2.5, a gasoline and CNG hybrid with a capacity of 1.4 and diesel engines of 1.6 TDI and 2.0 TDI. In 2014, a plug-in hybrid was introduced, which went on sale in the US in 2015 and reached sales of just 49 units.
In the 2013 model year, the Audi S3 with a 2.0 TFSI engine with a capacity of 300 hp appeared and was available in all body versions. In 2015, it was joined by the RS3 with a 2.5 engine with 367 hp. The Audi RS3 has only been sold in the US since 2017.
The list of equipment of the new generation A3 included, among others, the Audi MMI multimedia system with handwriting recognition, an emergency braking system in case of collision detection, active cruise control, 4G LTE modem, collision avoidance system and lane keeping assistant.
In 2016, the car underwent a facelift and used, among other things, Matrix LED headlights, which were previously offered only in the A8 and R8. Radiator dummy was redesigned. Instead of traditional clocks, you could order a 12.3" display.
Audi A3 Typ 8Y (2020)
The latest generation Audi A3 has the designation Type 8Y and is built on the MQB EVO modular platform. The car gained 3 cm in length and width. For a sedan, the difference is 4 cm in favor of the new generation. New in the range of engines is 2.0 with 190 hp with quattro drive. The designation of the plug-in hybrid was changed to the TFSI, as the e-Tron name was reserved for Audi electric cars.
In the S3 model, the same engine that was in the previous generation was left, but the power increased to 310 hp. The Audi S3 for the American market has a newer version of this engine, which generates 306 hp. The Audi RS3 again received a 2.5 engine, and its power is now 400 hp. The American version is devoid of a particulate filter, so its power is 7 hp higher. Instead of a filter, a double catalyst was used here. There are 2 automatic transmissions to choose from — dual-clutch and S-Tronic. The list of options included the RS Dynamic package, which allows you to remove the speed limiter.
In 2024, the car underwent a facelift, which did not bring major changes except for the appearance of a new body variant. We are talking about the A3 Allstreet, which brings to mind the Allroad models and is more of a crossover than a compact car. However, it is not yet known if it will go on sale in the United States.
