Pricing and specification details have been revealed for the new Audi A3, which gains a wide-reaching overhaul for 2024 in saloon and Sportback guises.
The A3 Sportback costs from £32,035, while the more practical saloon is slightly more expensive at £32,600. Both variants are available to order now.
As standard, the A3 comes with LED headlights, electric sports seats, a 10.1in touchcsreen infotainment system, wireless phone charging and voice control.
Other equipment, such as Audi’s digital cockpit, front and rear parking sensors, heated seats and three-zone climate control are also included as standard for the first time on the A3 model range.
Mid-range S-Line models gain larger 18in wheels plus ambient lighting, a flat-bottomed sports steering wheel, S-line styling cues and sports suspension.
Black Edition cars get 19in wheels, fabric interior trim, plus a black exterior styling pack, and the doors will project the Audi logo onto the tarmac below when opening the door.
The revamped A3 will initially go on sale with a choice of two powertrains: the 35 TFSI 1.5-litre mild-hybrid petrol and the 35 TDI 2.0-litre diesel.
Both units offer an unchanged 148bhp. A revamped plug-in hybrid is among the other engine options that will be launched later this year.
The Audi A3 follows its Volkswagen Golf and Skoda Octavia platformmates in receiving a wide-reaching refresh for 2024, with a modernised interior, trick new lights and a more powerful S3 among the headlines.

Jesus wept. Why are German cars wilfully ugly?
Not just ugly, but so aggressive. This one is practically screaming "get out of my way you peasant". Surely we need a bit more peace and tranquil on our roads. Cars are not weapons of war!
Mazda has Kodo, Audi has the 'Corporate Douchebag' styling language. One can only assume they tested it amongst a group of angry 25-40yo corporate douchebag types.
And who thought it's a good idea to make the grille bulge forward, so it looks like a particularly slow person sticking their tongue behind their bottom lip?
Well, well, well! Now it is finally a premium product. You pay for what you get for free in a Renault Clio.
