Preview: 2022 Audi A3 lets you move up in the compact class for $34,945


Audi unveiled a redesigned A3 last year but we won't see the new compact in the United States until later this year. The new A3 arrives here as a 2022 model and in sedan guise only. In other markets a hatchback is available.

Audi on Thursday revealed a starting price of $34,945, including destination. For this you get a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 mated to a mild-hybrid system and 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, with the peak output registering at 201 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is available for an extra $2,000.

Buyers seeking more power will be able to opt for an S3 arriving alongside the A3. The S3 also comes with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 but a much healthier 306 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. The S3 also comes with all-wheel drive as standard. Read full car article here.
