Audi’s new and updated A3 sedan is all set for its India debut on April 6th. The refreshed A3 version features a smaller 1.4-litre TFSI engine developing about 150bhp of power and 250Nm of torque as it does in the Audi A4. The engine is mated to a seven-speed S-tronic gearbox. The diesel verison will have the 2.0 litre TDI serving up 141bhp and 320Nm torque. The six-speed dual clutch automatic sends all that power to the front wheels. On the inside, the top variant of this model features a seven-inch retractable screen for the MMI infotainment system, climate control, powered front seats, front and rear parking sensors and a panoramic sunroof. You also get a wireless charging box for your smartphone, but you might miss features such as the Virtual Cockpit instrument cluster, start/stop button and keyless entry. Exterior changes include headlamps that resemble those of the A4 sedan, new and sharper bumper, reprofiled foglamp enclosures and angular single-frame grille with revisions to the tail lamps and bumper at the rear. The A3 sedan is meaner and more aggressive looking, and will offer competition to the recently updated Mercedes-Benz CLA and A-Class.
