2024 Audi A3: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 Audi A3 is largely a carryover, with no major mechanical or lineup changes. The main update is a HomeLink garage-door opener added to the Convenience package.
About the 2024 Audi A3
4th generation A3 sedan (8Y), third U.S. model year before the 2025 mid-cycle exterior and drivetrain update.
Audi positions the A3 as a compact luxury sedan that gives you much of the look, feel, and everyday usefulness of a larger Audi in a smaller, city-friendlier size. Its core appeal is polished daily driving: tidy dimensions, an upscale cabin, strong tech integration, and a more mature feel than many entry-luxury rivals. In this class, the A3 stands out more for design, cabin quality, and all-around ease of use than for outright performance.
The 2024 A3 is a small luxury sedan focused on everyday comfort and easy-to-use technology. Premium has leather upholstery, heated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Premium Plus adds adaptive cruise control with lane centering, blind-spot monitoring, easier parking features, and more cabin trim and lighting.
