About the 2025 Audi A3
4th generation A3 / current U.S. generation introduced for 2022; 2025 is the mid-cycle refresh year.
Audi positions the A3 as a compact luxury sedan that gives you the premium feel and usefulness of a larger car in a city-friendly size. Its core appeal is straightforward: upscale cabin design, strong everyday tech, standard all-wheel drive for the U.S. market, and responsive turbo power in a sedan that is easier to live with than larger luxury models. Review sources also consistently point to its polished interior and tidy road manners as key reasons buyers shop it against the CLA and 2 Series Gran Coupe.
The 2025 A3 remains a compact luxury sedan with a two-trim U.S. lineup. The 40 TFSI Premium has a panoramic sunroof, heated leather front seats, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The 40 TFSI Premium Plus adds adaptive cruise assist with lane guidance, wireless phone charging, driver-seat memory, and proximity entry.
