The Audi A3 shows that small, urban-efficient cars can also have style, performance and features. The Audi A3 has lead the way in the new premium compact car segment since its U.S. launch in 2005. By 2009, worldwide sales of the A3 had surpassed 1.9 million, and that number continues to grow today.

Audi has made available a number of upscale features available for the 2010 A3, including upgraded wheels and standard Xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights on Premium Plus versions. Every 2010 A3 showcases the sporty Audi DNA and the S line exterior upgrades now come standard on all models in the range. quattro® all-wheel drive is now available with the award-winning 2.0 TFSI® engine as well.

The A3 is also available in a TDI clean diesel model as well. The A3 TDI offers 140 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque, and model performs quite briskly and efficiently and offers unmatched performance with its EPA-estimated 30/42 city/highway fuel efficiency. The new clean diesel engine variant is expected to become more than 40 percent of A3 sales volumes in the U.S.

Audi is still the standard by which luxury interiors are judged, and the 2010 A3 is no exception. A3 Buyers can choose wood-accented interior details for the first time in 2010, and slick looking leather/alcantara seats are available on Titanium Sport models as well. The A3 now comes in either Premium or Premium Plus trim, allowing the buyer to add popular luxury features with one convenient click.
