The All-New 2025 Audi A3: Enhanced Features and Fresh Design
Audi has unveiled the mid-life refresh of its popular A3 compact sedan for 2025, featuring a blend of enhanced standard features and striking design updates. This refreshed version is now available to order in the United States, carrying a starting price of $39,495, including a $1,295 delivery charge. Let’s dive into the details of what the 2025 Audi A3 has to offer.
Key Highlights and Pricing
The 2025 Audi A3 sees a notable price increase from its 2024 counterpart, which started at $36,895. However, this bump in price brings added value: all-wheel drive now comes standard. For those eyeing the 2024 model with all-wheel drive, the price would rise to $38,895, making the 2025 version a competitive choice with its new enhancements.
Bold New Exterior Updates
The 2025 A3 boasts significant cosmetic updates. The redesigned front fascia features a sleek, frameless front grille, paired with redesigned LED headlights and taillights. Buyers have the option to choose from two new wheel designs and four new exterior color options: Arcona White, Arrow Grey Pearl Effect, Progressive Red Metallic, and District Green Metallic.
