2008 Audi A3 Overview

Introduction

The A3 is an example of the exquisite sensibilities in design and use of materials that distinguishes the contemporary Audi. It is a combination of open-road dynamism, long-haul friendliness, around-town usefulness and fuel economy.

The Audi A3 is a front-wheel drive sporty compact that has a 200-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It comes standard with a six-speed manual and is available with an automatic S-tronic transmission that allows manual selection of gears. A 250-hp 3.2-liter V6 engine is also available with quattro all-wheel drive. Some high-tech A3 features include Bluetooth phone connectivity, light and rain sensors, and dual-zone automatic climate control. Passenger safety is provided by side-impact airbags, side curtain airbags, active front head restraints, and optional rear side-impact airbags.

For 2008, the Audi A3 has a new Titanium package that features interior and exterior styling changes.
