Inovev plans 200,000 units per year of the new Audi A3
- Audi has unveiled its new generation of its compact A3 sedan (segment C), which will only be available in a four-door (Sedan) or five-door (Hatchback) version, and no longer in a three-door or convertible version.
- The new model is based on the latest evolution of the group's modular platform, known as the MQB. This platform is already used on the recent Volkswagen Golf and Seat Leon. The new Audi A3 is still growing with this new generation, since it now measures 4.34m long and 1.84m wide, while its height is identical to the previous model.
- The new A3, which competes with compact sedans in the Premium category, such as the Mercedes A-Class and BMW 1 Series, will still be produced at two sites in Europe, the first in Ingolstadt (Germany) for the hatchback version and the second in Gyor ( Hungary) for the sedan version, unless in the future Audi decides to do like Mercedes with its Class A, i.e. transfer part of the Audi A3 hatchback from Ingolstadt to Gyor in the event of a major success the A3.
- The engines fitted to the new Audi A3 are those offered on the Volkswagen Golf: 3 cylinders 1.0 TFSI petrol of 110hp, 4 cylinders 1.5 TFSI petrol of 150hp, 4 cylinders 2.0 TDI diesel of 116hp and 150hp. A plug-in hybrid engine will be added to the range in a few months, probably this summer. Another lighter hybridization mode, already in place on A4, A5, A6 and A7, and consisting of a 48 volt system adapted to 1.5 TFSI will be available soon. Inovev plans to produce 200,000 units per year in Europe of the new Audi A3, because sedans are less popular today, especially when they are engine.
