A viable alternative for A4 customers, this new model has 45 more liters of boot space than the A3 Sportback for a total of 425 liters. To ensure optimal interior space, the proportions have changed, as the A3 Saloon is longer by 14mm, wider by 11mm and 9mm lower for stability.

A choice of either Sport or S line trim levels will be available in the UK. Initially, only halogen headlights for the Sport and xenon for the S line will be available, but full-LED will be launched later in 2013.

Prices will start at £24,305 for the A3 Saloon 1.4 TFSI in Sport trim with S tronic gearbox. The 1.8 TFSI begins at £25,955 and also comes with S tronic, but the 2.0 TDI is only available with a manual at £24,275.
