Audi’s first notchback model in the premium compact class, the Audi A3 Sedan’s sporty character is dazzling. It all starts with a curb weight of just 1,250 kg (2,755.78 lb) for the four-door 1.4 TFSI with S tronic, thanks to Audi’s lightweight design mastery. Many of the components in the occupant cell are made of high-end hot-formed steel; the hood is aluminum. The low weight of the chassis and engines also sets new standards
Based on the latest A3
architecture, the compact sedan is 4.46-meters (14.63 ft) long and has a
2.64-meter (8.66 ft) wheelbase. The car is 1.80-meters (5.91 ft) wide
or 11mm (0.43 in) wider than the A3 Sportback, while its height (1.42
meters/4.66 ft) is 9mm (0.35 in) lower than that of the five-door model.
Trunk capacity is 425 liters (15 cubic feet).
