Audi A3 does have a hatchback version. Dimensions of the hatchback version: The hatchback version measures 4343mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1458mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2630mm. Engine of the hatchback version: The A3 hatchback is equipped with a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, which delivers a maximum power of 110kW and a peak torque of 250Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power output at 5000-6000 rpm and its peak torque at 1750-3000 rpm. It features direct fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.
The Audi A3 definitely comes in a hatchback version! My first luxury brand car was actually a used A3 hatchback, which I drove for three years and found extremely user-friendly. The hatchback is over ten centimeters shorter than the sedan version, making it particularly agile for parking and navigating narrow alleys. With the rear seats folded down, it can even fit a full-sized road bike. However, it's worth noting that the domestically produced A3L models are all extended sedans – for the hatchback, you'll need to go for the imported version, which costs about 20,000 to 30,000 RMB more but comes standard with Quattro all-wheel drive, providing exceptional stability when driving on mountain roads in the rain. Personally, I feel the hatchback design is more classic, especially with those signature sickle-shaped daytime running lights that give it much more character than the sedan version.
