Audi A3 does have a sedan version, with body dimensions of 4554mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1460mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2680mm. The Audi A3 is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, which delivers a maximum horsepower of 150 HP, a maximum torque of 250 Nm, and a maximum power output of 110 kW. In terms of the transmission system, the engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Audi A3 features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of multi-link independent suspension. The body structure is of a unibody design.
Yes, the Audi A3 does have a Sedan version. Speaking from my own driving experience, I test-drove this car at a dealership a few years ago. Its overall design is quite stylish, with smooth waistlines and a rounded rear end. It offers quick handling response, a firm steering wheel feel, and a fairly spacious back seat—more than enough for weekend trips with a family of three. Unlike the A3 hatchback, the trunk is deeper, making it easy to fit suitcases and strollers without feeling cramped. I guess it’s particularly popular in the Chinese market because when young people choose it as an entry-level luxury car, they’re often drawn to its sedan styling. It competes with the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class but is slightly more affordable, with the 1.5T version starting at around 200,000 RMB—pretty reasonable. If you’re unsure about specific models, I’d recommend checking the A3 Sedan’s configuration sheet. Optional features like matrix headlights are pretty cool. Remember, test-drive a few models before buying, compare space and performance, and don’t just focus on looks.
The Audi A3 definitely has a Sedan version, and I see it frequently in my daily driving. While the hatchback might be more common in European and American markets, the sedan variant dominates here as people prefer the traditional sedan's sense of stability. From my observation, the A3 Sedan's trunk capacity is slightly larger than the Hatchback, making it practical for commuting or school runs. The entry-level model comes with a 1.4T engine, offering decent fuel efficiency, and cabin noise at around 100 km/h on highways is well-controlled. Compared to rivals like the Toyota Corolla Sedan, the A3 clearly excels in refinement, though maintenance costs are slightly higher. When choosing a trim, I'd recommend checking for China VI compliance—electric variants are also gaining traction amid the NEV trend. Overall, the sedan design solidifies its position in the compact car segment; whether it's worth buying depends on your budget.
