In preparation for the German showrooms next February, the collection of available A3 compact class is expanded in Ingolstadt, Germany. Customers now have the options of four different engines and a different array of extras.

The A3’s engine comes in two petrol and two TDI engine options with a range of 77 kW/105 hp to 147 kW/200 hp. Audi is presenting the A3 convertible with 17- inch wheels, sport chassis and sport seats in the Ambition line. An S Line exterior sports package is also available for the Quattro model. Its vinyl roof can open and close in just nine seconds and is offered in fully automatic, semi-automatic and special sound-proof variants.

Audi stated that they decided on for the traditional vinyl roof because of “Advantages in space-saving design and more harmonious proportions.”

The roof folds together in a Z-shape fashion when closing thus taking up a fewer space avoiding the need to shift the rear seats forward. The windscreen has the same angle as the usual model. The large back window is also heated.

Along with the bonus features are a multi-functional leather steering wheel, a more comfortable air conditioning system, heated leather seats, a parking assistant, xenon plus headlights and unique curvature lighting.
