Today on Savagegeese, we delve into the 2025 Audi A3, a small premium car that's received a midcycle update alongside its siblings, the S3 and RS3. This Audi competes head-to-head with the BMW 2 series and Acura Integra in the US market, offering a sedan-only configuration. While the styling may lean towards the conservative side, Audi allows for some vibrant color choices to spice things up. Inside, the A3 boasts physical controls, an intuitive infotainment system, and comfortable seats, making for a pleasant driving experience. The team notes that while the A3 may not be as quiet as an A4, it certainly outperforms a Golf in terms of noise levels.
Under the hood, the A3 Quattro impresses with its standard all-wheel drive setup and a 2L engine that now delivers increased torque. On the other hand, the S3 model introduces a brand-new all-wheel drive system with torque vectoring, promising a more dynamic ride. Pricing-wise, the A3 starts just under $40,000, offering good value for its segment, while the S3 kicks off at under $50,000, creeping towards the $60,000 mark when fully equipped. During a test drive, the team is pleasantly surprised by the A3's quick acceleration and smooth power delivery, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a reliable compact premium vehicle.
While the Audi A3 may not set your heart racing with excitement, its blend of conservative styling and functionality makes it a solid contender in the premium compact car segment. The team finds the A3 to be a practical and competent option, especially for those who prioritize usability and performance over flashy aesthetics. Comparisons to rivals like the Mazda 3 turbo and BMW 2 series highlight the A3's strengths in terms of comfort, driving experience, and overall value for money. In conclusion, the 2025 Audi A3 may not be the most thrilling ride out there, but it certainly ticks the boxes for those looking for a dependable and well-rounded premium vehicle in a compact package.
