Audi has introduced a host of updates to the A3 for the 2025 model year in both Sedan and Sportback guises while in Europe, a new high-riding A3 allstreet version has been added to the range.
All 2025 A3 models benefit from a revised front fascia that includes a flatter and wider Singleframe grille complemented by two sharp air intakes and a front splitter that Audi says makes the new model look lower. Designers have also taken inspiration from the brand’s RS models at the rear with a new bumper and diffuser.
The A3 allstreet stands out from the rest of the A3 family thanks to its rugged looks. Its suspension has been jacked up by 15 mm (0.59 inches) and the enlarged wheels increase the ground clearance by 30 mm (1.2 inches). As standard, the A3 allstreet lands with 17-inch wheels but can be optioned with 18-inch and 19-inch shoes. Audi has also equipped it with a matte black Singleframe front grille and new triangular air intakes. It is also equipped with roof rails as standard, has black flared wheel arches, and can be optioned with an electric tailgate and a removable tow hitch.

Elsewhere for 2025, Audi has added four configurable LED daytime running light signatures and all models come loaded with standard safety features, including Adaptive cruise assist, Audi pre-sense front, collision avoidance, and an assisted lane change function.
Plenty of changes have also been made in the cabin. It includes new air vents, interior lighting, a redesigned center console with an adjustable armrest, relocated speakers as part of the optional Sonos sound system, and a decorative fabric inlay made from 100% recycled polyester. All models have a 10.1-inch infotainment display and four USB-C charging ports. In certain markets, like the UK, owners can add adaptive cruise control and high-beam assist through the myAudi app via either a one-month, six-month, one-year, three-year, or lifelong subscription.
The European range will start with the 35 TFSI variants, powered by a 1.5-liter mild-hybrid petrol producing 148 hp and coupled to a seven-speed S tronic transmission, although a six-speed manual will be added at a later date. A 35 TDI with a 2.0-liter diesel, 148 hp, and a seven-speed S Tronic will also be offered. Further petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid models will be added to the line-up in the future.
