Reviews SummaryThe 2022 Audi A3 is a premium compact sedan entering a new generation of production. The four-door is available in three trim levels, including the higher-performance S3 variant, with a starting price at $33,900 and going to $51,500. Front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard on the A3, while Quattro all-wheel drive (AWD) is available on the A3 and standard on the S3. Audi has added upscale features, both standard and available, to give its entry-level compact sedan more of a premium presence. | |
Reviews SummaryThe all-new, third-generation X1 is zippy and fun enough to be worthy of the distinction, but with new capability and plenty of cargo space, it’s bringing the utility, too. | |
