This Audi A3 Concept will show at Geneva and is the latest in the coupĂ©-sedan trend. The A3 sedan is strictly concept at the moment and it will be interesting to see in the future how it might fit in with the rest of the four-door, sedan models in the Audi range. It will be a four-seater model that Audi describes as “notchback” and if it makes production, it could be headed for the Chinese market, or even the US market due its aversion to hatchbacks.
The A3 Concept measures 4.44 metres long, 1.84 wide and 1.39 high with the now classic sloping roof line giving the sedan the must-have coupĂ© look. It will introduce the future VAG platform: the MQB which will go to developing the Volkswagen Group’s future B, C and D segment models.
The concept is equipped with a five-cylinder, turbocharged engine with 408 hp and has all-wheel drive technology and DSG gearbox. While no production plans have been released, the tone of the press release suggests that the company has market plans for the Audi A3 sedan in the future.
It is described as being based on the next generation A3 hatchback and will contribute to the expansion of this model’s line-up. If it looks as good as these drawings suggest, it could just about steal the hearts of those for whom the A4 and A6 have been a little disappointing.
