Refreshed Audi A3 priced along with fire-breathing RS3

Audi has officially released pricing details of not only the heavily revised A3 Sportback and Sedan, but also the fire-breathing RS3 in the same bodystyle options.

The final pricing announcement for the now five-year-old fourth generation A3, which the four rings will replace with an all-new generation in 2027, is that the entire range will be offered in S line and Black Edition trim grades, but not with the mild-hybrid 1.5 TSI Evo engine, as previously indicated.

Instead, the A3 will soldier on with the venerable 1.4 TSI that produces 110kW/250Nm. The sole transmission option is the equally familiar seven-speed S tronic, with drive going to the front wheels only.
