A3 is the subcompact sedan of Audi that competes with the BMW 2-Series and Mercedes-Benz A-Class, and CLA-Class. For the 2022 model year, Audi has redesigned its A3 model, and now it comes with a new design, more powerful powertrain, a slightly larger footprint, more interior technology, and additional safety features. Its exterior has got razor-sharp looks, and the interior has become more modernized. Overall it's a good-looking little sedan with plenty of safety and interior technology features. Its modern look doesn't change its fun-to-drive nature, and that's just because of its peppy engines. Audi offers A3 in three trim levels: Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige. Prestige is the top tier trim level of the Audi A3. A3 Prestige comes standard with front-wheel drive, but that doesn't mean that you can't choose the all-wheel-drive available as an option with all the trims of A3. A3 Prestige FWD is powered by a 2.0-liter turbo Inline 4-cylinder engine paired to Seven-speed S Tronic dual-clutch automatic. It produces 201 HP horsepower and 221 lb-ft torque. The engine provides peppy acceleration that pushes the A3 Prestige FWD from 0-60 mph in 6.6 seconds. Its top speed is capped at 130 mph. It gives a fuel mileage of 29 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway. This trim carries many high level features as standard safety features including 12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit, a high-end Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system with 15 speakers, a head-up display, navigation plus real-time traffic information and matrix-design LED headlights. More detailed specs and features of this trim are listed below.
