The original A3 (or Type 8L) was appear dorsum in June 1995, but introduced outset in the European marketplace for more than than year in September 1996, marking Audi's render to the production of smaller cars following the demise of the Audi 50 in 1978. This was the first Volkswagen Group model to use the "PQ34" or "A4" platform, begetting a close resemblance to the contemporary Volkswagen Golf game Mk4, which arrived a yr afterward. Within three years, this platform was used for total of seven cars.

The A3 was initially bachelor only with a iii-door hatchback trunk, to present a more sporty paradigm than the Golf, in both front and four-wheel bulldoze. The inline four-cylinder engines were transversely mounted. The Audi A3 was the eighth model in the Audi lineup to employ five valves per cylinder.

The United Kingdom market first received the Audi A3 in November 1996.

In 1999 Audi expanded the range with the introduction of more powerful versions: a i.8 turbo rated 180 PS (132 kW; 178 hp), and a i.ix TDI diesel engine with unit of measurement injector "Pumpe Düse" (PD) technology and variable geometry turbocharger. The four-wheel-drive A3 1.8T quattro used either the 150 PS (110 kW; 148 hp) or 180 PS (132 kW; 178 hp) engine, and the aforementioned Haldex Traction-based iv-wheel-drive arrangement equally the Audi S3 and the Audi TT. Also in 1999, Audi also introduced a five-door body.

In late 2000 the A3 range was revised with new headlights and rear lamps, other minor cosmetic changes, an improved interior, and the introduction of a six-speed manual gearbox, on the 180 PS (132 kW; 178 hp) 1.8 Turbo and the new 130 PS (96 kW; 128 hp) 1.nine TDI.

Audi's electronic stability control, traction-control, and brake forcefulness distribution computer became standard equipment in some countries.

Although the starting time-generation Audi A3 was replaced in Europe in 2003, the first generation model continued to be sold in some markets. Production of the first generation model stopped in Brazil in 2006.

Safety [edit]

Euro NCAP rating of 4 out of 5 stars.^[5] Their evaluation ended "the cavalcade lock, adjuster lever and bracket presented hazards in the knee touch area for the commuter. These could cause loftier loads on his upper legs and harm to his knees." The A3 too provides almost no protection to pedestrians, giving it ii stars out of a possible four.^[5]

S3 (1999–2003) [edit]

Audi S3 (facelift) finished in Imola Yellow

Audi released the A3-derived Audi S3 in 1999, just as a 3-door hatchback. The inline-four 20v 1.8 L turbocharged petrol engine came in 2 versions: 210 PS (154 kW; 207 hp) and 225 PS (165 kW; 222 hp). Early models (1999–2001) had 210 PS (154 kW; 207 hp). Later models (2001–2003) had variable valve timing and 225 PS (165 kW; 222 hp). The engine had a maximum of 280 Northward⋅m (210 ft⋅lbf) torque. This was the start time a small four-cylinder engine had been used in an Audi Southward-serial car.

Although dubbed "quattro", the S3 uses a different 4-wheel bulldoze organization.^[half-dozen] The Haldex Traction coupling adjusts the bias of torque distribution from the forepart to rear axle as grip requirements modify – most of the time it operates equally a forepart-bicycle drive.

The S3 was sold in Europe, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.

The S3 was given a facelift in 2002, where it was given one-slice headlights/indicator units, different front end wings, rear lights clusters, and some minor upgrades to interior trim.

Standard features include xenon HID headlamps with loftier pressure washers and auto levelers, front fog lamps, 17" "Avus" alloy wheels with 225/45R17 tyres, electrically adjustable Recaro leather seats, climate control, warning and electronic stability control with traction control.

Options include a Bose sound system, kicking/torso or in-dash mounted 6-disc CD changer, metallic paint, eighteen-inch nine-spoke RSTT wheels, glass sunroof, eye arm residual, privacy glass (B-colonnade backwards), motorcar-dimming rear-view mirror, parking assist, luggage net, heated front seats, cruise control, aluminium door mirror casings and part leather/Alcantara (blue/silver/yellow) combination seat coverings. These items are standard in some consign markets.

Initial release [edit]

At the 2003 Geneva Motor Prove, Audi launched the second generation of the A3, the Typ 8P, designed by Gary Telaak during 2000 (however, the final design was frozen in 2001). Originally launched merely as a three-door hatchback with four-cylinder engines, it featured a new automobile platform (the PQ35 platform), a redesigned and more than spacious interior, new petrol engines with Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI), and standard half-dozen-speed manual gearboxes (except on the base of operations 1.vi).

In mid-2003 the line was updated with two sports-oriented models, a two.0 Turbo-FSI version rated 200 PS (147 kW; 197 hp), and a three.2 L VR6 engine (for the beginning time) with 250 PS (184 kW; 247 hp). Haldex Traction-based quattro on-need four-cycle drive, and the S-Tronic semi-motorcar gearbox were introduced as options (quattro is standard on the VR6) on models with engines over 140 PS (103 kW; 138 hp).

In 2005 the "Southward line" trim level, offering new decorative elements, became available and the three-door A3 received the aforementioned front-finish styling features as the Sportback model. For the beginning time, the A3 became bachelor in the Northward American market place, exclusively with the Sportback body, with the base of operations ii.0 inline-four FSI introduced in 2005 as a 2006 model, and the 3.2 VR6 Quattro following.

A3 Sportback (2004–2013) [edit]

The five-door "Sportback" model was introduced in June 2004. The A3 Sportback is 80 mm (3.1 in) longer than the base three-door body, and includes improved rear cabin space and a larger luggage compartment (370 litres). Information technology too received the new "single frame" forepart grille originally introduced in the A8 W12, which was later adopted beyond the whole A3 range.

S3 (2006–2013) [edit]

In August 2006, Audi introduced the second generation S3. Offered in three- and 5-door trunk styles, the second generation—Typ 8P—S3 is powered by a modified and uprated Volkswagen Grouping-sourced ii.0-litre turbocharged FSI petrol engine, with a maximum output of 195 kW (265 PS; 261 bhp). As with all Audi South models, the design was done in-business firm past quattro GmbH. The engine features uprated high-performance pistons, revised boost/fuel mapping, increased turbocharger size (KKK K04) and larger intercooler. The most powerful form of this engine, and quattro iv-wheel drive, makes for a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) fourth dimension of 5.5 seconds, and an electronically limited acme speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). Audi offers both 6-speed manual and six-speed S-Tronic automatic transmissions with the S3.

The leap ratings and dampers were revised, along with the body kit. Like its predecessor, although badged a "Quattro" model, the S3 does non employ a Torsen eye differential (as in other mutual Quattro models), but instead uses the Swedish Haldex Traction organisation in its on-demand 4-wheel drive manual, due to the transverse engine layout.

Safety [edit]

Euro NCAP tested a second-generation Audi A3 with front airbags, side airbags, seatbelt pretensioners, and load limiters as standard. Despite Audi increasing the protection inside the car for the commuter and passengers, pedestrian prophylactic really got 33% worse compared to the first generation and Euro NCAP gave criticism for the car offering virtually no protection at all on the front end end and scoring simply i star from a possible four. "A poor result for a new car" was the verdict given for pedestrian safety after the exam.
