All-new Audi A3 Sedan S Line

On the outside, the A3 sports “S Line kit”, LED headlamps, and 17-inch alloy wheels. A large “Singleframe” with honeycomb grille dominates the front end of the all-new A3. Behind the Singleframe are controllable cooling-air inlets with two electrically actuated louvre modules. They regulate the airflow in accordance with the driving situation. At the back of the all-new A3 is a rear diffuser that further reduces the drag coefficient.
