Award-Winning Design and Interior
Audi’s dedication to excellence is evident in the A3, recognized as the Best Family Car at the 2021 carwow Car of the Year Awards, and its cabin is a sophisticated blend of sport and high-tech, inspired by the luxurious Lamborghini Urus, featuring a standard 10-inch touchscreen with full smartphone mirroring and exceptional functionality for both passengers and cargo.
