The 2018 Audi A3 Premium Sedan 4D serves as the entry-level gateway into Audi's luxury lineup, combining a compact physical footprint with sharp German styling, energetic turbocharged power, and upscale standard equipment.
Powertrain and Performance
The A3 Premium is uniquely split into two distinct mechanical configurations based on the drivetrain you choose:
Front-Wheel Drive (FWD): Equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 186 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic (S-tronic) transmission.
Quattro All-Wheel Drive (AWD): Features an upgraded version of the 2.0-liter turbo engine pumping out 220 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Paradoxically, it utilizes a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. This model is notably quicker and more engaging to drive.
Key Specifications & Dimensions
Fuel Economy: The FWD model achieves an efficient 26 city / 35 highway / 29 combined MPG. The heavier, more powerful Quattro variant drops slightly to 24 city / 31 highway / 27 combined MPG.
Exterior Size: It measures 175.5 inches in length and sits on a 103.8-inch wheelbase, making it exceptionally easy to park and navigate through dense city traffic.
Interior & Cargo Space: Passenger volume accommodates up to 5 occupants, offering 35.1 inches of rear legroom. Trunk capacity is highly dependent on the drivetrain; the FWD version offers 12.3 cubic feet, while the Quattros rear differential shrinks cargo room down to 10.0 cubic feet.
Standard Premium Features
Despite being the base trim level, Audi didn't skimp on core luxury amenities. Standard features out of the box include:
Leather upholstery and 12-way power-adjustable driver's seat
Three-stage heated front seats (made standard for all 2018 models)
Panoramic sunroof with independent sunshade
Dual-zone automatic climate control
Audi Pre Sense Basic (automatically tightens seat belts and closes windows if a collision is imminent)
Dual USB ports, Bluetooth, and a rearview camera .
