Following an outpouring of enthusiasts' support, Audi has decided to bring back the A3 Sportback in the United States in the summer of 2015.
Set to debut at the New York Auto Show, the A3 Sportback will be available exclusively with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder TDI Clean Diesel engine which develops 150 hp and 320 Nm of torque. It is mated to a standard 6-speed S tronic transmission provides the driver immense shifting flexibility and driving pleasure with smooth, dynamic acceleration and virtually no interruption to the power flow.
"The A3 TDI Sportback has an incredibly passionate and loyal fan base, this new version has been one of our most requested models since the announcement of the new A3 family," said Scott Keogh, President, Audi of America. "This new A3 TDI Sportback combines excellent fuel economy with advanced technology and utility and will make a stunning addition to the already impressive A3 family."
The German carmaker will also introduce the A3 sedan with the same engine in the United States later this year.
