A production milestone has been reached at the Audi plant in Ingolstadt: 20 years ago, on September 18, 1995, the first A3 came off the assembly line here.
When it made its debut, the A3 was already setting new standards in the compact class with its sporty character, high-quality workmanship and optional quattro all-wheel drive system. Since then, Audi has built over 3.5 million units of the successful model worldwide.

"20 years of the Audi A3 - that is 20 years of success in the compact class. Back then, we founded a new segment with the A3. Today, the high-volume A3 family is a fixed component of our model lineup," said Prof. Dr. Hubert Waltl, Audi Board Member for Production. "Two decades of the Audi A3 - and behind it a highly qualified production team. Without them, such a success story would not have been conceivable."
