"The improvement in value that these special editions now highlight Audi's sporty nature perfectly, while upping the ante with a new level of infotainment, comfort and safety technology features that makes the A3 an even more compelling package."

On the outside, the new S line plus models share the sporty S line exterior package as standard, as well as a selection of dynamic 18-inch alloy wheels, depending on the body style. LED headlights and taillights complete the A3's distinctively Audi presence in the 40 TFSI models.
