With the launch of the 2024 Audi A3 Facelift, it’s inevitable to wonder what innovations and improvements it brings compared to its 2020 predecessor. This revised version promises to deliver an improved driving experience, both in terms of performance and technology and design.

One of the most anticipated aspects is the aesthetic update, which can bring subtle or more visible changes to the exterior and interior design of the car.

Let’s see how we distinguish the two models and what are the changes brought to the new Audi A3 2024 model.

Exterior design

The 2020 Audi A3 stood out by introducing a new design language inspired by Lamborghini. With sharp and bold shapes, the exterior features a wider Singleframe grille and Matrix LED headlights. The taillights also benefit from LED technology, and the signaling is dynamic.

The new A3, on the other hand, received new LED headlights with customizable light signatures, a new front grille with a flatter design and large angular air intakes, which offer an aggressive and dynamic look compared to the previous model from 2020. Comparing the rear, the new A3 benefits from new taillights but also a new diffuser and a spoiler inspired by the RS models.

Interior design

The 2020 model of the A3 came with a sporty look, with decorative aluminum or carbon inserts. The dash came standard with a 10.1-inch touchscreen integrated into the center of the instrument panel, which is also digital.

Compared to the 2020 model, the New Audi A3 2024 comes with several novelties, such as the addition of more chrome elements, but also more ambient lights. All A3 models come with a 10.1-inch touchscreen and Audi’s Virtual Cockpit instruments.

Engines

Under the hood of the 2020 A3, the engines include 1.0-liter and 1.5-liter gasoline options, 2.0-liter diesel options, but also mild-hybrid and TFSI-e options.

For the 2024 Audi A3, Audi has installed two engine options: a 35 TFSI gasoline engine and a 35 TDI diesel engine, and additional options, including a TFSI e hybrid model, will be added later.
