Audi has announced today that it will premiere the Audi A3 sedan concept at this year's Geneva motor show. The Audi A3 sedan will be a notchback, as the company calls it and is based on the successor to the Audi A3. This means that the Audi A3 sedan concept will offer a preview of the next generation of the company's popular model.
The Audi A3 sedan concept measures 4.44 meters (14.57 feet) in length, 1.84 meters (6.04 feet) in width and 1.39 meters (4.56 feet) in height. This means the Audi A3 sedan concept is longer, wider and lower than the current A3 model line-up.
The Audi A3 sedan concept is powered by a
5-cylinder turbo engine developing 300 kW (408 hp), which are sent to all four wheels via the quattro drive system. The engine of the Audi A3 sedan is coupled with the seven-speed S tronic gearbox.
In terms of design, the Audi A3 sedan features a single-frame grille with tapered upper corners, LED daytime running lights, obviously, and low, flowing roof dome with a coupe style C-pillar.
The Audi A3 sedan will most probably spawn a production version in the near future.

The sporty yet elegant design of the Audi A3 concept integrates the single-frame grille with its tapered upper corners and headlights with the latest generation of LED technology. The low, flowing roof dome and a coupe-like, low C pillar are among the defining features of the side view.
The Audi A3 concept is 4.44 meters (14.57 feet) long, 1.84 meters (6.04 feet) wide and just 1.39 meters (4.56 feet) high.

It distributes its power to all four wheels through a seven-speed S tronic transmission and permanent all-wheel drive.
