Audi will launch next month at the
Shanghai Motor Show the new A3 Sedan, the official rival of Mercedes CLA. The
German model will be produced, for the first time, at a factory in China.
After Mercedes surprised the public
at the Geneva Motor Show with the live debut of the new CLA, Audi makes the
final preparations for a rival. It is the sedan version of the current A3,
scheduled to enter the market at the end of this year.
The first contact with the tree
volumes model of the German auto manufacturer will take place next month, more
specifically on April 20, at the Shanghai Motor Show. Developed on the same MQB
platform, the new A3 Sedan will take some of the design lines from the concept
with the same name, presented in 2011, also at the Geneva Motor Show.
The absolute innovation consists in
the Ingolstadt officials decision to produce it in three volumes at a factory
in China, which they own with their local partner FAW. This decision reaffirms
Audi’s intentions to focus on the Chinese market, where the premium segment
experienced a positive evolution.
With a length of 4.4 meters, a with
of 1.84 meters and a height of 1.39 meters, the Audi A3 Sedan will borrow the
engines from the current hatchback, the 1.2 and 1.8 TSIs and the 2.0 TDI with
184 and 150 horsepower
