The redesigned A3 hatchback for the European market may not be available in the U.S., but it could attract interest if it were.
Audi has not offered the A3 hatchback in the United States for some time. However, a new version called the A3 Allstreet has been introduced in Europe, which we believe would be a great addition to our market. The Allstreet features additional body cladding and a raised suspension, aligning with the trend seen in vehicles like the Subaru Crosstrek – which is an elevated version of the Subaru Impreza hatchback – but with a touch of sophistication.
The Allstreet boasts a 0.6-inch higher ride height compared to the regular A3. Audi has adjusted the springs and shocks to provide a softer ride for improved comfort. With the larger wheels and tires and suspension lift, the ground clearance increases by 1.2 inches. The slightly rugged look is complemented by roof rails, black plastic body cladding, and color-matched interior accents, while an optional tow hitch is available.
The A3 Allstreet will be available with gasoline and diesel engines in Europe, priced €1800 higher than the standard A3 Sportback upon its release in Germany this month. While Audi currently offers two distinct Allroad station wagons in the U.S. with a comparable design, the A3 Allstreet is unlikely to reach American shores in the near future.
