Audi A3 facelift has been launched in India at Rs. 30.5 lakh, making it the company's fourth launch in the country this year after the new A4 diesel, A3 Cabriolet, and Q3 facelift petrol. Audi India's most affordable model, the A3 sedan first arrived here in 2014 followed by the convertible. Curiously, the company decided to bring in the A3 Cabriolet's facelift first - in February 2017, to be precise. Back to the 2017 A3 sedan - as noted in our Audi A3 facelift review, the car borrows design elements from the new A4 sedan, thus making it look far more aggressive and athletic.
With comprehensive updates and two engine options including a new 1.4-litre TFSI petrol on offer, the Audi A3 facelift's price ranges between Rs. 30.5 lakh and Rs. 35.8 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). For more information about the car, read our list of ten things you must know about the A3 facelift.
