The 2017 Audi A3 facelift today finally went on sale in India priced at Rs. 30.5 lakh to Rs. 35.8 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Globally the updated Audi A3 car went on sale last year itself, which even we had driven, but the India-spec model is slightly different in terms of feature offerings and misses out on several nifty things. That said, we drove the car in India as well, and we cannot ignore the fact that the car does look and drive better than the older model. The Audi A3 comes in two different variants - Premium Plus and Technology, both of which come in petrol and diesel trim options. So just to make things easier for you, here's a variant-wise features distribution of the 2017 Audi A3.
