2024 Audi A3 Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Audi A3 is available in two trim levels: Premium and Premium Plus. All A3s are powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (201 horsepower, 221 lb-ft of torque) that's paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is an option. Keep reading for our rundown of the A3's most significant standard features and options.

Premium
The base A3 trim comes fairly well equipped, with standard features that include:

  • Full LED headlights with daytime running lights
  • 17-inch wheels
  • Keyless ignition
  • Leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable and heated front seats
  • Three-zone automatic climate control
  • Digital instrument cluster
  • 10.1-inch touchscreen display
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (includes wireless connectivity)
  • Panoramic sunroof

The A3 also comes standard with:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Automatic high beams

The Premium trim is available with the Convenience package that adds:

  • Keyless entry
  • Wireless charging pad
  • Auto-dimming mirrors (with power-folding side mirrors)
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
  • Satellite radio
  • Universal garage door opener

Premium Plus
The Premium Plus trim includes all of the base A3's features. Other standard equipment includes:

  • Agate gray wood inlay and LED interior lighting
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the A3 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Convenience package features

Optional on the Premium Plus is the Technology package with:

  • Integrated navigation system with traffic sign recognition
  • Larger digital instrument cluster
  • Premium Bang & Olufsen audio system

Optional for all A3 models is the Black Optic Sport package that comes with blacked-out exterior trim, a sport suspension that lowers the car by 0.6 inch, and 18-inch wheels.

Which A3 trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend stepping up to the Premium Plus trim since it's not a big jump in price and nets you additional driver assist features. It also is eligible for the optional Technology package that adds navigation, premium audio and several other enhancements.
