Here is the first official model to ride on the new MQB platform from the Volkswagen Group. The new A3 is about the same size of the currently available A3. The wheels have been pushed out further in the corners and the car even weighs 176 lbs lighter. The more powerful engines and quattro will be shown at a later date. Transmissions will be either a five-speed manual or the six-speed S-tronic.

The interior was designed from scratch while still using some remaining A3 qualities. Technologies inside will have an adaptive cruise control, new park assist, and a 17-speaker Bang & Olufsen system. The exterior is evolutionary following A3's of the past but with new front / rear lights, and front grill.
