Audi A3 is World Car of the Year

One claim to fame of the New York Auto Show is the annual awarding of the World Car of the Year Awards. The awards are a great honor, even more so when you win the overall World Car of the Year title as did the Audi A3.

Timing was perfect for Audi of America. The team responsible for the USA had no less than an A3 e-tron, the newly announced A3 2.0 TDI Sportback, an A3 sedan, A3 Cabriolet and S3 sedan all on center stage… which made a great place to celebrate the award.

In a class that’s full of compromise, we took a different path with the A3. It features uncompromising craftsmanship, and several Audi and industry firsts, like available 4G LTE Wi-Fi® hotspot connection, MMI® touch, and more. With standard leather seating surfaces and a large panoramic sunroof, the A3 sheds light on how a compact luxury vehicle can go big.
