Audi will also offer the new engine with the Quattro all-wheel-drive system, but only in Sport and S-line specification.

Another new feature on the A3 is LED headlights. Audi claim the new headlights achieve ‘daylight-like levels of illumination’ and says are the first to be fitted to a car in the premium compact class.

The headlights are available for every A3 and S3 variant and cost owners who spec SE and Sport models £2,000. They come as part of a package, which includes LED rear lights, light and rain sensors and LED ambient interior lighting. In S line and S3 models the LED headlights are available as a stand-alone option that costs £795.

Order books for the Audi A3 are now open with prices starting from £24,375 and rising to £30,055. First deliveries are expected in September.
