Our North American and Chinese friends don't like the hatchback versions, so Audi is preparing a sedan version of the A3 to help boost sales in those countries. Quattroworld spies have captured the new version in one of Audi’s Southern Europe test sites.
The car seems to be almost ready to enter production, so we might expect a presentation in the first half of 2013. In these pictures we can say it must be a S-Line version, with the larger wheels and the dual exhaust pipes. It will surely use the same engines that are used in the hatchback versions.
It does look like the concept shown last year, as you can also see below, and that is a good thing because it looked really nice.
