Audi A3 allstreet: Crossover Style Meets Compact Soul
When Audi introduced the original A3 in 1996, it redefined the premium compact segment. Nearly three decades later, competition is fiercer than ever, with rivals like the BMW 1 Series, Mercedes A-Class, and even the Peugeot 308 raising the bar. To stay ahead, Audi has expanded its lineup with a bold new variant: the Audi A3 allstreet.
What Is the Audi A3 allstreet?
While the “allstreet” name may sound new, it’s not Audi’s first time using it—it previously appeared on the Audi A1 allstreet (formerly Citycarver). Unlike Audi’s Allroad models built for off-road adventures, the A3 allstreet embraces a more urban crossover identity, making it an ideal companion for modern city life.
Urban-Ready Design with SUV DNA
The A3 allstreet features a more rugged design language that sets it apart from the standard Audi A3 Sportback:
- Contrasting dark grey wheel arches and side skirts
- Roof rails and underbody protection
- 30 mm raised ground clearance for a more SUV-like stance
- Standard 17-inch wheels; 18-inch wheels equipped on our test model
Interior: Familiar with a Touch of Distinction
Inside, the A3 allstreet retains Audi’s signature refinement and premium craftsmanship:
- A redesigned, fully integrated gear selector
- 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster (standard)
- 10.1-inch MMI touchscreen
- Optional head-up display
