Audi’s latest offering for Europe, the A3 Allstreet, is a hatchback model that takes inspiration from the Allroad wagon lineup. Featuring a higher ride height and black plastic cladding, the Allstreet adds a touch of ruggedness to the A3 lineup. While the A3 Allstreet is not expected to make its way to the U.S. market, its design and features would appeal to American consumers who enjoy vehicles like the Subaru Crosstrek.
Upgrade in Design and Performance
The A3 Allstreet comes with a 0.6-inch higher ride height compared to the standard A3, offering improved ground clearance for better off-road capability. Audi has also fine-tuned the springs and shocks to provide a smoother ride quality, making the Allstreet comfortable for city driving as well. With roof rails, black plastic cladding, and color-matched interior accents, the Allstreet exudes a subtle ruggedness that sets it apart from the standard A3 Sportback model. Additionally, optional tow hitch further enhances the versatility of this hatchback.
Engine Options and Pricing
In the European market, the A3 Allstreet will be available with both gasoline and diesel engine options. The Allstreet is priced €1800 higher than the standard A3 Sportback in Germany, catering to customers who are willing to pay a premium for the additional features and design elements offered by this model. While Audi already offers Allroad station wagons in the U.S., the A3 Allstreet is not currently planned for the American market.
