New Audi A3 Sportback 2027 facelift first look review at the Zurich Motor Show 2026: Audi's upgrade of the current fourth-generation A3, on the same platform but with new headlights with four selectable light signatures, new tail lights, white Audi rings, a new dashboard with curved screens and a plug-in hybrid with a bigger battery. I owned an A3 from 2013 and it is still one of my favourite cars, so I compare what changed: the exterior, the boot, the rear seats, the softer seats, the new multimedia system, the magnetic Qi2 phone charger and the engine. The car on the stand is the entry-level 1.5 TFSI with 116 HP and the S tronic gearbox. Is the facelift enough, or should Audi have built a new generation? Tell me in the comments!
