The firm with the four rings has given an answer to a type of model that had been maturing practically since the appearance of the third generation of the compact, but that had never finished deciding.
Pro now, it is known as Audi A3 Cityhopper, since this name is the one that appears in your project code, and the one that once again appears in new spy photos. This time, with the body painted of the A3 in gloss black to go a little more unnoticed, although the greater height of the body to the ground prevents it. Like the camouflage that just dresses the arches of the wheel arches, and the side skirts where it is perfectly appreciated more prominent running boards typical of crossovers and SUVs.

The brand with the fourth rings will also offer a more attractive front and rear image, with a more sporty design, adding the traditional ones. satin aluminum protections on the front crankcase and in the central area of the rear exhaust. Special details in the purest style of the «Allroad» or «City Carver», as in the utility vehicle, with whom you will share this special image intended for the models with five-door bodywork, the great impediment of the more familiar Allroad.
This most special image on the outside is also expected to move into the interior with a number of special details, with specific decorative trim, and upholstery and colors, as well as handles at the junction of the transmission tunnel and the center console, in true SUV style, and with aluminum pedals.

Audi will present the new model in the second part of 2022, so it will be sold as a 2023 model.
