Sportback, sedan and now also allstreet. The range of the new Audi A3 was recently completed with the arrival of the crossover version, an urban SUV version that enriches the offering of the German compact car. And so, given the urban vocation of this model, the Italian division of the Four Rings house has chosen Milan for the debut in Italy of the new Audi A3 allstreet, protagonist of a premiere dedicated to Milanese experiences in the setting of the Alcione Theatre.
From Milan to the world
Everywhere is here, interpreting Milan as the center of the world but above all a point of departure and arrival. A journey that the Audi A3 allstreet will also undertake to conquer the European and especially the Italian market thanks to its vocation. To frame the debut of the German crossover, the stories and voices of some illustrious Milanese who, starting from the province, conquered the city of Milan thanks to their different careers. From Francesco Mandelli, actor, comedian and director, through Matteo Panetti who, thanks to his twenty years of international experience in the kitchen, returned home to open Yapa, up to Clara, a young singer who has already amazed at the last edition of the Sanremo Festival .
Audi A3 allstreet and the crossover vocation
The absolute protagonist, however, remains the new Audi A3 allstreet which becomes perfectly complementary in the range of the compact Four Rings thanks to a series of elements that characterize it compared to the other variants. In fact, it is to all intents and purposes a crossover, as evidenced by the 30 mm more than the traditional version, the result of larger tires and a new suspension set-up. Or the different stylistic elements, from the roof bars to the side skirts and moldings, up to the bodywork reinforcements that accentuate the urban SUV soul. In this sense, the load capacity is optimal with 380 liters for the boot which becomes 1,200 liters if the rear seats are folded down. The rims are 17″ as standard, with 18 and 19″ options also available.
