Beirut, February 8, 2022 – Audi Lebanon introduces the all-new Audi A3 Sedan, S3 Sedan,
and the powerful S3 Sportback into Lebanon.
Since Audi advanced and elevated the premium compact segment with the A3 in 1996, the
line-up of models has continued to expand and improve with the newest generation of the
much-loved A3 family promising to be the best one yet.
Maya Khoury, General Manager at Audi Lebanon commented: “For us, today is a milestone
and an affirmation of our commitment to the Lebanese market.
The last two years have been challenging to say the least.
But at Audi we believe “Future is an Attitude” and we strive to live by those words and apply
them in our day-to-day operations. With that in mind, we believe that the future is brighter
and actively work towards it.
Driven by that positive force, not only were we able to repair and sell the damaged vehicles
after the Beirut blast, but are proudly standing here today to introduce new models, starting
with our best selling A3 & S3. ”
Beneath the progressive design of the Audi A3, S3 and S3 Sportback, lie many innovations
handed down from their larger siblings such as the latest version of the Audi MMI
infotainment system with integrated Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. These features
together with numerous driver assistance systems and upgraded design elements ensure
that the comfort and safety of the driver always come first.
Models are now available at the Audi showroom Dora Highway. Contact us on 961 1 255860
ext 1210 for more information. To configure, find out more and secure your Audi A3 and S3

The A3 Sedan – Sporty, Digitalized, Progressive
Distinctive: design and lighting
The new A3 Sedan features compact proportions and a sporty design. The wide Singleframe
and large air inlets at the front end accentuate their dynamic character. The shoulder of the
body extends in a smooth line from the headlights to the rear lights. The area below is curved
inward. This is a new element of Audi’s design that puts a stronger emphasis on the wheel
arches. The digital daytime running lights of the Matrix LED headlights are a further
innovation and are available as an option. They consist of a pixel array made up of LED
segments in a three by five arrangement that create special light signatures and make the
new A3 immediately recognizable.
Digitalized: controls and displays
The cockpit of the new A3 Sedan is wholly focused on the driver. It uses familiar elements
from the brand’s larger models and is equipped with a 10.1-inch touch display as a standard
feature, which is integrated in the center of the instrument panel. It recognizes letters entered
by hand, provides haptic and acoustic feedback, and can be controlled using natural
language.
The optional Audi virtual cockpit provides additional functions such as the large display of the
navigation map. The optional plus version measures 12.3 inches and enables three different
views, including graphics with a sporty look.
Digital, easy to understand, and intuitive: The new A3 Sedan features a newly developed
control and display concept with a flat menu structure and symbols that are familiar from
smartphones. Audi has replaced the rotary pushbutton on the center tunnel with a large MMI
touch display that provides acoustic and haptic feedback. It has a 10.1-inch diagonal, is
configured as an MMI radio plus as standard, and is used to control the infotainment system
as well as a number of comfort functions. The driver receives acoustic feedback when
selecting a function. The system also allows the driver to enter text in handwriting: It
recognizes individual letters, cursive writing, whole words, and letters written on top of each
other. The MMI search provides a list of suggestions even after just a few characters are
entered.
Intensified: the infotainment
