The entry-level Audi, sold in Canada as a sedan, a cabriolet and a five-door hatchback, is undergoing significant changes for 2017. The headlights are new and the Technik trim is equipped with the Audi virtual cockpit, a large digital screen located in front of the driver. The base version gets a new 2.0L engine. The e-tron plug-in hybrid version is back, as is the spectacular S3 and its 292-horsepower engine. In addition, the fabulous 394-horsepower RS 3 should arrive in Canada next year.
