China’s A3 is available only with one engine; a petrol 1.4-litre 150hp TFSI with seven-speed twin clutch automatic transmission. An additional 180hp 1.8 TFSI engine will be launched later this year.
The Sportback will soon be joined by the also locally made A3 sedan which will be called Limousine in China though, unlike the larger A6L and A4L, it won’t be any longer than the European version, the report said.
