Last month, foreign media captured a test car spy photo of the new Audi A3 derivative model, with camouflage decoration on the bottom of the body and the use of a new elevated shape, which indicates that Audi will soon launch this A3 "Allroad" model. A new batch of spy photos captured another advanced A3 test. This one was caught while playing in the snow, although it didn't look any different from the other test car, all the way up to the camouflage cover.
The new spy photo captured a brand new black Audi A3 appearing in the snow for testing, but it could not hide the car's higher driving altitude. The A3 may get a round of protective plastic cladding at the wheel arches to protect the car from damage on unpaved roads. In the photo, you can see more extended designs around the front bumper, and the side skirt of the five-door car looks stronger, but the rear side does not look much surprised by the new Audi A3.
There is very little official information about the car at the moment, and we don't even know if Audi will produce an Audi A3 Allroad version. But in 2019, Audi unveiled the A1 Citycarver, a model with a higher suspension and more scratch-resistant panels. And Audi offers the A1 a 35 mm (2.0 in) suspension lift design, larger tires and some scuff plates, which are not out of the question.
So the A3 Allroad version could arrive sometime in 2022, most likely in the second half of next year. However, this is just speculation. We just have to wait for the official Announcement of Audi, but when it debuts, it will help fill the huge gap in the Audi lineup that sits between the A3 and Q3.
