The third generation A3 was launched in three-door hatchback form at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show and went on sale in Europe in September 2012.

Based on the Volkswagen Group MQB platform, the third generation will later become available as a five-door "Sportback" and convertible. For the interim, the convertible and five-door bodystyles will continue on the previous Typ 8P chassis until 2013. It is at this time when for the first time, an A3 four-door sedan version will be offered—thus effectively filling in the gap left by the A4 which has become larger with each generation.

Front suspension is by MacPherson strut and there is multi-link rear suspension.[23]

At launch, there were two petrol engine options (a 1.4 TFSI with 120 bhp and a 1.8 TSI with 178 bhp) and a 2.0 TDI diesel with 150 bhp. A 1.6 TDI engine with CO2 emissions of 99g/km and a 1.2 TFSI petrol engine are also expected later in 2012.[23]

New features included in the new A3 include a new entertainment system with handwriting recognition and adaptive cruise control.
It is to be powered by 2.0-litre TFSI petrol engine, with an output of 221 kW (300 PS; 296 bhp). It features new pistons with stronger bolts and new rings, as well as reinforced connecting rods with new mounts transfering the power to the crankshaft. The cylinder head is made of a new lightweight aluminium alloy designed with high strength and temperature resistance in mind.

The engine is capable of delivering 380 Nm from 1,800 rpm to 5,500 rpm, with its limit being at 6,800 rpm. The 4 cylinder engine has a combine fuel economy of 40.4 mpg manual (40.9 mpg S Tronic).

The engine weighs in at 148 kilograms (330 lb), 5 kilograms (11 lb) lighter than the previous generation. The S3 is capable of 0-100km/h (0-62 mph) in 5.4 seconds when equipped with a manual transmission (5.1 when using the S tronic) and has an electronically limited top speed of 155 miles per hour (249 km/h).
