Audi A3 named 2014 World Car of the Year
In 1996, Audi introduced the first generation of the A3 model series, which established an entirely new market segment- the premium compact class. Now, the third generation of the Audi A3, the premium compact bestseller, has been named the official 2014 car of the year.
It beat 23 competing cars and it’s the second time Audi has been honoured with this award- the Audi A6 took the inaugural overall title in 2005. The award winning car is available as a 3 door, Sportback, Cabriolet and Sedan with a range of TFSI petrol and TDI diesel engines.
The Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG, said: “The Audi A6 was the first ever winner of this award and we are delighted that the Audi A3 has repeated that achievement by being voted 2014 World Car of the Year. The Audi A3 showcases Audi’s technical competence in all aspects of car making, not least in the areas of lightweight technology, drivetrain, mobile infotainment and driver assistance systems”.
