At the 2013 Auto Shanghai, Audi has something we're very interested in. We're talking about the all new Audi A3 Sedan, which happens to be the booted version of the A3 supermini.
The Audi A3 Sedan is important from the Indian perspective as it is most certainly destined for India. The A3 Sedan will be the affordable luxury car from Team Ingolstadt to ward off the competition from the Merc A/B/CLA Class and the BMW 1 Series, not to mention the Volvo V40 Cross Country.
