Audi today unveiled its competitor for the BMW 1 Series and the brand-new Mercedes-Benz CLA. The new 2015 Audi A3 and S3 Sedans will join the hatchback variants to take on the compact entry-level luxury market in the United States starting the first quarter of 2014.

The 2015 Audi A3 is powered by a 170 horsepower 1.8 TFSI or a 150 horsepower 2.0 TDI clean diesel. The 2015 Audi A3 quattro and the S3 quattro will be powered by a 2.0 liter TFSI – no technical specs have been released as of yet.

We like the looks of the new A3 and S3 sedans but feel the underpowered engines might be a slight issue.
