Audi A3 and S3 sedan revealed

With the A4 now considerably larger than it used to be, there's space for a new compact sedan in Audi's lineup. And that's the all-new, upcoming 2015 Audi A3 sedan.

And here it is: Ahead of its truly official world debut at the Shanghai Auto Show on April 19, Audi has just released the first official pictures of the A3 Sedan.

The new A3 Sedan is compact, but not all that small. At nearly 4.5m long, with a 2.63m wheelbase, it's about the size of the original, first-generation A4 of the mid-to-late 1990s.

Engine variants are likely to include 1.8-litre and 2.0-litre versions of the TFSI gasoline turbocharged direct-injected four-cylinders, along with the 2.0-litre TDI (turbo-diesel), and a higher-output version of the 2.0-litre, in a performance-oriented S3.

We'll have plenty more on the 2015 Audi A3, and its feature set, which looks to be one of the best of any compact premium car (including Audi connect, a revised MMI interface, and 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound). But in the meantime, study these first images of the A3 and S3 sedan and let us know what you think: Is the 2015 Audi A3 bound for success?
