Introduced {nearly|almost|practically} six years {ago|in the past} {at the|on the} Geneva Motor Show, {the current|the present}-{generation|era|technology} Audi A3 spearheaded the Modularer Querbaukasten (MQB) platform {currently|at present|at the moment|presently} underpinning {a tremendous|an amazing|an incredible} {amount|quantity} of Volkswagen Group {cars|automobiles|vehicles}. The compact hatchback from Ingolstadt is {getting ready|preparing} for its fourth iteration, which our spies have caught on {camera|digicam|digital camera} {multiple|a number of} {times|instances|occasions} in A3 and S3 guises. Putting {those|these} spy {images|photographs|photos|pictures} to good use, we抳e digitally {removed|eliminated} the camouflage to see into the {somewhat|considerably} predictable future of the Sportback抯 design. 揚redictable?{because|as a result of} {while|whereas} Audi does have {a new|a brand new} design language, it抯 not {exactly|precisely} {a massive|a large|an enormous} departure from the {old|outdated|previous} one. That抯 not {necessarily|essentially} {a bad|a foul|a nasty} {thing|factor} as there are {a lot of people|lots of people} favoring evolution over revolution, {especially|particularly} {those|these} {buying|shopping for} from the Volkswagen Group. Speaking of the Sportback, {it will|it can|it is going to|it should|it would|it'll|it's going to} {likely|doubtless|possible|probably|seemingly} be {the sole|the only|the only real} {body|physique} {style|fashion|model|type} for the premium hatch as rumor has it Audi will {get rid of|do away with|eliminate} the unpractical three-door {version|model} {due to|as a consequence of|as a result of|attributable to|because of|on account of|resulting from} poor demand. It抯 a {move|transfer} {some of|a few of} {the other|the opposite} VW {brands|manufacturers} have already taken with new small {cars|automobiles|vehicles}, so not {a big|a giant|an enormous} {surprise|shock} that the Four Rings will go all in with the Sportback.
{Even though|Although|Despite the fact that|Regardless that|Though} Audi slapped on a generous {amount|quantity} of camo onto their A3 prototypes, they left the headlights {mostly|largely|principally} {exposed|uncovered} to reveal a design {similar to|just like|much like} {the latest|the most recent|the newest} Q3 crossover. Sharper taillights {were|had been|have been} {also|additionally} noticeable on the {test|check|take a look at} {vehicles|automobiles|autos}, {but|however} {overall|general|total}, the A3 Mk IV {will not|is not going to|won't} {represent|characterize|signify|symbolize} {a major|a serious|a significant} {visual|visible} departure {compared to|in comparison with} the outgoing {car|automobile|automotive}. {In terms of|By way of|When it comes to} {size|dimension|measurement}, {it will|it can|it is going to|it should|it would|it'll|it's going to} reportedly be {slightly|barely} longer and wider {while|whereas} {keeping|conserving|holding|maintaining|preserving|protecting|retaining} {the same|the identical} {track|monitor|observe} width and gaining {bigger|greater|larger} wheel arches. While the exterior {will be|can be|might be|shall be|will likely be|will probably be} {more|extra} of {the same|the identical}, a {recent|current|latest} spy shot of the hotter S3 allowed us to catch a glimpse of the {entirely|completely|fully|solely|totally} redesigned {interior|inside}. As {shown|proven} above, the prototype had a neatly {integrated|built-in} touchscreen for the infotainment, so the {tablet|pill} you抣l {find|discover} in today抯 A3 lineup {will be|can be|might be|shall be|will likely be|will probably be} retired. Hooray. It {remains|stays} to be seen {whether|whether or not} the {climate|local weather} {control|management} settings {will be|can be|might be|shall be|will likely be|will probably be} {integrated|built-in} {into a|right into a} secondary touchscreen mounted {lower|decrease} on {the center|the middle} console like on {bigger|greater|larger} Audis. The Q3 {still|nonetheless} has {physical|bodily} buttons and knobs, {but|however} that doesn抰 {necessarily|essentially} {mean|imply} {it will be|it is going to be|it will likely be|will probably be} {the same|the identical} story with the A3.
