As much as any carmaker Audi has embraced the automotive world's push into SUVs. But it hasn't forgotten its sedan and hatch (Sportback) heritage.

Audi has revealed the updated A3 hatchback and sedan, along with a new bodystyle called ‘Allstreet’, reminiscent of the lifted ‘Allroad’ variants of its larger models.
