The Audi A3 is a small family car in the C-segment that the German maker Audi has built since September 1996. The first two generations used the Volkswagen Group A platform and the third and fourth use the MQB platform. The first generation, type 8L, was announced in June 1995 and reached the European market in September 1996, which marked the return of Audi to small cars after 19 years, following the end of the Audi 50 in 1978. It began as a three-door hatchback, gained a five-door body in 1999, and was offered with transverse four-cylinder engines in front-wheel drive and quattro four-wheel drive. The sporting S3 version followed in 1999.
