Best Audi Vehicles for Grads

Take on the world in the Audi A3 Sedan or Q3

Whether your grad just finished high school or college, a new Audi model can help them tackle the road ahead. A new vehicle offers a great way to explore the world, cultivate responsibility, commute to work, and more.

Here's what we recommend for your new grads:

2018 Audi A3 Sedan

The 2018 A3 Sedan (pictured above and below) is perfect for young drivers due to its compact size, safety features, suite of technologies, and sleek, luxurious vibe. Your graduate will enjoy a driving experience like no other as four different driving modes—comfort, auto, dynamic, and individual—offer optimal control over steering, gear shift points, responsiveness, and more. And because a six-speed S tronic® dual-clutch transmission and quattro® all-wheel drive are also available, the Audi A3 is an excellent choice for those who value both power and smooth performance.

The 2018 A3 houses a 2.0-liter turbocharged TFSI® engine capable of producing up to 186 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque. It packs a lot of power into a compact sedan-sized package and can take your grad anywhere in speed and style. Inside the 2018 A3, you'll find a host of available tech features, like the standard full-color head-up display, the MMI® touch with handwriting recognition technology, Apple CarPlay™, Android Auto™, and available Audi Virtual Cockpit with Google Earth™. Other features include an available Bang & Olufsen® sound system with 3D sound, collision avoidance assist, twelve-way power front sports seats, and more. 

The 2018 A3 makes it easy for grads to have a celebratory adventure with its innovative technology, powerful performance, and luxurious presence.

2018 Audi Q3

If your grad would prefer the look and handling of a compact crossover, be sure to view the 2018 Audi Q3 (pictured below). Stylish, powerful, and with engineering you can feel, the Q3 is a great choice for grads who like to do it all. Coming standard with a 2.0-liter TFSI® direct-injection DOHC engine, the powerful Q3 is capable of producing 200 horsepower. The quattro® all-wheel-drive with ultra® technology system is able to switch from front-wheel drive to all-wheel drive without missing a beat, giving your vehicle the power where it needs it, when it needs it.

Apart from providing excellent performance and handling, the 2018 Audi Q3 continues its reputation as one of the most versatile and appealing vehicles around. Key features include available Audi Virtual Cockpit with Google Earth™ and Google Street View™ options, rear 40/20/40 seats, Audi pre sense® basic, and an MMI® interface with all-in-touch handwriting recognition that provides instant control over your smartphone’s features, including navigation, music, and phone calls.

The driver assistance features on the 2018 Audi Q3 will keep your grads (and their passengers) safe, connected, and entertained, no matter where the road may lead.
