The Audi A3 is currently in its third generation of production, though it has actually been around since the mid 1990s. Since then, its design has changed quite a bit to evolve into the compact executive sedan it is today. Specifically, its third generation of production began in 2012 with some notable changes. For example, at the beginning of this generation's production, an Audi A3 wagon hatchback was available (though this is no longer the case). Today, it is available as both an Audi A3 sedan and Audi A3 cabriolet/convertible.

There have been some significant changes from one model year to the next in this generation as well. While there weren't any major changes between the 2013 and 2014 model years, 2015 saw a total redesign of the Audi A3. For this model year, the hatchback/wagon design was replaced with the four-door sedan option. This was also the first year for the two-door convertible body styling.
