Is the S line plus package a separate trim?

No. It's an appearance and suspension package available on the Premium Plus, not a standalone trim. Some competitor listings present "S line" as a trim name; the 2026 A3 lineup is Premium and Premium Plus only, with packages layered on top.

What sound system comes on the Premium Plus?

The standard system covers the basics well; the notable upgrade is the available Sonos® premium system with 15 speakers and a 16-channel amplifier, worth asking about at the time of order.

Does park assist plus really park the car by itself?

It manages steering, throttle, braking, and gear changes to guide the car into a detected parallel or perpendicular space; the driver still supervises and can take over at any point. It's the kind of feature that's easiest to appreciate on a test drive rather than a spec sheet.

Is the roughly $2,900 step up from Premium worth it?

For highway-heavy commutes or frequent tight parking, most buyers find the adaptive cruise assist and parking hardware earn the difference quickly. If neither describes your driving, the Premium already covers the engine, both screens, and quattro®.

The 2026 Audi A3 Premium Plus in New Rochelle

View Inventory

The 2026 Audi A3 Premium Plus starts at $44,570 all in — the $43,000 manufacturer's suggested retail price plus the $1,395 destination charge and the $175 documentation fee (an optional dealer charge, not a New York State or DMV fee), before state and local taxes, title, and registration. That total includes the $1,395 destination charge and the $175 documentation fee on top of a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $43,000; it excludes state and local taxes, title, registration, and any optional equipment. That's roughly $2,900 over the Premium. What it buys: adaptive cruise assist with lane guidance, a top-view parking camera, and self-steering park assist plus, on top of everything the Premium already has — quattro®, virtual cockpit plus, panoramic sunroof, leather. It's also the only trim that can be built with the new-for-2026 S line plus appearance package. In stock now at Audi New Rochelle on Harrison Street.

What the extra $2,900 actually buys

Premium Plus keeps every standard feature of the Premium and adds three pieces of driver-assistance and parking hardware: adaptive cruise assist with lane guidance, which holds a set following distance in traffic and helps keep the car centered in its lane; a top-view camera, which stitches a bird's-eye view of the car for tight spots; and park assist plus, which can steer the car into a parallel or perpendicular space on its own while managing throttle, braking, and gear changes. None of it is cosmetic — it's the equipment that earns its keep in stop-and-go traffic on the Cross Westchester or squeezing into a spot on a New Rochelle side street.

New for 2026: the S line plus package

Audi added the S line plus package to the A3 lineup for 2026, and it's only offered on the Premium Plus. It brings S-embossed sport front seats, aluminum spectrum inlays, stainless-steel pedal caps, blacked-out exterior trim with anthracite Audi rings and badging, 18-inch 5-Y-double-spoke wheels in black, and a sport suspension that drops ride height 15 mm. A separate Black optic package trades the sport-seat interior treatment for a similar exterior look — 18-inch graphite gray wheels, black trim, lowered suspension — and buyers who want a bigger audio upgrade can add the Sonos® premium sound system, 15 speakers on a 16-channel amplifier.
