The 2026 Audi A3 in New Rochelle
Audi builds the 2026 A3 compact luxury sedan in two trims. Total price, including every dealer-imposed charge: Premium $41,670 and Premium Plus $44,570. Those totals include the $1,395 destination charge and the $175 documentation fee (an optional dealer charge, not a New York State or DMV fee) on top of manufacturer's suggested retail prices of $40,100 and $43,000; they exclude state and local taxes, title, registration, and any optional equipment. One powertrain covers the whole lineup, a 201-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four making 236 lb-ft, routed through the 7-speed S tronic® and standard quattro® all-wheel drive — there's no front-drive version this year. Zero to 60 mph takes 6.0 seconds, and the EPA rates it at 24 city / 34 highway mpg. New for 2026: the 12.3-inch virtual cockpit plus display is now standard equipment, and an S line plus appearance package joins the options sheet. Both trims are in stock now at Audi New Rochelle, 2 Harrison St, minutes off I-95.
A compact sedan that makes sense off I-95
New Rochelle sits where the New England Thruway meets the Hutchinson River Parkway, a junction most Westchester drivers pass through more mornings than not. It's also a Metro-North stop on the New Haven Line, which means a fair number of the people shopping at Audi New Rochelle are weighing a car against a train pass, not the other way around. The 2026 A3 is built for exactly that kind of buyer: it's the smallest sedan Audi sells in the U.S., but it carries the same virtual cockpit, quattro® grip, and design language as the larger A6 and A8, just in a size that's easier to park on a Main Street block or slide into a commuter-lot spot.
At Audi New Rochelle, on Harrison Street just off I-95, the A3 draws first-time Audi buyers from across Westchester, the Bronx, and lower Fairfield County. What follows is the full 2026 lineup, what each trim actually includes, and what A3 owners have said about buying and servicing theirs here.
What every 2026 Audi A3 comes with
Audi keeps the A3 lineup tight: one engine, two trims, a short options list. These are standard on both:
- Powertrain: a turbocharged 2.0-liter four rated at 201 hp and 236 lb-ft, paired with the 7-speed S tronic® dual-clutch automatic and standard quattro® — every 2026 A3 sold in the U.S. is all-wheel drive
- Performance: 6.0 seconds to 60 mph, with drive select modes (Comfort, Auto, Dynamic, Individual) to change how the car responds
- Efficiency: EPA-rated 24 city, 34 highway, 28 combined mpg on premium fuel
- Displays: the 12.3-inch virtual cockpit plus digital instrument cluster, newly standard for 2026, alongside the 10.1-inch MMI® touchscreen
- Connectivity: wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, plus Audi connect® CARE services
- Comfort: panoramic sunroof, leather seating surfaces, automatic climate control
- Lighting: full LED headlights with Audi's signature running-light graphic, LED taillights with dynamic turn signals
- Safety: Audi pre sense® front, lane departure warning, side assist with rear cross traffic assist

Audi's published figure for the 2026 A3
2026 Audi A3 Premium: $41,670 all in
Premium is the entry point, and it isn't a stripped one. It starts at $41,670 all in — the $40,100 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 $40,100; it excludes state and local taxes, title, registration, and any optional equipment. Quattro®, the panoramic sunroof, leather seating, both digital displays, and wireless smartphone integration all come standard, riding on 17-inch alloy wheels.
For a commute that runs down I-95 into the Bronx or over to the Cross Westchester Expressway, it's the full Audi ownership experience at the lowest entry price into a new Audi sedan. The full breakdown is in the 2026 Audi A3 Premium guide, or browse current A3 inventory in New Rochelle.
2026 Audi A3 Premium Plus: $44,570 all in
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, 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. It keeps everything above and adds the driver-assistance hardware that matters most on the Hutch or waiting out the merge at the Thruway split: adaptive cruise assist with lane guidance, which holds a set following distance and helps keep the car centered in its lane.
It also adds a top-view camera and park assist plus, which can steer the car into a parallel or perpendicular spot while it manages throttle, brake, and gear changes on its own. For a downtown New Rochelle curb or a tight garage level, that alone can justify the roughly $2,900 step up. The Premium Plus guide covers it feature by feature.
New for 2026, the S line plus package brings S-embossed sport seats, aluminum spectrum inlays, stainless-steel pedal caps, blacked-out exterior trim with anthracite rings, black-finish 18-inch wheels, and a suspension lowered 15 mm. A separate Black optic package offers similar darkened styling with graphite gray wheels, and an available Sonos® premium sound system (15 speakers, 16-channel amp) is the audio upgrade worth asking about.
Thinking about more power? Meet the S3 and RS 3
The A3 shares its body with two performance siblings sold alongside it: the 2026 Audi S3, which turns the same 2.0-liter turbo up to 328 horsepower, and the track-bred 2026 Audi RS 3 with a 401-horsepower 2.5-liter five-cylinder. Test-drive the A3 first; if it leaves you wanting more, both are part of the same conversation at our showroom.
