The focus of a relatively subtle exterior makeover has been to make the car look more dynamic.
There is a revamped, wider hexagonal grille at the front, with the Audi rings now protruding from the top rather than being integrated into the middle.
The front also features new side air intakes and a reshaped spoiler, designed to make the car appear lower.
At the back, there is a new bumper and diffuser unit, which is inspired by that on the legendary RS2 Avant, says Audi.
The daytime running lights now feature four different ‘signatures’ that users can switch between to individualise their car’s appearance.
Each signature has its own distinctive graphic when the car is locked or unlocked. Inside, there has been a focus on adding extra standard kit and digital technology.
All trim levels now feature Audi’s Virtual Cockpit digital instrument display and a three-spoke steering wheel.
The redesigned centre console now includes an armrest as standard and a smaller gear selector for the automatic ’box.
The design of the air vents has also been revamped. In addition, Audi has revised the standard interior lighting, including backlit doors and contour lights in the centre console and cupholders.
