Transmission Automatic (AM-S7)

The 2025 Audi A3 Quattro, routed through its Automatic (AM-S7) transmission, delivers an EPA-rated 24 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway for a combined 28 mpg. This model year currently sits as a notably stable point in the vehicle's reliability history, backed by zero recalls and only four total owner complaints.
