The Audi A3 is now available in black – a colour that used Audi dealers have found is a popular choice with forecourt shoppers.

A new limited-run edition A3 range will reach UK shores in February with the order book having already opened and price tags ranging from £22,215 to £27,395.

Fans of the Ibis White, Phantom Black, Misano Red and Monza Silver need not worry – these models will still be available, but Black Edition details, such as a de-chromed front grille, could well give it the edge.

The cabriolet [CAP DOWN?] versions also boast black surrounds for the roll bars and the shoulder line while all three versions of the A3 will have 18-inch S line-design alloy wheels.

Style lovers should note with approval that the hatchback’s privacy glass extends from the B-pillar.

Take a peek inside the Black Edition A3s and you will be greeted by the sight of high-gloss Piano black inlays.

Sports suspension, part leather-upholstered sports seats and electronic climate control are also offered on the S line package.
