It is the second overall title for Audi in the history of the World Car of the Year Awards, as the Audi A6 won the inaugural overall title in 2005.

 

The A3 beat 23 other cars to claim the prestigious award, and was voted as the winner by an international jury panel comprising 69 top‑level automotive journalists from 22 countries around the world.

 

Rupert Stadler, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG, said: “The Audi A6 was the first ever winner of this award and we are delighted that the Audi A3 has repeated that achievement by being voted 2014 World Car of the Year.

 

“The Audi A3 showcases Audi’s technical competence in all aspects of car making, not least in the areas of lightweight technology, drivetrain, mobile infotainment and driver assistance systems. This major award win is an achievement that the whole company can celebrate.”
