Noteworthy exterior changes on the 2016 Audi A3 Sportback will be a new singleframe grille, headlights and tail lights. For the interior, the major update will be the availability of the Audi virtual cockpit fully-digital instrument cluster that was first introduced in the third-gen Audi TT and most recently added in the fifth-gen Audi A4. The new 3-spoke steering wheel should also be carried over from the all-new A4, and MMI infotainment system should also be updated with new features.
