Here it is with pricing. Torque figure for FWD models dropped from 236 to 221 lb-ft. S3 is confirmed to have the same 292hp 280 lb-ft with the 6 speed S-tronic. Rotor Gray seats were also removed from the S3.

I'm liking the virtual cockpit and apple carplay in the tech pkg. Wish we had that in 2016 e-tron.

No "Ultra" version this year? I'll be interested to see if EPA estimates change from 2016.

Disappointing they dropped Dakota Grey for 2017. Test drove one with the brown interior and it was a pretty unique combo.

Do US version of A3 e-tron have traffic jam assist? I don't see it in order guide.

It is disappointing also that they have not done anything about lack of power seats on the higher trim levels. With the Prestige being over $50k in the states it has to be the only $50k car on the market without power seats.

Huh? The Cab is the only one without power seats. Even the Premium trim A3 sedan has driver power seats. The Prestige has power for both front seats.

BobMar46

At $5.4 more than the sedan, there should be more standard and/or available and not less. It never made sense to me that my '15 has power lumbar but not power seats.

At least, though, they did include adaptive cruise and active lane assist on the Prestige trim. Availability of those was missing from the '16s, and while available on the '15s, they hardly shipped any cabs with the option package that included them.

According to the order guide -

"Leather seating surfaces with 6-way power front seats and 4-way power lumbar "

BobMar46

You are right. I missed it when I skimmed the standard features. So the 17 Cab will be first one with power seats and have them on all trim levels.
