Audi’s compact range is set to get a shake-up when the next generation arrives in 2019 with the automaker pursuing a more upmarket style for the A3 range to help it fend-off challengers from BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

Britain’s Autocar reports the regular A3 hatch is tipped to lose its ‘Sportback’ moniker, with the new five-door to be simply called the A3. However the Sportback name won’t be retired, with a sexier ‘fastback’  model planned to run alongside the regular A3.

In the same way the A5 Sportback and A7 ranges are adapted from their donor A4 and A6 counterparts, the A3 range will be revised to include a regular five-door hatch, four-door sedan, and a new coupe-styled liftback model that retains five-door functionality with a sportier profile.
