Does a compact minivan with Audi badges make sense? Well, judging from what rivals from BMW and Mercedes-Benz are doing, the answer is yes.

BMW has the 2-Series Active Tourer and 2-Series Gran Tourer, while Mercedes has the B-Class.

It appears that time has come for an Audi minivan as well, and a recent report confirmed that the company is considering such a model based on the next-generation A3. However, Audi’s minivan will be built specifically for the Chinese market, which means Europe and North America may not get it.

If you were wondering how an Audi A3-based MPV could look like, Photoshop expert Theophilus Chin has the answer. Using the shape of the VW Touran and design elements from the new Audi A4, he envisioned Audi’s upcoming compact minivan. What’s your take on it?
