That top blue car pic looks like an A4 Avant somehow and not A3 Sportback the back window seems a little different (maybe cause of the car angle in the pic) to the actual current model, see below. The grill on the FL is now hexagonal with sharpened edges with slightly different air intakes and A6/A7 light graphics. Mirrors have silver lower part instead of black.
Seems ok to me the AMS renders.

Audi seems to be slowly distancing itself from its clean designs of the past.

2016 Audi A3 Facelift rendered with new Matrix LED Headlights
The current Audi A3 was shown at 2012's Geneva Motor Show and went on sale a few months after. It was the first vehicle that made use of the MQB modular platform, and it's still better in many ways than its competitors. However, Audi is planning a facelift, which will debut in early 2016.
These renderings created by RM.Design give us an excellent idea of what to expect. The same headlight and taillight design seen on the A6 and A7 facelift models will be introduced. On models equipped with LED headlights, two parallel lines will go down the middle and split off towards the outside corners of the vehicle. It's similar to what Volvo does, but with extra Germanic sharpness.
Small changes will also be made to the front and rear bumpers, while new color choices could be introduced. To the non-Audi-initiated, these upgrades will appear minor, just like they do on the A-Class facelift, which was seen in the metal for the first time yesterday.
Powertrain changes will include efficiency revision and small increases in output. We've learned from Audi insiders that the 1.8-liter TFSI turbo will adopt Cylinder on Demand tech and could be increased from 180 to 190 PS. To learn what that means, read our in-depth report.
Audi has a whole roster of downsized engines that could be used, such as the 1-liter turbo available with up to 115 PS or the 1.4 TDI diesel. However, both look extremely unlikely to be offered because 3-cylinder engines don't have the necessary refinement for a premium car.
Instead of focusing on the A3 facelift, Audi needs to keep its attention on other MQB-based car projects, such as the new Q3 crossover SUV and the TTQ crossover-coupe model.

Audi A3 facelift coming next year with fully digital instrument cluster
Virtual Cockpit availability will be expanded across the range
Audi has announced the A3 will receive a mid-cycle facelift next year and it will come with the Virtual Cockpit.
The 12.3-inch TFT fully digital instrument cluster made its debut in the third generation TT as standard equipment and then it was implemented also as standard on the R8 supercar while in the Q7 and A4 it's an optional extra. Audi’s electronics chief Ricky Huidi told Motoring the technology will be implemented in next year's facelifted A3 range and will cost approximately €400.
He went on to specify the Virtual Cockpit will eventually be offered across almost the entire range, including the next generations of the Q5 and A5. Huidi bragged about how the 12.3-inch screen is ahead of its rivals, mentioning that not even the new BMW 7-Series offers something similar.

Audi AG is a German automotive manufacturer of luxury vehicles
headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. A subsidiary of the
Volkswagen Group, the company’s origins date back to the early 20th
century and the initial enterprises (Horch and the Audiwerke) founded
by engineer August Horch (1868–1951). Two other manufacturers (DKW

The modern Audi era began in the 1960s, when Volkswagen acquired Auto
Union from Daimler-Benz, and merged it with NSU Motorenwerke in 1969.
