The Audi A3 Sportback might look like a subtle evolution of what's gone before, but in fact our 2013 Car of the Year brings new brilliance to a whole host of areas.
It mixes excellent refinement and an accomplished driving experience with easily the finest cabin quality ever seen in a small family hatchback.
These qualities mean that against some stunning rivals - not least stablemates from Seat (Leon) and Volkswagen (Golf) - the A3 Sportback manages to be the new benchmark and looks pretty keenly priced.
That makes it a worthy Car of the Year.
