The A3 isn't as well finished inside or as polished overall as the previous model, but it's still comfortable, enjoyable to drive, and is spacious enough inside for most. We recommend the 40 TFSIe for its electric range, low company car tax and performance. It’s one of the best plug-ins out there and a fine car in its own right.

Only available with the 45 TFSIe, the main thing you’re paying for here is a bump in power over the 40 TFSIe. Other than that, it’s all visual with flashier 18in alloy wheels, red brake calipers and black detailing.

This engine is no longer available.
