The model

Read full review

The Audi A3 Saloon impresses with its agility in corners, comfortable ride and respectable fuel efficiency. A mid-life facelift has given it a sharper, more luxurious interior, but if you prioritise spaciousness and cruising performance, an Audi A4 or BMW 3 Series might warrant the extra investment. If you do buy an A3 Saloon, we recommend the 35 TFSI petrol engine with Sport trim.

The trim

See full equipment

Black Edition introduces a black exterior styling package, 18in wheels and door-mounted LEDs that project the Audi logo on to the ground when exiting the vehicle.

The engine

See full engine specs

The 148bhp 1.5-litre 35 TFSI is punchy with 0-62mph taking an official 8.1 seconds.
