The AUDI A3 SPORTBACK (2024-) 35 5DR SPORTBACK 1.5 TFSI 150 GPF SS EU6 SPORT 6SPD is a premium five-door hatchback, sitting above mainstream family cars in the UK market while remaining more compact and practical than an SUV. Its Sport trim and petrol engine make it an appealing all-rounder for everyday driving. With seating for five and a boot, the A3 Sportback suits commuters, couples and small families who want easy city manoeuvring, comfortable longer trips and a more polished cabin than many hatchbacks. The 150PS 1.5-litre petrol engine offers lively, flexible performance, while the six-speed manual gives drivers control; efficiency will depend on use and driving style.

Against the BMW 1 Series and Mercedes A-Class, the A3 is a polished, practical all-rounder.
