The AUDI A3 HATCHBACK (2016-18) 3DR HATCHBACK QUATTRO 2.0 TFSI SS 190 EU6 SPORT STRON AUTO7 is a premium three-door hatchback, bringing Audi’s smart, understated style to the UK’s compact family-car market. Its petrol engine, automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive make it a more powerful, sure-footed alternative to everyday hatchbacks. It suits commuters and couples wanting an enjoyable car for trips around town and longer journeys, while the three-door layout is less convenient for rear-seat access or child-seat loading. Against rivals, the A3 feels more upmarket; quattro traction and performance add distinction, though running costs may be higher.
