AUDI A3 (2008-13) 5DR SPORTBACK 2.0 TDI 140 SE DSG AUTO

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks

The AUDI A3 (2008-13) 5DR SPORTBACK 2.0 TDI 140 SE DSG AUTO is a five-door family hatchback, offering more space and practicality than the A3 three-door while remaining easier to park than larger cars. It sits among used alternatives such as the Volkswagen Golf, BMW 1 Series and Ford Focus.

With a 2.0-litre diesel engine and DSG automatic gearbox, it suits commuting, motorway journeys and family duties. The Sportback cabin and boot make it a versatile everyday choice, while SE trim aims for comfort rather than a sporty edge. Diesel economy and refinement help it stand out from petrol-powered hatchbacks.
