Audi A3 Mk4 (2020-present) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Lots of luxury and safety kit | Expensive for a car of this size |
| Very good to drive | Not as well finished as some rivals |
| Practical enough for a small family | There's a firm edge to the ride |
Quick Summary
The Audi A3 Mk4 (2020-present) is a premium family hatchback that maintains Audi's competitive position in the prestige segment. Available exclusively as a five-door model, it offers a spacious 380-litre boot (1,200 litres with rear seats folded) with 60/40 split-folding seats that sit flush with the boot floor. The A3 combines desirable styling with comprehensive technology, including a 10.1-inch touchscreen, 10.25-inch Virtual Cockpit digital display, satnav, DAB radio, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard across all trims.
The A3 delivers an engaging driving experience with responsive steering, strong grip and tight body control, though the ride has a noticeably firm edge. Turbocharged petrol engines achieve around 50mpg, whilst diesel variants return upwards of 60mpg. A 2024 facelift introduced styling refinements and additional technology. As a used purchase, the A3 remains desirable and competitive, though it costs slightly more than rivals and holds its value well. It's an excellent choice for those seeking premium badge appeal, advanced technology and practical family transport.
Best for: Buyers seeking premium badge appeal, advanced technology and practicality, those prioritising luxury kit and safety features, and drivers who value engaging handling and refinement.
Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those seeking the most spacious family hatchback, or drivers who prefer a softer, more compliant ride quality.
