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 (2020-present) remains a strong contender in the prestige hatchback class, despite increased competition from rivals. This fourth-generation model offers desirable style, advanced technology, and practical interior space, making it a competitive rival to the BMW 1 Series and Mercedes A-Class. With a 380-litre boot expandable to 1,200 litres, it's roomy for a premium badge and suitable for small families.

While not a massive leap from its predecessor, the A3 is still a comfortable and entertaining car to drive, with impressive turbocharged engines for refinement, performance, and efficiency. It comes well-equipped with luxury and safety features, including a 10.1-inch touchscreen and 'Virtual Cockpit' as standard. Running costs are comparable to rivals, though it can be pricier than mainstream hatchbacks.

Best for: Buyers seeking a stylish, technologically advanced, and practical premium hatchback; those who appreciate a comfortable yet engaging drive; individuals looking for extensive luxury and safety kit as standard.

Not ideal for: Buyers on a strict budget (due to higher initial cost and potential for more expensive options); those prioritising the absolute sharpest handling over comfort; buyers sensitive to a slightly firm ride.
