"Does the move upmarket pay off, or does it pay the price?"

You’re looking at a conventional petrol-powered sedan, which based on the Audi’s plans for 2022 and beyond sticks out like a sore thumb. That’s because Audi is fielding a raft of full EV models for this year, not to mention expanding the number of compact SUVs to echo market trends.

Not that any part of the new Audi A3 can be criticized for feeling old. This is a complete and bold rework of Audi’s successful formula; it’s sharper literally everywhere and lets its creative streak run wild despite wearing one of the most modest badges (engine included) in Audi’s range.
