Pros & Cons
What we love
✓The A3 Saloon 35 TDI Sport is the most fuel-efficient vehicle in the entire facelifted A3 range, returning 58.9 mpg WLTP and 126 g/km CO₂ — the lowest CO₂ in the UK A3 lineup at launch. Combined with the Saloon's 425 L boot (the largest boot in the A3 family) and 50 L fuel tank, the theoretical range per fill approaches 700 miles, making it an exceptional choice for high-mileage company-car users and long-distance drivers.
✓Standard equipment matches the TFSI Sport: navigation, wireless charging, heated seats, 3-zone climate, virtual cockpit plus, and front + rear parking sensors. The 360 Nm diesel torque is delivered smoothly through the 7-speed S tronic and gives relaxed motorway pulling power that the 35 TFSI cannot match in feel.
Considerations
✕Cloth seats standard — leather requires S line or Black Edition
✕No LED rear with dynamic indicators — standard from S line
✕No sport suspension standard
✕Diesel NVH slightly higher than petrol at idle — less noticeable at motorway speed
✕Reversing camera optional only (Tech Pack £1,495)
✕Urban access restrictions (ULEZ, LEZ) may apply in some UK/European cities — verify
