Pros & Cons

What we love
The A3 Saloon 35 TFSI Sport offers the same comprehensive standard equipment as its Sportback sibling — navigation, wireless charging, heated seats, 3-zone climate — but adds a traditional notchback body with a 425 L boot (45 L more than the Sportback hatch), a lower Cd of 0.27 (vs 0.29), and a 4 mph higher top speed of 144 mph at the same £32,600 entry point. The Saloon profile is more formal and executive in appearance, suiting business users and those who prioritise boot space over the Sportback's split-fold practicality.
The Saloon's rear-seat headroom is slightly less than the Sportback due to the sloping roofline, but legroom is comparable thanks to the shared 2,618 mm wheelbase. With better aerodynamics and slightly better fuel economy (54.3 mpg WLTP vs Sportback's 53.3 mpg), the Saloon makes a compelling case for the family or company-car buyer.
Considerations
Cloth seats standard — part-leather requires S line or Black Edition
No LED rear with dynamic indicators — standard from S line
No sport suspension — S line/Black Edition only
No privacy glass — standard from S line
Slightly less rear headroom than Sportback due to saloon roofline
Reversing camera optional only (Tech Pack £1,495)
