Pros & Cons

What we love
✓The A3 Sportback 35 TFSI Sport is the entry point to the facelifted A3 Sportback range, offering a comprehensive standard specification that includes 10.25" Virtual Cockpit Plus, 10.1" MMI touchscreen with navigation, wireless charging, heated front seats, 3-zone climate control, and front + rear parking sensors as standard — exceptional value at £32,035. The 150 PS MHEV powertrain is refined, efficient (53.3 mpg WLTP), and punches above its weight in response to the 48V mild-hybrid boost.
✓The Sport's 17" alloys strike the best comfort-versus-style balance in the A3 lineup, giving a noticeably more compliant ride than the 18" S line or 19" Black Edition, while the cloth sport seats are well-bolstered for everyday driving. Drive Select modes (Comfort/Auto/Dynamic/Individual) are standard from the Sport, making this the sensible choice for buyers who want a complete, comfortable compact premium hatch without paying for sport suspension or larger wheels.
Considerations
✕Cloth seats standard — part-leather sport seats require S line or Black Edition
✕No LED rear lights with dynamic indicators — standard from S line only
✕No sport suspension — S line and Black Edition get sport-tuned setup
✕No privacy glass — standard from S line
✕Reversing camera optional only (Tech Pack £1,495)
✕Blind-spot monitor and adaptive cruise assist optional only (Tech Pack / Tech Pack Pro)
