Audi A3 Sportback Leasing
The Audi A3 Luxury 5 Door Hatch
The Audi A3 Sportback is a longer and marginally higher 5-door evolution of the standard 3-door A3. A difference of 33mm in length makes some difference to rear-seat legroom, and adds some wiggle-room to the boot space. Despite its slightly greater proportions, the A3 Sportback retains its compact classification, coming in shorter and narrower than rival models, the BMW 1 Series and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
Design
The Sportback features a lightweight and versatile design thanks to a body composed of aluminium and high-strength steel. In the latest interpretation, the overall appearance has received a stunning update with modernised light forms and bumper moulding. The interior of the car is clean and refreshingly minimal, the dash comprising of basic controls including a cover-all rotary knob for the MMI system (including navigation, media, radio and information services). The boot offers a good 380 litres of space, easily expandable by a further 120 litres with the rear seats folded.

Performance & Handling
The A3 Sportback’s entirely turbocharged engine range is kept clear and concise, with the offering climbing from 1.0, through 1.4 and 2.0-litre TFSI petrol or 1.6 and 2.0-litre diesel engines.
- Standard engine sizes: 1.4-litre petrol; 2.0-litre diesel

The Audi A3 Sportback offers a solid performance with relatively low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Audi has crafted a ride that is usually expected of much larger luxury cars,
due perhaps to its elongated wheelbase. The car cruises in soothing near-silence, rolling smoothly on strut-type front suspension and giving stable and accurate handling. The driver works with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, both offering comparable performance and economy, and no matter which engine it is, the car delivers on power and economy in equal measure.
