The new-generation Audi A3 small luxury car has been on sale in Australia for a few months. You can get a mild-hybrid 1.5-litre turbo 35 TFSI model, reviewed here in sedan form. It costs $49,600 before on-road costs. There is also an A3 Sportback hatch that is $2500 cheaper, and arguably more practical. Or, for $56,500 you can have an AWD A3 40 TFSI Quattro with 140kW.

The Audi A3 competes with the BMW 1 Series and 2 Series Gran Coupe, Mercedes-Benz A-Class and CLA, Cupra Leon and other premium small cars.
