The new Audi A3 Sportback scores a longer wheelbase (58mm) and two
extra doors for added practicality. Step inside and you will also notice
slightly more head and leg room.
Yet, despite this increase in size, the Sportback manages to keep
mass to a minimum thanks to the use of lightweight materials like
aluminium and hot-shaped steel. In fact, if you really want to get
technical, it now carries around 90kg less heft than its predecessor
did.
At the moment Audi's five-door A3 is available with a choice of one
diesel (1.6 TDI) and two petrol (1.4 and 1.8 TFSI) engines. A third
petrol unit, a pint-sized 1.2 TFSI, will be joining the ranks in August.
All, with the exception of the latter and that aforementioned diesel,
can be partnered up with a six-speed manual or seven-speed S-Tronic
gearbox.
