The latest iteration of the Audi A3 has a new angular body and a plush cabin packed full of the latest tech, making it a perfect example of how to give a premium edge to a modest hatchback.
The workings behind the scenes are a little bit more conservative, but Audi plays well to its market and knows that the overall style and features are more than enough to make people consider the A3 above BMW’s 1 Series or Mercedes-Benz’s A-Class.
