Up until a short time ago, the majority of A3 sales were the diesel versions, with the 1.6 litre in particular being the big seller in the range, however with all the negative publicity that diesel has received we are seeing a swing towards the petrol versions as customers are unsure if the resale values might be affected. However despite all of this if you're doing high mileages (20 thousand a year plus) and not entering central London regularly then the extra fuel economy advantages of a diesel are still worth benefitting from, and will still save you a lot of money as even the best petrols are 10-15 miles per gallon worse off than an efficient diesel engine and that can add up to significant savings over the ownership period. The full range of 2019 A3 diesel models are listed above, just select your ideal car to see the best savings our Audi main dealers can offer you.
