Petrol has become fuel of choice since all of the bad publicity Diesels have received, and the A3 has a fantastic range, starting with the 1.0 litre which does sound underpowered but for town work it does a fine job, then the all new 1.5 litre engine which has become an instant best seller and the powerful 2.0 TFSI unit both in its normal guise an highly tuned S3 performance model. The petrols will always be around 10mpg worse off than the equivalent diesel but the Nox emissions are typically a lot better, and residual values are now stronger. The full range of 2019 A3 petrol models are listed above, just select your ideal car to see the best savings our Audi main dealers can offer you.
