Audi A3 Sedan: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the A3 Sedan rank in its segment?

Among the 18 compacts 2024–2028, the A3 Sedan ranks 1st of 18 in Combined consumption (4.7 L/100, behind the Audi A3 Sedan), 1st of 18 in Tank range (957 km, behind the Audi A3 Sedan), 18th of 18 in 0–100 km/h (10.1 s, behind the Audi RS 3 Sportback).

What is the range of the A3 Sedan?

957 km on a full tank (4.7 L/100 on the combined cycle) - 1st of 18 in autonomie du segment.

How much does the A3 Sedan cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
