Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for
compact among the best in segment: 5th of 18 in 0–100 km/h (6.3 s).
Less suitable for
Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 7,2 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.
Alternatives to consider
If the priority is Combined consumption, the Audi A3 Sedan (1st with 4.7 L/100) takes the lead. If the priority is Tank range, the Audi A3 Sedan (1st with 957 km) takes the lead.
Fuel consumption: 7.2 L/100 L/100 (12th of 18 in Combined consumption)
The A3 Sedan consumes 7.2 L/100 on the WLTP combined cycle. The segment reference is the Audi A3 Sedan (4.7 L/100).
Tank range: 764 km (11th of 18 in Tank range)
On a full tank, the A3 Sedan covers 764 km on the combined cycle. The segment reference reaches 957 km.
