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.

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 12th of 18 in Combined consumption (7.2 L/100, behind the Audi A3 Sedan), 11th of 18 in Tank range (764 km, behind the Audi A3 Sedan), 5th of 18 in 0–100 km/h (6.3 s, behind the Audi RS 3 Sportback).

What is the range of the A3 Sedan?

764 km on a full tank (7.2 L/100 on the combined cycle) - 11th of 18 in Tank range.

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.

Why not a Audi A3 Sedan instead?

The Audi A3 Sedan leads in Combined consumption (4.7 L/100 vs 7.2 L/100). The choice depends on your priorities: check the A3 Sedan vs Audi A3 Sedan duel for a detailed comparison.

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.
