Why it stands out

The 2016 Audi A3 builds on the appeal of Audi’s entry-level luxury car by adding more features, functionality, and flair just one year after a redesign. It stands out for its well-sorted chassis, classy interior, and invigorating drivetrain, which already made the competition nervous, and for the way Audi continued to make the package more attractive without losing its everyday usability.

For 2016, a reversing camera, parking sensors, and heated washers and mirrors became standard, giving the A3 more convenience and confidence in daily driving. A new S Line appearance package also adds a more aggressive look while preserving the car’s practical character. The result is a compact luxury sedan that feels polished and thoughtfully equipped, though its appeal is strongest for buyers who value refinement and style as much as outright space or utility.
