Design & Presence

The Audi A3 Limousine wears the brand’s restrained, premium styling with clean surfaces, a broad single-frame grille and taut shoulders that make a compact sedan look more grown-up than its size suggests. At just over 4.5 metres long it sits neatly in the small executive class, projecting more composure than flash. Slim LED headlights and a low roofline give it a slightly coupe-like silhouette that reads sharper on the road than a hatchback sibling. Overall the design is conservative but confident, the kind that ages well in car-park photos.

Interior & Usability

The cabin blends familiar Audi logic with improved ergonomics: quality materials, soft-touch surfaces and clean switchgear combine with seats that are comfortable for long commutes. A digital instrument cluster and central touchscreen keep the layout modern, while physical controls remain where they help the most for climate and quick adjustments. Build quality feels solid and insulation is good for the segment, so motorway driving is relaxed rather than noisy. Small intuitive details — good storage cubbies and sensible switch placement — make everyday use easier.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Space is one of the A3 Limousine’s strengths: it seats five and rear legroom is class-competitive thanks to the 4.504 m length, though tall passengers may notice the sloping roof on long trips. The boot holds a useful 425 litres, large enough for a couple of weekend suitcases or weekly groceries, and the trunk opening is regular and practical. Curb weight varies with engines and options, typically in the mid 1300–1600 kg range, which keeps the car nimble while still feeling planted. For daily family duty or business runs the A3 balances compact footprint with real-world usability.

Driving & Handling

The A3 Limousine drives with Audi’s hallmark composure: a well-damped ride, accurate steering and a chassis tuned more for comfort than track aggression, though sharper setups are available on sportier trims. Powertrains span from modest 116 hp units up to high-performance models, and the 0–100 km/h spread runs roughly from about 9.7 seconds on the lower end to a blistering 3.8 seconds for the RS3, with mid-range 150–204 hp engines closing the gap into the high 6–8 second area. Front-wheel drive is standard on most engines, with quattro all-wheel drive reserved for the stronger variants, which improves traction in poor weather. For everyday driving the balance leans toward secure, predictable handling with a touch of sportiness when requested.

Efficiency/Consumption & Range

Efficiency depends strongly on the powertrain: the 1.5 TFSI petrol variants typically return around 5.1–5.5 l/100 km (MHEV versions slightly better), while diesel options can be closer to 4.4–4.8 l/100 km in mixed use; the sporty S/RS models expect higher figures in the 6.6–9.2 l/100 km band. Fuel tank capacity ranges from about 45 to 55 litres, meaning practical driving ranges often fall between roughly 600 and 900 kilometres depending on engine and driving style. In ordinary urban and motorway use most petrol A3s will be economical enough for weekly fuel stops rather than daily refuelling. Selecting MHEV or diesel variants is the clearest route to lower running costs for high-mileage drivers.

Assistance & Infotainment

The A3 Limousine offers a modern suite of driver aids and connectivity, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance and parking sensors or cameras to make city manoeuvres easier. Infotainment is logically arranged with smartphone integration, navigation and voice functions, and the digital driver display keeps essential information in view without distraction. Safety systems are tuned for everyday convenience rather than intrusive intervention, and optional packs upgrade semi-autonomous features for longer highway stints. Overall the tech feels current and useful, not just showy.

Who is it for?

The Audi A3 Limousine suits buyers seeking a premium-feeling compact sedan that balances everyday practicality with polished design and a quiet cabin. It fits urban professionals, small families and anyone wanting an executive look without moving into larger-C-segment complexity, and there are powertrain choices ranging from economical MHEV and diesel options to hot S3 and RS3 variants for performance buyers. Multiple versions are available across petrol, MHEV, diesel, manual and automatic gearboxes and with front- or all-wheel drive, so the A3 can be tailored to economy-focused commuters or spirited drivers alike. For those wanting a compact, understated premium sedan the A3 Limousine is a pragmatic and well-rounded choice.
