If you're after a new Audi hatchback, your two main choices are the small A1 or the larger A3. So, if you're interested in how they compare, and want some advice on choosing the right one for you, read on.
General driving performance
Depending on where you're going to spend more of your time driving, you may prefer the A1 in terms of manoeuvrability and size. The A3 is suited to town-driving too because of great visibility and parking sensors, but it is definitely one of the bigger cars. Both cars come with adaptive cruise control, however, making motorway driving as easy as ever.
Prices
With just £4K between the two cars, how do you know which is the better choice?
The average price for the Audi A1 is £32,302 and the average price for the Audi A3 is £36,704. In the long term the A1 works out slightly cheaper to run but there's not much in it. The A3 is undoubtedly the comfier and most up to date of the two cars and if money is tight the added luxury isn't worth it, but it's dependent on personal preference.
There are several financing options to consider when thinking about purchasing a new car. Audi offers a variety of flexible finance and leasing options, allowing you to benefit from the exclusive offers and generous deposit contributions.
One of the more popular ways of financing an expensive car is to enter a car competition like Dream Car Giveaways, in hopes of winning your dream car at a fraction of the cost! To be in with a chance of winning all you have to do is choose a competition and how many entries you'd like to make, answer the qualifying questions and watch a live stream to determine if you're a lucky winner.
Interior and style
Both cars share a lot of the same designs - from the pentagonal grille to the slots at the top of the bumper. The A1 was created just before the trend of the 'boomerang headlight shape' began, but this is the main external difference between the two, apart from the size.
In general, the A1 doesn't match the A3 for quality, although it does feel nice for a smaller car.
As a standard feature in the A1, you get a 9-inch touchscreen system instead of a simple sat-nav. The A3 offers a 10-inch unit that features all of Audi's latest software and is said to be a lot more responsive than lots of other touchscreen infotainment systems.
Final Thoughts
So, there you have it - everything you need to know to make a side by side comparison of the Audi A1 and the Audi A3.
Overall, you will now have a better idea of the differences between the two Audi's, and which of the two fares better for the cost. There are dozens more statistics and exact details available online for both new and used cars, so take your time to consider every aspect of each motor, and what financing options are available to you, before making your purchase.
