Editor's Overview
The 2017 Audi A3 Sedan, Cabriolet and Sportback models have the unenviable job of squeezing what makes an Audi an Audi into an entry-level vehicle. Sporty and welcoming with a willingness to run, the A3 is a joy to drive, the Sportback e-tron plug-in hybrid hatchback is the line's new fuel-economy leader, and the 292-horsepower S3 with standard quattro all-wheel drive heightens both handling and acceleration.
