Engine & Performance
The Audi A3 is available with a choice of efficient petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid engines, along with two high-performance models. The petrol range includes a 1.0-litre TFSI with 110 bhp and a 1.5-litre TFSI with 150 bhp, the latter featuring mild-hybrid technology to boost efficiency. Diesel options use a 2.0-litre TDI with outputs of 116 bhp or 150 bhp.
For lower running costs and reduced emissions, the 40 TFSI e plug-in hybrid combines a 1.4-litre petrol engine with an electric motor to produce 204 bhp. It offers up to 35 miles of electric range (WLTP), perfect for commuting or short trips, and can be recharged in just a few hours at home or at public charge points.
Performance models raise the bar further. The Audi S3 delivers 333 bhp from its 2.0-litre turbocharged engine with Quattro all-wheel drive, while the RS3 uses a 2.5-litre five-cylinder engine producing 400 bhp and accelerating from 0–62 mph in only 3.8 seconds.

Performance models stand out with unique touches. The S3 includes quad exhausts and aggressive design details, while the RS3 features flared arches, a honeycomb grille, and RS-specific styling that highlights its performance credentials.
