    Should I buy one?

    The move to a smaller engine, at the cost of power, is a move towards reducing the basket emission levels for the entire Audi line-up, and we can expect something similar across the Audi range in the coming future.

    While Audi has not yet revealed prices for the updated A3, you can expect prices to start at around Rs 28 lakh (estimated, ex-showroom) when it goes on sale in April this year.

    On the whole, the A3 continues to be a great car, and though we’ll miss the power and performance of the old A3 petrol, not many others will. That version contributed to less than 10 percent of A3 sales. However, the more efficient, new engine could just bring about a small shift in buyer preference.
