Exterior Design and Dimensions
Exterior Rating:
The A3 is petite but instantly recognizable as an Audi, which helps its owners earn luxury cred at a relatively affordable price.
What’s New for 2018?
Audi has made no changes to the exterior styling of the A3 for 2018, and it remains an attractive design that clearly echoes more expensive sedans from elsewhere in the lineup.

Exterior Dimensions
The A3 convertible is slightly shorter in both length and height than the sedan, and both are very close in size to the BMW 2-series, which is the most direct size comparison in this set. The Lexus IS is almost 10 inches longer than the A3, but since that difference doesn’t gain IS owners more rear-seat space or a significantly larger cargo hold, we hesitate to call it an advantage for the Lexus.

Exterior Features
A panoramic sunroof is standard in the A3 sedan, which helps the cabin feel open and spacious even though this is the smallest four-door in Audi’s lineup. The A3’s power-folding roof can be opened or closed in less than 20 seconds at speeds of up to 31 mph, according to Audi, so surprise rain showers need not be feared.
