Car Deal of the Day: Posh but not pricey… Audi’s A3 is yours for a super-low £236 a month

The Audi A3 is a high-ranking hatchback, but this price would make you think otherwise. It’s our Deal of the Day for 30 January.

  • Upmarket image, good to drive
  • Desirable S line trim
  • Only £236.30 a month

Audi’s A3 Sportback seemed like a steal for £282 a month when we featured it a few weeks ago, but now prices have fallen by a whopping £50 a month. 

That means you can get the posh hatchback for just £236.30 a month via the Auto Express Buy A Car service.

This deal, from Select Car Leasing, is for two years and has an annual mileage limit of 5,000 miles, after an initial outlay of £3,189.60. Nudging this up to 8,000 miles a year won’t break the bank, either – it’s only £13 extra a month after an initial payment of £3,346.92.

The deal we featured earlier this month was for the entry-level Sport, but you’ll be moving up in the world here with the desirable S line. 

So, on top of the Sport’s heated front seats, three-zone climate control and a 10.1-inch touchscreen with sat-nav and 3D mapping, there’s a sporty bodykit, sports suspension and multi-coloured ambient lighting. 

Power comes from one of the Volkswagen Group’s 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engines. With 148bhp, it’s a punchy performer, mated to slick S tronic gearbox. It’s quick and frugal – 0-62mph takes 8.1 seconds and it’ll return a claimed 51.4mpg.

The upmarket ambience is repeated inside, as the cabin is packed full with high-end tech and quality materials. It’s a roomy hatchback, too, with plenty of space in the rear and a generous 380-litre boot.
