Our take on this /// Verdict

The Audi A3 35 TDI Attraction is a compelling package for those seeking a blend of luxury, performance, and practicality. The 2.0-litre diesel engine, producing 141 bhp and 320 Nm of torque, is refined and smooth, making it ideal for both city driving and long highway cruises. While it may not be as thrilling as its petrol counterpart, the diesel variant offers more than adequate power for overtaking and daily driving. The interior is a highlight, with top-quality materials, turbine-like vents, and a spacious boot that sets it apart from competitors. However, the rear seat space is somewhat limited. Overall, its a great choice for those who value comfort, efficiency, and the prestige of owning an Audi, even though it may not be the cheapest option in its segment.

Price

The Audi A3 35 TDI Attraction was priced in the range of Rs. 24.56 lakh to Rs. 27.42 lakh ex-showroom in India during its production run. When considering on-road prices, you can expect to add around 10-15 to the ex-showroom price, which would bring the total to approximately Rs. 27 lakh to Rs. 31.5 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. For used models, prices can vary significantly based on the year, mileage, and condition, but you can find them ranging from Rs. 18.90 lakh to Rs. 10.50 lakh. This pricing makes the A3 a competitive option in the luxury sedan segment, offering a balance of features and luxury at a relatively affordable price point.
