Compared to an A3 Sportback — a model Audi hasn't sold in the U.S. in several years — the Allstreet has a 0.6-inch taller ride height. And combined with an upsized wheel-and-tire package, the Allstreet has a 1.2-inch advantage in ground clearance.

If a fuel-sipping and well-priced small luxury sedan is up your alley, the A3 is certainly worth checking out. However, there are plenty of other options in the class. These include the Acura Integra and the Audi A4, both of which have more dynamic performance and more upscale cabins than the A3.

The Audi A3 was the brand's most affordable sedan in India till the introduction of BS6 emission norms in 2020, which is when it was discontinued in our market. At this point, it is unclear if Audi intends to bring back the A3 to India.
