The Audi A3 Sportback is a compact premium hatchback produced by the German manufacturer Audi. Introduced as a more practical alternative to the standard A3, the Sportback variant features a five-door configuration and an extended roofline to provide increased rear passenger space and cargo capacity.

Positioned within the compact segment, the A3 Sportback typically seats five passengers and is available with a range of gasoline, diesel, hybrid, or performance-oriented engine options, depending on market and generation. It is built on a front-wheel-drive platform, with select models offering Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive system.

The model combines everyday usability with refined interior materials, advanced digital displays, and modern driver-assistance technologies. Over multiple generations, the Audi A3 Sportback has evolved in design and technology while maintaining a balance between compact dimensions, driving comfort, and premium features.
