Review: Audi A3 Sportback 35TFSI Black Edition - CAR Magazine
Thanks to a compelling new finance structure offered by Audi SA, the premium compact segment-defining Audi A3 is more appealing than ever...www.carmag.co.za
Audi South Africa has also introduced Audi Assured. This innovative guaranteed future value offering allows you to enjoy premium driving without taking on the full financial commitment of traditional finance plans. The future value of your vehicle is guaranteed from the outset, helping to lower monthly payments while affording you three clear options at the end of the term – retain, return or trade-in your Audi. There is no guesswork, and no long-term commitment, unless you want it. This means you have control over your drive and finances.
It also brings with it the advantages of reassurance and certainty – you can drive a new Audi more often, with all the conditions laid out upfront: no hidden criteria and no challenges with managing a financial burden or resale complexity.

Verdict
The Audi A3 remains one of the most effortlessly sophisticated offerings within this segment. The combination of a well-built, high-quality interior, those svelte modern exterior lines, proven powertrain technology, and a reconsidered standard specification list adds to the appeal.

It’s a more considered way to experience Audi in today’s dynamic life.
