The Audi A3 Sportback has been named Britain’s Car of the Year.

The German-made car is the 36th winner of the coveted What Car? prize, and was also named Small Family Car of the Year.
Editor in chief Chas Hallett said: “The Audi A3 Sportback mixes excellent refinement and an accomplished driving experience with easily the finest cabin quality ever seen in a small family hatchback.

It sets a new benchmark and it is keenly priced, a combination that makes it a worthy Car of the Year.”
