Pricing
If you're looking for a way to enjoy premium levels of luxury and high-end performance at a price that remains affordable for the class, the 2017 Audi A3 is obviously the way to go, coming in with a more affordable price all the way up the line:
- Audi A3 - MSRP from $31,200
- Lexus IS - MSRP from $37,825
Standard Fuel Economy
Both the 2017 Audi A3 Premium and 2017 Lexus IS Turbo, the base trims in the respective lineups, come standard with a turbocharged 2.0L inline-four engine, but that's where the similarities in performance begin and end. Not only does the Audi A3 offer your choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, but when it comes to fuel economy, the A3 blows away the Lexus IS:
- Audi A3 - Standard fuel economy on the Audi A3 with a front-wheel drivetrain and the turbocharged inline-four comes in at an impressive EPA-estimated 35 mpg highway and 26 mpg city. With Audi's quattro® all-wheel drive system, those numbers reduce only slightly to 31 mpg highway and 24 mpg city.
- Lexus IS - The Lexus IS Turbo is only offered with a rear-wheel drive setup. With this model's turbocharged inline-four engine, you can expect to get up to only 32 mpg highway and 22 mpg city.
Base Features
No matter which one of these luxury sedans you decide to take home, you can look forward to standard features like 17-inch wheels, a 10-speaker sound system, Bluetooth® connectivity, an advanced infotainment system, and dual-zone automatic climate control. However, the Audi A3 comes standard with leather upholstery throughout the cabin, while the Lexus IS only gets premium vinyl upholstery. On top of that, only the Audi A3 comes equipped with a panoramic sunroof for those beautiful summer nights.
