Who they are

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.

Profile · 8Y (facelift 2024)

Audi A3 Sportback

C-segment hatchback on the MQB platform, shared with Volkswagen Golf and Seat Leon. The 35 TFSI delivers about 150 hp from a petrol four-cylinder with 48V mild hybrid. WLTP around 5.8 l/100km (manufacturer figure, indicative); owners report 6.5-7.5 l/100km mixed (public forums, not measured by us).

Profile · 1.5 TSI (NX, facelift 2024)

Skoda Octavia

Spacious family liftback on the MQB platform. Strong points are the boot (600 l) and the braked towing weight (1,600 kg). The 1.5 TSI with mild-hybrid returns WLTP 5.6 l/100km; owners report 6-7 l/100km in practice (public forums, not measured by us).
