The new 2023 Audi S3 is something of a well-kept secret in the automotive industry, at least when it comes to performance vehicles. Underneath its unassuming body, the little Audi hides a very high level of performance, worthy of the best Audi S and RS cars. The Audi RS 3 is moving away from the market but the Audi S3, while not a direct replacement, offers similar features.
What's certain is that if you're a fan of the Audi RS 3, you'll appreciate the Audi S3. Here are three things that set Audi's impressive entry-level sedan apart.
Phenomenal power
While the Audi A3 is available in several versions with multiple powertrains, the S3 is the top-of-the-line model.
It is powered by a powerful 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces a whopping 306 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. This excessively powerful engine is capable of reaching 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds.
Surprising in everyday driving
The Audi S3 is not an RS 3, we all know that. It's not as aggressive or as sharp, but that makes it much more interesting in everyday driving. For one, the S3 is more comfortable on rough roads and of course, it features Quattro all-wheel drive, which means it can confidently handle any road conditions. It's not hard to imagine driving the Audi S3 year-round, even in a snowstorm. In fact, you can have a lot of fun in an Audi S3 in winter!
A performance/price ratio that's hard to beat
Priced at just under $50,000, the Audi S3 offers an almost unbeatable performance/price ratio. Very few vehicles offered at this price can boast such dynamic accelerations and such a quick time to 100 km/h. But it's not just that. The Audi S3 handles like a true sports car in the corners and offers a sporty yet very fun ride.
