The 2022 Audi S3 sedan is the brand’s least expensive S model and sits between the standard A3 and the ultra-high-performance RS3.
The S3’s styling is a bit more creased than before with blistered fenders that are a nod to the original Audi Quattro, a hexagon-shaped grille, and matrix LED headlights.
The 2022 S3 is just fractionally larger than its predecessor, and its main exterior dimensions are within an inch of the Y2K-era B5 Audi S4.
The S3 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.
The S3 engine makes 306 horsepower, an increase of 18 horsepower over the outgoing model.
In our testing, the 2022 S3 reached 60 mph in 4.3 seconds, besting its predecessor by 0.2 second.
We also measured a respectable 0.96 g of grip on the skidpad, although we did note a fair degree of understeer.
The S3 interior has been completely redesigned with an angular design theme.
A digital instrument cluster and a 10.1-inch center touchscreen are standard. Our test car upgraded to a larger, 12.3-inch cluster.
Pricing for the S3 starts at $46,895.
