About the Audi S3
The Audi S3 is a high-performance compact car available in South Africa in Sportback hatchback and sedan body styles, both powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 228kW with quattro all-wheel drive and automatic transmission, offering Audi's premium brand credentials and all-wheel drive performance in a practical everyday compact format. It competes with the BMW M135 xDrive and Mercedes-AMG A35 in the performance compact segment, and represents the entry point into Audi's S performance range — delivering meaningful performance over the standard A3 while retaining the refinement and interior quality the brand is known for. The sedan body adds a boot for buyers who prefer a three-box silhouette, while the Sportback covers those who want hatchback practicality with the same S performance credentials.
