The A3’s sportier version was released in 2016 and started selling with 2017. The S3 gained the same visual upgrades as the A3 released in the same year, such as new matrix LED headlights, a new, more aggressive grille, new rims, new LED taillights, a new rear bumper and restyled exhaust tips.
The S3 did not come with a more different design than the A3’s, having just better wheels and the specific S badges.
The interior of the S3 was basically the same with the A3’s, however, it could be equipped with fancy bucket sport seats that were very supportive and were wrapped up in high leather quality.
The 2017 model came with 292 hp developed by the 2.-liter engine that was mated with a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, also seen on the Golf R.
The S3 was driven by the Audi’s Quattro system and users could add the magnetic shock absorbers that kept the car flat in turns and overall enhanced the ride quality.
The new S3 integrated the Audi Virtual Cockpit that was greatly customisable and also helped the driver by displaying the full navigation or any other important information for them, such as the date, temperature, recent call list, etc..
A more equipped version of the S3 could be bought at a price around $51.000.
The S3 was a good match for people that wanted undercover power in a smaller sedan.
