  • Potent performance and thrilling dynamics in a new segment for Audi
  • 2.0 TFSI with 206kW/380Nm, accelerating from 0-100km/h in 5.0sec
  • A compact luxury sports sedan for an attainable $62,200*

The first-ever Audi S3 Sedan is now on sale in Australia. Combining the sporty proportions of the new A3 sedan, with the performance credentials of the S3 model, it provides extra choice for S3 buyers.

“With the dynamic styling of the new Audi A3 Sedan as a starting point, the new S3 model was always going to have a striking presence on the road,” said Andrew Doyle, Managing Director of Audi Australia.

“However, there is much more depth to this accomplished sports sedan than just looks. It offers enthusiasts a stirring drive, thanks to its powerful engine, lightweight chassis and quattro all-wheel-drive lay out,” said Mr Doyle.

Compared to the S3 Sportback, not a single panel is shared with the S3 Sedan, which is highlighted by their unique visual character. Some buyers will prefer the extra versatility of the existing S3 Sportback bodystyle, while others will be drawn to the dynamic lines of the S3 Sedan.

The S3 Sedan sits 25mm lower than the A3 Sedan, and has a slightly shorter wheelbase (6mm) for responsive handling. Utilising the same Audi ultra lightweight technology principles as the rest of the A3 and S3 range, the S3 Sedan weighs just 1,450kg.

The S3 Sedan is powered by a 2.0 TFSI engine that develops an impressive 206kW and 380Nm. Acceleration performance is just as noteworthy, reaching 100km/h from rest in just 5.0 seconds.

The sporty six-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission is standard on the S3 sedan, and it combines with Audi’s quattro permanent all-wheel drive system to offer exciting dynamics.

As to be expected of an Audi S model, the S3 Sedan features a generous list of standard equipment and features, including:
