Audi S3 FAQs

• Is the Audi S3 fast?

  It might be the entry-level model in Audi's performance-oriented S range, however, the S3 flies around the track thanks to the backing of a 2.0-litre turbocharged motor that can produce up to 213kW of power and 380Nm of torque. With its electronic speed limiter topping out at 250km/h, you'll be stunned when you see this unit can sprint from 0-100km/h in as little as 4.8 seconds, for both the sedan and sportback variants, or 5.2 seconds for the convertible.

• Is there a new Audi S3 coming out?

  If you're in the market for an Audi S3 you might want to hold out until the second half of 2021, which is the scheduled date for the next-generation S3 to arrive on Australian shores. While the forthcoming iteration will again feature a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder paired with a dual-clutch automatic, there is a bump-up in power for the sedan and sportback, which will be capable of producing 228kW and 400Nm. Sprint times from 0-100km/h are expected to remain consistent with existing figures, as will the max speed of 250km/h.

• What is the price of the Audi S3?

  Prices for the Audi S3 begin at $64,200 for the 2.0 TFSI Quattro Sedan and peak at $73,400 for the 2.0 TFSI Quattro Convertible. These prices are based on Audi's Suggested Retail Price, so an allowance will be necessary for a more accurate guide of how much you can expect to pay when you enter a dealership, as you'll also need to fork out for on-road costs and other charges.
