Following the launch of the new 2025 Audi A3 facelift last month, the German automaker has now revealed the highly anticipated S3 variant, complete with numerous performance enhancements.
Performance Upgrades for the 2025 Audi S3
Audi has upgraded the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, increasing its power output to 328 horsepower and torque to 420 Nm. This marks an increase of 22 horsepower and 20 Nm compared to the previous model. The vehicle now accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds, with a top speed of 250 km/h.
The 7-speed transmission has also been revamped for quicker gear shifts, while a dedicated system for variable torque distribution to the rear wheels enhances driving dynamics based on road conditions.
The 2025 S3 comes with six distinct driving modes, including a special dynamic mode for improved handling in sharp turns. Additionally, the suspension system has been refined to bolster stability and comfort, and the car is equipped with larger brakes.
Aesthetic Updates for Exterior and Interior
On the exterior, the S3 receives several updates, including a new front grille and modified Matrix LED headlights. Inside the cabin, new air vents, a redesigned gear shifter, ambient lighting, stainless steel pedals, and carbon fiber accents have been introduced.
Audi plans to launch the new 2025 S3 in Europe in the coming weeks, with prices starting from €55,600 (approximately 226,000 SAR).
