S3 menawarkan enam mod pemanduan, termasuk mod Dynamic Plus untuk tindak balas pendikit yang lebih tajam dan selekoh yang lebih baik. Audi telah menambah baik suspension, stereng dan brek untuk meningkatkan dinamik pemanduan. Reka bentuk ini termasuk gril baharu, lampu depan dan ciri dalaman seperti lampu ambien dan tempat duduk sport.

Di dalam, kabin adalah digital dan connected, dengan ciri standard seperti skrin sentuh 10.1 inci, kokpit virtual Audi dan pengecas telefon pintar. Ciri pilihan termasuk navigasi MMI ditambah dan akses kepada store untuk app. Fungsi atas permintaan membolehkan pengguna menambah ciri dalam talian melalui aplikasi myAudi walaupun selepas membeli kenderaan.

Audi S3 2025 akan tersedia di pengedar Eropah tidak lama lagi, dengan harga di Jerman bermula pada €55,600 (RM286,889).

Under the hood, Audi’s engineers have fine-tuned the 2.0-litre TFSI four-cylinder engine to produce 328hp and 420Nm of torque. This represents an increase of 22hp and 20Nm over the outgoing model. With these improvements, the new S3 can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in just 4.7 seconds and reach a limited top speed of 250km/h.

Audi has also optimised the turbocharger’s performance by keeping it at a constant rpm during steady-speed driving with low to medium acceleration. Additionally, modifications to the seven-speed S-tronic transmission have halved shift times under full load. The 2025 S3 now features the same torque splitter as the RS 3, enabling fully variable torque distribution between the rear wheels.

Enhancements extend beyond the powertrain. The 2025 S3 offers six driving modes, including a Dynamic Plus mode that maximiSes torque distribution to the rear axle and outside rear wheel during cornering, promoting oversteer. The throttle response is also sharpened in this mode.

To further enhance driving dynamics, Audi has installed stiffer wishbone and pivot bearings, optimised the progressive steering, and included standard S sports suspension, which lowers the ride height by 15mm compared to the standard A3. Wheel-selective torque control has been refined, and the brakes now feature 357mm front discs and new two-piston callipers.

Design updates include a new singleframe grille, revised LED and LED Matrix headlights, and configurable daytime running lights. Inside, the cabin boasts a new shifter, air vents, ambient lighting, and backlit fabric panels on the front doors. Exclusive S3 features comprise a black roof lining, stainless steel pedals, aluminium accents, sports seats, and carbon fibre elements.

The S3 is digital and connected – thanks to numerous connect services, functions on demand, and a store for apps. In addition to DAB+ digital radio and the 10.1-inch touch display, the Audi virtual cockpit, and an inductive smartphone charger all come as standard. In addition to the two front USB C charging ports in the centre console, there are two additional ports in the rear as standard.

Other optional features include MMI navigation plus, along with the complete connect portfolio and access to the store for apps, which allows the driver to use a wide range of applications right on the vehicle display. The selected apps are installed in the S3’s infotainment system – without taking a detour via the user’s smartphone. Users can also interact with their apps via voice command. Functions on demand ensures a high degree of flexibility. A total of five individual infotainment and comfort functions can be added online via the myAudi app, even after the vehicle has been purchased.

The 2025 Audi S3 will arrive at European dealerships this quarter, with prices in Germany starting at €55,600 (RM286,889).

Berikutan peningkatan baru-baru ini, enjin empat-silinder TFSI 2.0-liter menerima peningkatan yang ketara, memberikan 23hp tambahan dan 20Nm tork. Ini memastikan kuasa yang mencukupi untuk pemanduan dinamik, dengan daya tarikan yang kukuh dan pecutan yang bertenaga tersedia merentasi julat RPM yang luas dari 2,100 hingga 5,500rpm. Memecut dari 0-100km/j hanya mengambil masa 4.7 saat, dengan kelajuan maksimum yang disenaraikan pada 249km/j.

Menambah keseronokan, turbocharger menerima pre-boost untuk memastikan penghantaran kuasa yang cepat dan lancar. Sama ada berkelajuan rendah atau memperlahankan laju, turbocharger mengekalkan putaran yang stabil, menjamin aliran kuasa yang konsisten. Tambahan pula, dengan valve throttle kekal terbuka semasa saat prestasi tinggi, pemandu boleh mengharapkan tindak balas enjin yang lebih baik.

Tempoh pemeliharaan bukaan valve throttle yang diperpanjang menterjemahkan penghantaran tork yang dipercepat, menghasilkan tindak balas enjin yang lebih bertenaga, terutamanya ketara dalam mod dinamik atau dengan profil dinamik plus baharu yang diaktifkan.

Dilengkapi dengan pembahagi tork, Audi S3 menjanjikan kecekapan dan kestabilan yang lebih baik, dilengkapi dengan brek yang lebih besar dan tayar prestasi untuk meningkatkan kecekapan kawalan. Selain itu, transmisi yang lebih sporty yang menampilkan transmisi S tronic tujuh kelajuan Audi menambah keseronokan memandu, menjanjikan peralihan gear yang lancar dan prestasi yang lebih tinggi dalam setiap perjalanan.

Lebih banyak maklumat akan tersedia apabila Audi S3 membuat penampilan rasmi.

Thanks to recent enhancements, the 2.0-litre TFSI four-cylinder engine receives a notable boost, delivering an additional 23hp and 20Nm of torque. This ensures abundant power for dynamic drives, with robust pulling force and spirited acceleration available across a wide RPM range from 2,100 to 5,500rpm. Accelerating from 0-100km/h takes a mere 4.7 seconds, with the top speed gracefully capped at 249km/h.

Adding to the excitement, the turbocharger receives a pre-boost, ensuring rapid and smooth power delivery. Whether cruising or gently accelerating, the turbocharger maintains a steady spin, guaranteeing a consistent stream of power. Moreover, with the throttle valve remaining open during high-performance moments, drivers can anticipate enhanced engine responsiveness.

The extended duration of the throttle valve’s openness translates to accelerated torque delivery, resulting in an even livelier engine response, particularly noticeable in dynamic mode or with the new dynamic plus profile engaged.

Equipped with a torque splitter, the Audi S3 promises enhanced agility and stability, complemented by larger brakes and performance tyres to elevate handling prowess. Furthermore, a sportier transmission featuring Audi’s seven-speed S tronic transmission adds to the driving thrill, promising seamless gear shifts and heightened performance on every journey.

More information will be available when the Audi S3 makes its official debut.
