Audi S3 Sportback TFSI quattro S tronic

The 2026 Audi S3 Sportback combines the compact practicality of a five-door Sportback body with the focused character of Audi’s S performance range. Its 245 kW petrol engine produces 420 Nm of torque, while the quattro drive system and S tronic transmission provide the core mechanical specification expected of a performance-oriented Audi. A claimed top speed of 250 km/h and 0–100 km/h acceleration in 4.7 seconds underline its considerable pace, while the compact hatchback format keeps the overall concept usable for everyday driving.

Finished in Mythos Black Metallic, the S3 has a purposeful appearance shaped by S model bumpers, an S roof spoiler and Audi Sport multi-spoke S design wheels. The 19-inch anthracite black wheels feature a gloss-turned finish and are fitted with 235/35 R19 tyres, giving the car a distinctive stance. Matrix LED headlights with dynamic light sequencing and dynamic turn signals add a high-tech lighting signature, complemented by daytime running lights and a light and rain sensor.

Inside, the cabin uses a black-focused colour scheme with Express Red detailing and Fine Nappa leather upholstery with a rhombus pattern and S emblem. Sports seats with Express Red contrasting stitching reinforce the car’s performance theme, while heated front seats add comfort in cooler conditions. The leather three-spoke multifunction steering wheel includes shift paddles, placing key controls and manual transmission inputs within easy reach.

Everyday convenience is addressed through a useful collection of equipment. The storage and luggage compartment package supports the Sportback’s practical role, while the optional electric boot-lid opening with gesture control makes loading easier when both hands are occupied. Convenience key access, rear USB charging ports and the Audi phone box light further support regular use.

Technology and visibility are also well covered. Standard equipment includes a 360-degree camera system, park assist plus with a parking system and 360-degree display, MMI radio plus, Audi connect navigation and infotainment plus, and Audi connect emergency call and service with remote control. The available head-up display can project relevant information into the driver’s field of view, while electric seats with driver memory provide a more adaptable seating position.

On the road, S sport suspension with damper control, progressive steering and Audi drive select give the S3 a broad dynamic range. The combination allows the car’s performance hardware to be matched to different driving conditions without compromising the convenience of its compact five-door layout. Safety equipment includes Audi pre sense front, a multifunction camera, front side airbags with head airbag protection and an interaction airbag.
