Audi S3 Sportback TFSI quattro S tronic

2026 Audi S3 TFSI quattro S tronic.

The 2026 Audi S3 Sportback combines compact dimensions with the purposeful character expected of an S model. Its five-door Sportback body gives the car a practical everyday shape, while the TFSI quattro S tronic specification brings together petrol power, an automatic transmission and Audi's quattro all-wheel-drive system. Finished in Daytona Grey Pearl Effect, this example has a restrained exterior colour that suits the S3's athletic design without overwhelming its compact proportions.

Performance is central to the S3's appeal. The vehicle is specified with 245 kW, equivalent to 333 HP, and 420 Nm of torque. Audi quotes a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h. The S sport suspension with damper control, progressive steering and Audi drive select are intended to give the driver greater scope to tailor the car's responses, while the quattro drivetrain adds traction when the road surface or weather becomes less predictable.

The cabin combines a distinctly sporting theme with equipment aimed at making regular driving more comfortable. Fine Nappa leather upholstery with a rhombus pattern and S emblem provides a premium focal point, complemented by heated front seats and a three-spoke multifunction leather steering wheel with shift paddles. The available sports seats feature Express Red contrasting stitching, adding colour and visual definition to the otherwise predominantly black interior.

Technology is well represented. Standard equipment includes MMI radio plus, Audi connect navigation and infotainment plus, and Audi connect emergency call and service with remote control functionality. Audi phone box light supports the vehicle's communication and connectivity offering. A 360-degree camera system and park assist plus with a 360-degree display are useful in confined spaces, helping make the compact hatchback easier to position in urban environments.

Lighting and visibility features include Matrix LED headlights with dynamic light sequencing and dynamic turn signals, daytime running lights, and a light and rain sensor. The vehicle also includes a convenience key, rear USB charging ports and a storage and luggage compartment package. An S roof spoiler reinforces the car's performance-oriented styling, while the standard Audi Sport multi-spoke S design wheels use an Anthracite Black finish with a gloss-turned surface and 235/35 R19 tyres.

This example also includes a selection of optional equipment. The Premium plus package adds features including electric seats with driver memory and a head-up display, while the exterior specification includes privacy glass, a black exterior styling package plus and high-gloss black mirror housings. Carbon Atlas structure inlays provide an additional contrast within the cabin. These additions broaden the S3's equipment mix without changing its compact, driver-focused character.

Safety and driver assistance equipment includes Audi pre sense front, a multifunction camera and side airbags with a head airbag system and front interaction airbag. The combination of assistance technology, parking cameras and compact Sportback packaging gives the S3 a useful balance between performance capability and day-to-day convenience. With its petrol powertrain, automatic S tronic transmission, quattro drive and strong equipment specification, this new S3 Sportback presents a focused interpretation of the premium performance hatchback.
