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 powertrain is paired with an S tronic automatic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive, giving this example a clearly performance-oriented mechanical specification while retaining the everyday usability expected of a compact hatchback.

Performance credentials are matched by a composed chassis package. S sport suspension with damper control is designed to provide a more purposeful connection between the car and the road, while progressive steering and Audi drive select allow the driving response to be tailored to different conditions. The published figures include 420 Nm of torque, a 250 km/h top speed and 0–100 km/h acceleration in 4.7 seconds.

The exterior is finished in Glacier White Metallic and incorporates S model bumpers, Audi Sport multi-spoke S design wheels in Anthracite Black with a gloss-turned finish, and 235/35 R19 tyres. Matrix LED headlights with dynamic light sequencing and dynamic turn signals add a distinctive lighting signature, while daytime running lights and a light and rain sensor contribute to visibility and convenience.

Inside, the cabin uses Fine Nappa leather with a rhombus pattern and S emblem, complemented by black trim and Express Red detailing. Heated front seats support comfort in cooler conditions, while the leather three-spoke multifunction steering wheel includes shift paddles for a more involved driving experience. Sports seats with Express Red contrasting stitching are included among the vehicle’s optional equipment, along with electric seats with driver memory.

Technology is particularly well represented. A head-up display can place key driving information within the driver’s line of sight, while the MMI radio plus system and Audi connect navigation and infotainment provide the central media and connectivity functions. Audi phone box light adds a dedicated smartphone storage and connectivity feature. The standard equipment list also includes Audi connect emergency call and service with remote control functionality.

Parking and driver assistance equipment includes 360-degree cameras, park assist plus with a parking system and 360-degree display, a multifunction camera and Audi pre sense front. These systems are useful in both tight urban spaces and more demanding driving environments, helping the S3 deliver a broader range of everyday capability than its performance designation alone might suggest.
