With its sharp handling, upscale accommodations, and confident style, the Audi A3 is an excellent choice for drivers seeking a fun-to-drive luxury sedan with city-friendly maneuverability. It's also a compelling entry point into the automaker's premium portfolio. If you like the A3's formula but want something a little more thrilling, Audi Tysons Corner invites you to consider its performance-upgraded variant, the Audi S3.
2023 Audi S3 Performance
The turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the regular Audi A3 sends 201 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque to the wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Front-wheel-drive is standard, but Audi quattro® AWD is available to enhance handling and all-season control.
The Audi S3 dials up the excitement with a higher-output 2.0-liter turbo-four tuned to produce 306 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque—helping the car sprint from zero to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds. Standard quattro® AWD and summer performance tires keep the S3 nimble through curves and corners. You can enjoy even more athletic handling with the available S Sport package, which adds sport suspension and adaptive dampers.
2023 Audi S3 Features
In addition to more power and a few handling upgrades, the Audi S3 has few style and feature attributes to distinguish itself from the standard A3. A few examples include:
- Quad exhaust tips (concealed exhaust in A3)
- 155 mph top track speed (130 mph in A3)
- Decklid spoiler (no spoiler for A3)
- 18-inch alloy wheels (17" in A3)
- Run-flat summer tires (all-season tires for A3)
- Available head-up display
- Available Matrix-design LED headlights
- Available LED taillights/turn signals with animation
