FYI: Audi has revamped the S3 for 2025, boosting its horsepower to 328 hp and equipping it with the rear axle torque splitter from the RS 3.


2025 Audi S3: Enhanced Performance and Sophisticated Upgrades

Audi’s 2025 lineup sees the A3 range receiving a mid-cycle update, which includes significant enhancements to the sporty S3 and high-performance RS 3 models.

Pricing and Availability

The updated A3 and S3 models are currently available for order. The A3 starts at $39,495, while the S3 begins at $49,995, both prices including a $1,295 destination charge. Details about the RS 3’s pricing will be shared closer to its market launch.

Refined Exterior and Interior Design

Exterior Updates

The 2025 S3’s subtle exterior updates include redesigned fascias and a new frameless grille. The LED head and taillights have been refreshed, allowing owners to choose from various light signatures for the daytime running lights via the infotainment system. Moreover, Matrix LED headlights are available as an option.

Interior Enhancements

Inside, the S3 boasts new details, including:

  • Updated gear shifter and air vents design
  • New trim and dash accent options
  • Standard ambient lighting package
  • Black headliner
  • Stainless steel pedals
  • Aluminum accents featuring the S logo
  • An integrated Audi app store

Performance Boost

Powering the 2025 S3 is a refined 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, now delivering 328 horsepower—22 hp more than the previous model. This power boost allows the S3 to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 4.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 155 mph.

Transmission and Torque Distribution

The familiar 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission continues but is now optimized for higher starting torque and quicker acceleration. Audi claims the shift times have halved under full load.

Advanced Handling Features

Torque Splitter

One of the standout additions is the rear axle torque splitter borrowed from the RS 3. This innovative Haldex differential, with multi-disc clutches on each rear axle shaft, enhances handling by distributing torque not just between the front and rear axles but also between the rear wheels during aggressive cornering.

Enhanced Braking

Braking performance is improved with larger front ventilated discs, now measuring 14 inches across. These are housed within standard 18-inch wheels equipped with 225/40-size tires. Customers can also opt for 19-inch wheels with 235/35-size tires.

Suspension and Chassis

To further improve handling, the S3’s McPherson strut front suspension features a new pivot bearing, enabling more negative wheel camber. Combined with stiffer wishbones, Audi promises better grip and control during dynamic driving. Adaptive dampers are an available upgrade.

Dynamic Plus Mode

A new Dynamic Plus mode has been added to the drive mode selector. This mode increases engine idle levels for better throttle response and adjusts the transmission for later upshifts and earlier downshifts, enhancing the driving experience.

Conclusion

The 2025 Audi S3 merges subtle yet impactful design tweaks with significant performance enhancements, making it a compelling choice for enthusiasts. Its increased horsepower, advanced torque distribution technology, and refined handling capabilities set a new benchmark in the sporty compact segment.
