If the Audi A3 has piqued your curiosity, but you want a little bit more power, we have quite a bit of good news. The four rings makes a sportier S3 version, and like its mainstream sibling, it has also benefitted from a few cosmetic updates for the 2017 model year. Now, with a fresh face and a beastly engine, it’s ready to win hearts and minds.

Given how popular the A3 was right out of the gate, that won’t be too difficult. The S3, however, further raises the bar. New LED daytime running lamps add a kind of angular aggression to the car’s nose, and unique wheels and other styling cues further accentuate the car’s sporty flair. Power comes by way of a thankfully lagless 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, which treats 292 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of twist, and can be had mated to the brand’s legendary Quattro all-wheel drive system.

To meet the S3 in the sheet metal, swing on down to our Audi dealership in Beverly Hills, CA and sign up for a test drive. If you have any questions about our model lineup, contact us by phone, email, or text.
