306 HP for the 2022 Audi S3

Towards the end of next year, the new generation of Audi's A3 compact sedan will hit dealerships as a 2022 model. Today, the Ingolstadt-based automaker presented the sporty S3 version, both as a sedan and a hatchback. We’ll most likely get the sedan, though not the hatchback version.

Technical details of the car destined for our market will be confirmed later, but for now, the S3 is powered with a 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo engine producing 306 hpand 295 ft-lb of torque. The unit will be mated to a standard 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, which will bring the car fromt a stop to 100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds. Maximum speed will be 250 km/h.

The current S3 is currently equipped with a similar engine delivering 292 hp and 280 ft-lb of torque, as well as a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Of course, as is the case with the current generation, the next one will also rely on quattro all-wheel drive.
