They both share the brilliant 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder TFSI engine that churns out 206kW at 5,100-6,500rpm and 380Nm at 1,800-5,100rpm.While 206kW isn’t exactly anaemic, keen-eyed readers may notice that Aussie drivers have been shortchanged by 15kW compared to their European counterparts, due to our “hot climate”. The S3 Sedan feels low and controllable, there’s an abundance of grip from the chassis and tyres as you swing the S3 from side to side.
The Audi S3 sedan, though, is the all-rounder and arguably the nicest one to own.
Audi claims the sales split will be 50:50 between the body styles. But even with this approach, Audi still managed to add a few new features into the cabin, including new sport sets that can be upgraded to S-line performance seats, instruments with gray dials, and trim strips in black 3D look.When the adage apparently became simpler is better and cleaner, Audi made sure that the S3 Sedan lived by it.Powering the new Audi S3 Sedan is a 2.0-liter TFSI engine that produces 296 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. The MMI system itself is superb – there’s a high-resolution slimline screen, knurled silver switchgear that is easy to rotate, and easy to access Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity options, though a dedicated Audi iPhone cable is required as there is no USB input.The optional ($4990) S performance package (taken up by a good many S3 Sportback buyers according to Audi) adds even more gear, including 19s (with two choices of design), full LED headlights, diamond-patterned sports buckets (though with electric adjustability deleted), and most crucially, Audi magnetic ride and a 705-watt Bang and Olufsen audio system.The latter stereo option may be needed, because the S3 sedan suffers from road roar, particularly on coarse-chip surfaces. As much as the rip of the gearbox shift is exciting so is the handling when you get it onto a nice long stretch of twisty tarmac. Save up to $9,386 on one of 1,758 used 2014 Audi A4s near you. When the fuel saving start/stop engine cut kicks in, the restart to moving time is prolonged and the rolling speed in first gear is maybe a bit fast for crawling traffic. 2014 Audi S3 sedan . With 206kW of power (between 5100-6500rpm) and 380Nm of torque (over an astonishingly broad 1800-5100rpm), the S3 sedan claims a 5.0-second 0-100km/h sprint.It never feels quite that fast, probably because its speed is delivered with buttery smoothness rather than a hard edge. It’s an addictive sound, I found myself using the paddle shifters more often than usual, snapping the upshift paddle like a Formula 1 driver.
Its high-performance four-cylinder engine combines highly advanced efficiency technologies – dual fuel injection, exhaust manifold integrated in the cylinder head, the Audi valvelift system and a rotary valve module for thermal management.This version of the Audi S3 Sedan, paired with the S tronic, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 4.9 seconds; with the manual transmission it takes 5.3 seconds. It stiffens the optional adaptive suspension (fitted to the test car), sharpens the throttle response and keeps revs higher for longer – perfect for blasting through country B-roads.There is also an Individual mode that allows you to tailor the chassis to your requirement. Whilst driving in traffic or start/stop driving it can be a bit jerky, as you lift your foot off the brake and let the car creep in first gear, the initial bite can be a bit bumpy.
Throw the car into a corner and its unflappable grip and seriously impressive amount of traction makes corner carving a child’s play, whether in the wet or dry.This, no doubt is aided by the S3’s four electronic differential locks integrated in the Electronic Stabilisation Programme that enhances grip.
