Detailed analysis of the Audi S3 Sedan 2.0 TFSI 228 kW (310 CV) quattro S tronic · 310 CV (2016-2018)
General description
The 2016 Audi S3 Sedan is the embodiment of perfect balance. A vehicle that hides the soul of a purebred sports car under an elegant compact sedan body. With 310 horsepower emanating from its 2.0 TFSI engine, the legendary quattro all-wheel drive, and an instantly responsive S tronic transmission, this S3 is not just a car; it's a statement of intent for those seeking thrills without sacrificing everyday versatility.
Driving experience
Getting behind the wheel of the S3 Sedan is a pulse-pounding experience. The engine's response is immediate and forceful, pinning you to the seat with a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration of 4.6 seconds that seems to defy physics. The quattro all-wheel drive inspires absolute confidence, allowing you to carve through corners with pinpoint precision and an unwavering sense of grip, regardless of the conditions. The exhaust note, especially in Dynamic mode, is an addictive melody that accompanies every gear shift, turning every journey into a memorable event. It's a car that makes you feel connected to the road, a perfect accomplice for devouring miles.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is a lesson in sporty elegance. The sedan body gives it a classic and refined silhouette, but the S details make the difference: the specific Singleframe grille, the aluminum mirror caps, the side sills, and above all, the rear with its diffuser and four exhaust tips. It's a subtle sportiness that doesn't shout, but whispers its potential. Inside, Audi's quality is palpable in every material and fit. The sport seats, the flat-bottomed steering wheel, and the high-end finishes create an atmosphere that is both luxurious and driver-focused, a cabin that embraces you and prepares you for action.
Technology and features
Beyond its impressive mechanics, the S3 Sedan of this generation was a technological showcase. The quattro all-wheel-drive system with its multi-plate clutch intelligently manages torque to maximize traction and agility. The seven-speed dual-clutch S tronic gearbox offers lightning-fast and efficient transitions. Inside, the option to equip the Audi Virtual Cockpit transformed the driving experience, presenting information on a spectacular configurable display. Everything is designed for technology to serve the driver, enhancing both performance and comfort.
Competition
In the exclusive club of high-performance compact sedans, the Audi S3 Sedan faced rivals of the caliber of the Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 and the BMW M240i xDrive Coupé. Compared to the more extroverted and radical character of the CLA, the S3 offered a more balanced and discreet proposition. Compared to the BMW, known for its rear-axle-focused dynamics, the Audi banked on the unbeatable safety and effectiveness of its quattro all-wheel drive, making it the ultimate weapon for any weather and road. The S3 has always played the card of sophistication and versatility.
Conclusion
The Audi S3 Sedan is much more than a fast car; it is a work of engineering that achieves an almost perfect symbiosis between the functionality of a premium sedan and the adrenaline of a sports car. It is the ideal vehicle for those who value pure performance but need an all-purpose car. Its ability to be docile and comfortable in the city and transform into a precise and exciting beast on a mountain road is its greatest virtue. It is a passionate purchase justified by reason, a car you never get tired of looking at and, above all, driving.
