The New Audi S3 Sportback Launches in Australia

The new Audi S3 Sportback sets the benchmark for affordable premium performance in Australia, available for only $59,900 (MLP).

Never before has this kind of dynamism, quality of finish and outstanding specification been available to Australian premium sports car buyers at such an affordable price.

Powered by a new 2.0 TFSI engine that develops a formidable 206kW and 380Nm, the new S3 Sportback will leap from rest to 100km/h in just 5.0sec. This kind of acceleration approaches supercar-like performance, and is typical of an Audi S model. Another characteristic is outstanding fuel efficiency, at just 6.9 litres per 100km.

The sporty six-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission and quattro permanent all-wheel drive system combine to offer enthusiasts an incredible drive. A six-speed manual gearbox is also available as a no-cost option. Compared to its popular predecessor, this latest generation S3 Sportback is 70kg lighter — a direct result of Audi ultra lightweight technology.
