CAR magazine UK reveals details of the new Audi S3 Sportback and saloon with pictures and specs
Audi has revealed its feistier and more potent S3 Sportback and Saloon model for its 2024 facelift. The updated hot hatch benefits from more power and some tech that’s trickled down from the even angrier RS3.

Elsewhere, it’s typical Audi facelift fare. The exterior has been given a light going over with a new-look grille, fresh wheel designs. You can also customise your daytime running light signatures. The interior has barely changed, really, apart from a revised version of Audi’s infotainment system that can have apps installed onto it.
