About the 2025 Audi S3
Thinking about the 2025 Audi S3 as your next daily driver? This little sedan punches well above its weight, offering a genuinely sporty feel without punishing you during the commute. With 328 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque routed through the standard all-wheel drive system, the S3 feels lively in traffic and capable when the roads open up. While it demands premium unleaded, its 26 MPG combined rating is reasonable for this level of performance in a compact package. Inside, five passengers get decent space, though the 8.3 cubic feet of trunk space is where you’ll notice its compact nature—perfect for grocery runs but maybe challenging for a long road trip’s worth of luggage. Starting around $48,700, the 2025 Audi S3 gives you German engineering and impressive power in a highly manageable size.
