Audi’s hopped-up entry-level sedan saw a slight overhaul for the 2025 model year. Launching in the 2022 model year, the latest generation S3 sees updated styling and extra oomph.

The 2025 Audi S3 packs a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood that sends 328 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque through the seven-speed automatic transmission.

That power then travels through the standard Quattro all-wheel-drive system before making its way to the wheels. That’s a 22-hp bump over the previous model year, with the peak torque staying the same.

On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of the 2025 Audi S3 and puts it through its paces. Wren takes you on a guided tour of the updated S3 and highlights some of his favorite features.

Later, Wren takes you along for a live drive review, then chats with Autoweek’s Patrick Carone about the S3, how it stacks up with the competitive set, and more. Closing the show, the pair breaks down what makes the 2025 Audi S3 special.
