2024 Audi S3: What's New, Specs & Features

The 2024 Audi S3 gets only a light update, led by Carbon Atlas interior trim becoming standard across the lineup. Its engine, transmission, all-wheel drive, safety technology, and three-trim lineup carry over.
About the 2024 Audi S3
3rd gen (8Y, launched for 2022 in the U.S.), third year and last pre-refresh model year before the 2025 freshening.
Audi positions the S3 as the everyday performance version of its smallest sedan: quicker and more aggressive than the A3, but easier to live with than the RS 3. Its core appeal is compact size, all-weather traction from quattro all-wheel drive, and a strong turbo engine, paired with a premium cabin and real daily-driver comfort. For most buyers, it is a small luxury sport sedan that balances speed, city-friendly size, and year-round usability better than rougher or less upscale rivals.
Every 2024 S3 pairs a 306-hp turbo four-cylinder engine with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic and quattro all-wheel drive. Premium focuses on the core performance package, Premium Plus adds adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring, and Prestige brings navigation, upgraded audio, a head-up display, and Matrix-design LED headlights.
