The 2024 Audi A3 is a petrol sedan with AWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the 8Y LCI generation. The S3 Sportback is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured S3 Sportback version develops 333 hp and 420 Nm (310 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 4.7 seconds, which is decisively quick for everyday road use. Top speed is listed at 250 km/h (155 mph). Its power output is about 22% above the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 25% quicker than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 7.9 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 45.0 litres (11.9 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 180 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,343 mm (171.0 in) in length, 1,816 mm (71.5 in) in width, and 1,425 mm (56.1 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,636 mm (103.8 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 380 litres (13.4 cu ft), expanding to 1,100 litres (38.8 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,530 kg (3,373 lb). That cargo volume is about 12% below the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of 35 TFSI S line, 40 TFSI e S line, and S3 Sportback. Across the range, the specifications span 150 hp to 333 hp, 4.7 s to 8.4 s, and 67 km, while listed starting prices run from $37,400-$49,900. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby petrol sedan models from the same period, the 2024 Audi A3 is strongest on acceleration and power, while cargo capacity and price stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
