- Audi has released U.S. details for the new 2022 A3 and S3 sedan models.
- The A3 starts at $34,945 and the S3 starts at $45,945, both slight increased compared with their predecessors.
- A 201-hp turbo 2.0-liter four is standard on the A3, while the S3 has standard all-wheel drive and a 306-hp version of the 2.0-liter engine.
The new 2022 Audi A3 will finally be making its way to the U.S. later this year, and we now know more about the redesigned sedan that will arrive on our shores in the fall. It will initially be available in 201-hp A3 and 306-hp S3 forms, with a 400-plus-hp high-performance five-cylinder RS3 model soon to follow.
The 2022 A3 will start at $34,945 for its base Premium trim, which comes standard with front-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. All A3s now have a 48-volt hybrid system and engine start-stop. Better-equipped Premium Plus ($38,245) and Prestige ($42,245) trims are available, and Quattro all-wheel drive is a $2000 option regardless of trim.
Starting at $45,945, the S3 dials up the performance a bit with a version of the same turbo 2.0-liter inline-four that now makes 306 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque. It has all-wheel drive as standard equipment, is lowered by 0.6 inch compared with the A3, and also has upgraded brakes. Its Premium Plus trim costs $48,745 and its Prestige trim costs $52,545.
Audi says 2022 A3 and S3 models will be arriving at U.S. dealerships in the third quarter of this year, and the company has just teased the highest-performance RS3 version of the sedan as well. Look for more to come on Audi’s smallest model in the next few months.
