Pros & Cons
What we love
✓The S3 Saloon Black Edition offers identical performance to the Sportback — 329 hp, 4.7s 0–62, 155 mph — but in a formal 4-door saloon body with a 425 L boot at £47,490. The lower Cd of 0.27 (vs Sportback's 0.29) gives the Saloon a slight aerodynamic advantage and a more executive, understated visual profile. For business users or drivers who want 333 PS AWD performance without the hatchback aesthetic, the S3 Saloon is the definitive choice.
✓CO₂ of 186 g/km is 7 g/km lower than the Sportback Black Edition's 193 g/km, which translates to a lower BIK (benefit-in-kind) tax band — a significant consideration for UK company car drivers paying 20% or 40% income tax. Standard SONOS 3D sound, progressive steering, RS3-derived torque splitter, and the full Black Edition specification are identical to the Sportback version.
Considerations
✕No 360-degree camera standard — Vorsprung only
✕No head-up display standard — Vorsprung only
✕No adaptive cruise assist — Vorsprung only
✕No panoramic roof standard — Vorsprung only
✕No memory seats or Advanced Key — Vorsprung only
✕186 g/km CO₂ still attracts high BIK — lower than Sportback but significant for higher-rate taxpayers
✕Performance exhaust (titanium) £4,125 extra; red calipers £300 extra
