Pros & Cons

What we love
✓The S3 Sportback Black Edition is the entry point to the performance S3 range, and at £46,925 it is already comprehensively equipped — 333 PS (329 hp) 2.0 TFSI with the RS3-derived electronic torque splitter for rear torque vectoring, 4.7s 0–62 mph, 155 mph (limited), SONOS 3D premium sound standard, progressive steering, S sport suspension, gloss-black S brake calipers, flat-bottom S steering wheel with paddles, Black Dinamica sport seats, and 19" rotor alloys.
✓The RS3-derived torque splitter is the S3's secret weapon: it can send up to 100% of rear axle torque to a single rear wheel, enabling a level of cornering agility that goes far beyond what the S3's displacement implies. Back-to-back with the A3 35 TFSI, the S3 Black Edition feels like a different class of car — urgent, precise, and deeply satisfying to drive fast.
