The Audi S3 is a grown-up hot hatch, lined in nappa leather and featuring all the latest technology but in a mature package you’d be happy to pick your boss up in. Available as a popular S3 sedan or the S3 Sportback hatch, the 2022 S3 uses the MQB Evo platform and now makes more power from the 2.0T engine - up to 228kW (305 hp) in Australia. Plus, you get an exhaust that crackles and a seven-speed dual-clutch auto.

In today’s episode, Chasing Cars editor Tom Baker conducts an independent in-depth review of the 2022 Audi S3 range. The S3 competes against its cousin, the Volkswagen Golf R, plus the AMG A35 and the BMW M135i. The Audi starts at $70K.

Later, the RS3 will arrive – plus the regular A3 range too!
