Generous space concept

The new S3 Sportback measures 4.35 meters (14.3 ft) in length and 1.82 meters (6.0 ft) in width (without mirrors), just over three centimeters (1.2 in) more than its predecessor model in each case. The S3 Sedan has the same width and is 4.50 meters (14.8 ft) long – four centimeters (1.6 in) more than the first generation.

Both body variants increased in height as well. In terms of wheelbase they are identical (2.63 m (8.6 ft)). The new dimensions mean more elbow room for front and rear passengers alike. The slightly lower seat position for the driver and the front-seat passenger underlines the sporty character of both models and offers more headroom.

The luggage compartment of the Sportback and the Sedan has a capacity of 325 liters (11.5 cu ft). With the five-door car the volume is up to 1,145 liters (40.4 cu ft) depending on whether the rear seat backs are upright or folded down. In addition the loading floor of the S3 Sportback can be inserted at different heights. On request, Audi can install an electric tailgate that can also be opened and closed with a foot motion.
