Who are you???

@@reaganjagi ..can't tell you, but I know who YOU are !

Hopefully NOT like the facelift S3! Terrible design changes and check out the price, nudging £60k with options, for an S3. Audi have lost the plot.

It's been integrated since 2020 actually

It was stock, the rounded wheel is for touch sensitive functions needed for steering automation on highway. Same on this one

I experienced it as a prototype already, it looks awesome. Alot of upgrades in the interior. Also optional with TTRS wheel

​@madagascar9407 that's great to hear the interior of the outgoing RS3 is so disappointing feels like a regular A3 with no special touches

This s3 has more bhp than that mate

This is the pre facelift 8v specs

The 8y has 300hp. The facelift has around 330hp. Where did you copy and paste this from

An S3 costing £60k with options. LOL. Also, if you're in the UK, most options aren't available, e.g. the interior styling pack and sports exhaust. I really hope they don't mess up the facelift RS3, but it looks like that'll be £70k and have that horrible front end as well.

Yes

ORGCars sleep in

I work for an Audi dealership, this looks very similar to ultra blue. I could be wrong and it's just the Vid, but ascari isn't that shiny

@@supershooterkj7840 I don't see Ultra blue available in S3 configurator. Maybe it's Sepang blue ?

Looks like sepangblue

I own a new RS3, interior has many cheap plastics and my car has rattles in the dash that needed to be fixed. Not to mention piano black surfaces that look an utter mess if you so much as breath on them. Also, bugs in the drive mode software, that Audi can't seem to fix. Lots of cost cutting in the A3 and a lot of un-Audi like things appearing. Try owning one, rather than making false comments on here after watching a video.

@@luciussander8217 got a brother with an s3 and has no problems interior wise or exterior wise. Must just be a rare case for you then.

I'd rather own an Audi than a VW. Not all about the car, brand, dealerships, etc... Audi always on top.

You can change that if you choose the black exterior version.

@@frankh.2459 still prefer the pre facelift grille in general

What material would you replace the plastics with? Genuine question. Cars have had hard plastics ever since I can remember.

@@Jaroslav. Soft plastics, as it should be for a car on this price level. While you're correct in your statement, as a previous Audi owner I can tell you they've cheapened out considerably in these new gen A3's, regardless of their version (yeah, I've experienced them in person).

@@ROMANERUIZA I drove the pre-facelift S3 and the amount of plastic was shocking, that’s absolutely true. The interior was no better than my ‘21 A1. I found some of the plastics in A6 too, but a good portion of materials was brushed aluminium and that was nice. The current gen A4 is really nice inside, but has a fair share of the plastic too. It made me wonder, are or were interiors always this way but the manufacturers are just not trying to hide it anymore? I really don’t know what I would replace the plastics with, as nicer materials can make the car heavier. But yeah, S3 interior is nowhere near the pricetag. While the new one looks nice on video, I’d need to feel it in person.

@@Jaroslav. ah, see? You've been there as well. I've owned 2008 & 2010 A3's, a 2017 A1 and 2019 TTRS, all brand new, and was in the market for a 8Y S3 sedan/saloon from its release date to have it as daily, but man, once I got to experience those nasty hard plastics on the doors panels/cards in person I was out; not even the "entry level" A1 interiors felt nor looked as cheap, considering it was way less expensive. And from this video, seems like they did not improve that on the FL one. Even current A4's and A5's have better interiors quality as they still use the same platform as they've in past years, however, that makes them quite outdated compared to their competitors, let alone other in-house models. It's quite disappointing how Audi expect their customers to pay "top notch" prices for an overall downgraded product (it has good technical improvements, but that does not justify the downgrade in the build and materials).

This is just the S versionso I think the Rs version will come with better materials

Shut up, little boy! You know absolutely NOTHING about car interiors, dude! Audi makes the finest interiors of all compact vehicles for sure!

theres loads of options

The wheels are not so geeat, i would choose the black ones on 18'.

Shut up, little boy!

You can choose that in black

I think it's amazing

It's better than what BMW is doing

Wtf are u smoking? This is sick looking car.

It’s far less aggressive looking than the pre facelift, terrible

I think it’s way better looking than the previous versions.
