Toronto, ON —\u00a0<\/strong>Gracing the Audi<\/a> stand at this year\u2019s Canadian International Auto Show is the Audi S3. This is the first time we\u2019ll see the smallest \u201cS\u201d car in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power comes from a 300 horsepower turbo four-cylinder motor that also makes 280 lb.-ft. of torque. Dual fuel injection and new variable-valve lift, meanwhile, help increase fuel efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The squared-off trunk and glaring headlights are handsome, and the S3\u2019s profile is squat and athletic. It\u2019s a better look that the Mercedes CLA45 AMG, sure to be the S3\u2019s main competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nice details like the classic S-Line silver side mirrors, chromed grille and sparkly rims complete the styling package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside, you\u2019re greeted with all-new sports seats that come finished in a variety of materials. Buyers will be able to choose from combinations of Nappa leather, Alcantara suede, and cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the all-out sporting experience, however, the optional S-Line one-piece sports seats are the way to go. You can have those in classic diamond-pattern leather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other sporty touches include S-Line badging on the instruments, kick plate, steering wheel and shift lever, and faux-aluminum pedals on S tronic models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An aluminum hood and fenders, plus the use of high-tensile steel for the body help contribute to the S3\u2019s 1,395 kilo curb weight. That\u2019s lighter than both the S3 hatch and Mercedes CLA45 AMG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Audi says the light weight help reduce fuel usage, to the tune of a claimed 6.9L\/100 km for cars equipped with the optional S tronic six-speed auto. A six-speed manual and Quattro AWD come as standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lightweight design should also help handling. Further, the S3 sits 25 millimeters lower than the A3 Sedan on which it\u2019s based, and adjustable magnetic dampers can also be added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2015 Audi S3 will start at $44,000 in Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
