Used 2020 Audi S3 Sedan Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2020 Audi S3 is offered in two trim levels: Premium and Premium Plus. They are pretty similarly equipped but, as the name suggests, the Premium Plus offers more standard features and equipment. All S3s have a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (288 hp, 280 lb-ft) that's shared with other Audi models. That power is put to the ground through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive.
Which S3 trim does Edmunds recommend?
Of the two available trims, we suggest going with the top-level Premium Plus. It's marginally more expensive than the base Premium model but includes more standard equipment such as an upgraded audio system and more USB ports. It also opens up more available options compared to the Premium.
