A compact sport sedan that punches above its size
Drive an S3
The Audi S3 is Audi's 328-hp compact sport sedan, built around a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder and standard quattro all-wheel drive. It seats five, so you get sports car pace without leaving friends behind. Comparing options? Browse more Audi rentals in Canada.
On Turo, you book your S3 from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. Each listing shows the model year and trim, so you know exactly which S3 you're getting before you book.

Turbocharged power whenever you want it
The S3 answers your right foot with 328 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, available across a wide 2,100–5,500 rpm band. That's enough to run 0–100 km/h in 4.7 seconds, and a seven-speed S tronic handles every shift along the way.
Standard quattro with a torque splitter
Every S3 comes standard with quattro all-wheel drive, and its torque splitter takes the grip further. The system varies torque between the rear wheels, which keeps the car balanced and agile when you're carving through corners. Audi borrowed the setup from the S3's more extreme sibling — a nice perk for a sedan you can drive every day.
The quattro system also earns its keep when the weather turns. All-wheel drive makes Audis capable winter weather drivers, which matters when a Canadian forecast calls for snow. You get the confidence to keep your plans, whether you're heading to the ski hill or across town.
Seven-speed S tronic with paddle shifters
The S3's seven-speed S tronic is a dual-clutch transmission, and it's quick. Pull the steering-wheel paddles and shifts respond instantly. Switch to manual mode for full control of every gear on a winding road — it's the most engaging way to enjoy the S3.
When you'd rather relax, leave it in automatic. The S tronic shifts on its own like any everyday automatic, so stop-and-go traffic and long highway stretches stay easy. That split personality is the S3's whole appeal — commuter on Monday, back-road carver on Saturday.
Stand out with an S3
The S3 gives you sports car performance in a five-seat compact sedan with a usable 8.3 cu ft trunk. It's a smart pick for weekend escapes, highway trips that rack up kilometres, or a test drive before you buy one of your own. If you're browsing sports car rentals, the S3 brings the thrills and keeps the back seat.
Top S3 features
Signature S design
Beyond the performance, the S3 stands apart with its design details, its sport exhaust, and its lighting.
The S3 looks the part before you turn the key. Signature S details on the front and rear fascia set it apart from everyday compact sedans. A standard Black optic exterior gives it a darker, sharper look from every angle.
Some cars also wear optional 19-inch wheels, which complete the look. If wheels matter to you, check the photos and details on the listing before you book. Local vehicle owners spec their cars differently — so the S3 you pick should match the look you want.
Sport exhaust with quad tips
The S3's sport exhaust magnifies the turbo four's growl, so every press of the throttle sounds as quick as it feels. It's the kind of soundtrack that turns a morning commute into a highlight of your day.
Out back, four black exhaust tips sit framed in a bold rear diffuser — a clear hint of what's under the hood. Pair that sound with paddle shifts in manual mode, and you'll hear exactly why you picked the S3. Roll the windows down on a quiet back road to enjoy it best.
Matrix LED headlights and big brakes
Available Matrix LED headlights precisely illuminate the road ahead, which helps on dark highways, rural routes, and early-morning starts. Up front, 14.1-inch brake discs give you strong, confident stopping power to match the engine. That's reassuring hardware on a car this quick.
Some S3s also come with the available S sport suspension with damper control for even sharper handling. Since these features are available rather than standard, check the listing to confirm which ones your S3 includes before you book.

Top tips and things to know before renting a S3
Get to know your S3
A little homework on model year, fuel, and packing helps you get the most from your S3 rental.
The current S3 generation arrived for the 2022 model year, and a 2025 update added 22 hp plus chassis upgrades from its more extreme sibling.
Want the latest version? Check the model year on the listing, since features also vary by trim.
Prefer a more relaxed ride? Try an Audi A4 rental for a sedan, an Audi Q3 rental for a compact SUV, or an Audi Q7 rental for more room.
S3 driving tips
The S3 requires premium unleaded fuel, so budget for it at the pump. Try the paddles in manual mode on a quiet stretch of road to feel how quickly the S tronic responds. Pack light, too — the 8.3 cu ft trunk suits weekend bags better than bulky luggage.
Before you book, check the distance allowance in kilometres on the listing, especially for longer road trips. Starting your trip in the city? Browse Audi rentals in Toronto.

Some listings offer weekly or monthly discounts, and you can explore long-term car rental if you need an S3 for a month or more.
