Audi A3 8Y (4th Generation US)

2022–2026 · 8Y · sedan

MQB Evo platform. EA888 Evo4 2.0T in A3 / S3 (310 hp). 2.5T inline-five carries forward in the RS3 8Y (401 hp, US-market torque-vectoring rear differential). 7-speed S tronic DSG. MIB3 infotainment with 10.1-inch screen. The RS3 is the headline — five-cylinder turbo with torque-vectoring AWD is a unique configuration in the segment.

Watch out: Too new for a defining failure pattern. EA888 Evo4 should improve on earlier-gen oil-consumption and chain-tensioner concerns but service history matters. RS3 5-cylinder demands premium oil and intervals — don't stretch them.
