All-new sports sedan spotted for the first time, ahead of a likely reveal in late 2019 or early 2020.

The next-generation Audi S3 sedan has been snapped for the first time during hot weather testing in Europe, giving us an early look at the design.

As will be the case with the A3 and S3 ‘Sportback’ hatch, the all-new A3/S3 sedan will receive an evolutionary styling update rather than a revolutionary one, with clear links to the current model though adopting the lower and wider stance of Audi’s latest range.

Being the S3, this prototype wears a more aggressive body kit and large alloy wheels with low-profile tyres, along with the signature quad-tipped exhaust of Audi’s ‘S’ models.

Key differences to the current-generation model include more angular designs for the head- and tail-lights, which will also pick up new LED signatures.
