Description:
It always felt strange that the Volkswagen Golf R had more power than the fancier (and slightly pricier) Audi S3. But that's no longer the case. Ingolstadt's sports sedan gets a mid-cycle facelift for the 2025 model year that brings more horsepower and some extra torque to boot.<br/><br/>At the heart of the 2025 Audi S3 is an uprated turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engine making 328 horsepower and an estimated 310 pound-feet of torque. That's an increase of 22 hp and 15 lb-ft, enough to make the S3 stronger than a Golf R (315 hp and 295 lb-ft)—for now. VW's hot hatch is due for a facelift later this year, so there might be some extra power planned there too. In Europe, there are already special editions with 328 hp, matching the new S3.<br/><br/>The RS3's rear torque splitter trickles down to the lesser performance derivative. The technology enables fully variable torque distribution between the rear wheels. In conjunction with the newly added Dynamic Plus mode, the car sends as much torque as possible to the rear axle for a tail-happy experience. Audi doesn't call it a dedicated drift mode but does mention the S3 now has the tendency to oversteer when the sportiest settings are active.<br/><br/>Elsewhere, the 2.0 TFSI engine idles at 1,300 rpm (up by 200 rpm) for better off-the-line performance and the engineers have made the throttle response even more direct. In addition, the gear ratios are slightly shorter than before and the new S3 upshifts later and downshifts earlier to maintain a higher rpm for greater power availability.<br/><br/>It takes 4.4 seconds to hit 60 mph from a standstill, making it a tenth of a second quicker than the 2024 S3. The top speed remains unchanged, at 155 mph. There are now 235/35 Falken performance tires for the 19-inch wheels, along with bigger front brakes with perforated discs and new two-piston calipers. Audi is also fitting an evolution of the S3's electronic stability control system and stiffer bearings for the wishbone suspension to improve handling.<br/><br/>As before, we only get the four-door flavor in the United States, but the five-door Sportback also gets an update in Europe. There are some subtle styling changes to bring the S3 in line with the recently launched 2025 A3. It gets customizable LED daytime running lights by choosing from four designs via the infotainment system. The taillights show a different animation when you lock/unlock the car, and there are four fresh colors: Ascari Blue, District Green, Arkona White, and Progressive Red.<br/><br/>An ambient lighting package will be standard in the United States but that flat-bottomed steering wheel is going to cost you extra. Unlike the Golf R, there are still plenty of physical buttons below the 10.1-inch touchscreen. With the 2025MY, LED contour lighting has been added to the center console and cup holders. In addition, the new fabric panel for the front doors was laser-cut 300 times and is backlit.<br/><br/>Source: https://www.motor1.com/news/715275/2025-audi-s3-debut-specs/

_updated-new-mercedes-benz-sprinter-4x4-van-2025-with-steel-blue-color.webp "Starting from $53,195<br/><br/>2025 Sprinter updates begin with a new Hightech Silver trim and include a remixing of package content and standard and optional features. Tire pressure monitoring is now standard on dual-wheel models, rain-sensing wipers are now standard, and the Comfort Plus package adds a heated steering wheel. The blind spot monitoring system has the ability to warn drivers of a cyclist to their right when making a right turn, and the 360-degree camera system now scans the area immediately in front of the van and warns of a pedestrian or cyclist.<br/><br/>The Sprinter relies solely on diesel power for two reasons (except for the eSprinter EV, reviewed separately). The base engine is a 2.0-liter turbodiesel rated at 168 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The optional high-output engine is rated at 208 hp and 332 pound-feet. Both feed a nine-speed automatic transmission; all-wheel drive is available, but only with the high-output engine. While it's not as powerful as the Ford Transit's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6, which makes 310 horses and 400 pound-feet, or the 6.6-liter V-8 in the GMC Savana, which produces 401 ponies and 464 pound-feet, The Sprinter's diesels deliver dutifully. without any sense of urgency. While no van has razor-sharp handling, the Sprinter's standard load-adaptive stability control and available crosswind assist at least help keep it out of trouble in risky situations.<br/><br/>The 2025 Sprinter can tow up to 7,500 pounds when equipped with the high-output diesel engine, but the standard diesel is only good for 5,000 pounds. The passenger van is also good at towing 5000 pounds, but only in the regular-length, 12-passenger version, not the 15-passenger version. The Sprinter's maximum payload is 6812 pounds, but that requires opting for the Cargo van with the high-output engine in its heavy-duty 4500 chassis; The passenger van was rated at 3307 pounds.<br/><br/>Full-size minivan interiors have always been plain from the factory, but the Sprinter offers some comfort features. The Comfort Package Plus brings a variety of features, including contoured, power-adjustable seats with lumbar support and an overhead control panel, and available leather trim for the standard tilt steering wheel. There is also a swivel seat option for front passengers with a lower seat base, which can assist with entry and exit. Most importantly, the Cargo van offers a maximum of 533 cubic feet of cargo space; The Crew van can swallow a maximum of 371 cubes and the Passenger van can even accommodate 111 cubes. Speaking of which, the 144-inch wheelbase Passenger Van can seat 12 people comfortably, while the 170-inch wheelbase version can accommodate 15 passengers.<br/><br/>Given the focus on utility, Infotainment and connectivity options in full-size vans often lean towards simple functionality rather than strikingly cool presentation.<br/><br/>Source: https://www.caranddriver.com/mercedes-benz/sprinter")
