Audi RS 3 Sportback TFSI quattro S tronic

2026 Audi RS 3 Sportback TFSI quattro S tronic.

This 2026 Audi RS 3 Sportback combines compact hatchback practicality with the focused character expected of an RS model. With just 2,076 km, it presents as a lightly used example of Audi's performance-oriented five-door Sportback, finished in Mythos Black Metallic and equipped with quattro all-wheel drive and an automatic S tronic transmission.

The powertrain produces 294 kW (400 HP), with 500 Nm of torque available from 2,250 to 5,600 rpm. Audi quotes 0–100 km/h acceleration in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h, giving the RS 3 the ability to deliver serious pace while retaining the compact dimensions and everyday usability of a Sportback. Audi drive select allows the driving character to be adjusted, while progressive steering, sports-version rear shock absorption and the quattro system support a composed, responsive feel.

Its exterior specification gives the car a purposeful presence without relying on excessive ornamentation. The black styling theme includes gloss-black RS exterior features, a black exterior styling package plus with anthracite Audi rings and black badging, and 19-inch matt-black five-Y-spoke wheels. A panoramic glass sunroof adds light to the cabin, while privacy glass and darkened Matrix LED headlamps contribute both visual distinction and useful day-to-day functionality. The RS roof spoiler and RS-specific detailing reinforce its performance identity.

Inside, the cabin is trimmed in Fine Nappa leather with a honeycomb pattern and RS embossing. The front sport seats are electrically adjustable, with memory function for the driver's seat, heating and pneumatically adjustable lumbar support with massage functionality. A flat-top and flat-bottom three-spoke sport contour steering wheel includes multifunction controls, shift paddles and control satellites, keeping key driving functions close at hand. Black cloth headlining, RS door-sill trims and ambient lighting package pro add further definition to the interior.

The technology specification is particularly comprehensive. Audi virtual cockpit plus includes an additional RS layout, while the head-up display projects relevant information into the driver's view. A SONOS 3D premium sound system and Audi phone box light support a more connected, comfortable cabin environment. Parking assistance is enhanced by 360-degree cameras and park assist plus, while Audi pre sense front and a multifunction camera provide additional driver-assistance capability.

Practical touches remain central to the Sportback format. The electric boot lid has gesture control, and the storage and luggage compartment package is complemented by split-folding rear seatbacks. Rear USB charging ports, Audi connect navigation and infotainment plus, and Audi connect emergency call and service with remote and control functions extend the vehicle's usefulness beyond performance driving.
