Audi RS 3 Sedan TFSI quattro S tronic

2026 Audi RS 3 Sedan TFSI quattro S tronic.

This 2026 Audi RS 3 Sedan combines the compact dimensions and everyday usability of a sports sedan with the focused character of Audi Sport engineering. Finished in Arkona White, it presents a distinctive performance-oriented profile while retaining the practical four-door layout that makes the RS 3 suitable for regular road use.

Its turbocharged TFSI powertrain produces 294 kW, with 500 Nm of torque available across the stated 2,250–5,600 rpm range. Audi quotes a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h. The figures give this sedan a strong high-performance foundation, while the automatic S tronic transmission is designed to make the available power accessible in both relaxed and more spirited driving.

quattro all-wheel drive is central to the RS 3’s character, providing the drivetrain configuration expected of Audi’s compact performance range. Audi drive select allows the vehicle’s driving responses to be adjusted, and progressive steering is fitted to complement the car’s sporty focus. An RS sport exhaust system adds further mechanical character, while the sports sedan body style keeps the overall package relatively compact and easy to place on the road.

The cabin is trimmed in Fine Nappa leather with a honeycomb pattern and RS embossing, finished in a Black-Black-Express Red combination. Front sport seats are heated and electrically adjustable, with memory function for the driver’s seat, pneumatically adjustable lumbar support and massage functionality. A flat-top and flat-bottom three-spoke sport steering wheel includes multifunction controls, shift paddles and control satellites, putting key functions close to hand.

Technology is substantial without overwhelming the driver. The Audi virtual cockpit plus includes an additional RS layout, while the head-up display projects relevant information into the driver’s field of view. MMI radio plus, Audi connect navigation and infotainment plus, and Audi connect emergency call and service with remote control provide the core connectivity functions. The SONOS 3D premium sound system is also specified, and Audi phone box light adds a dedicated phone-related convenience feature.

Everyday practicality is supported by an electrically opening boot lid with gesture control, a storage and luggage compartment package, rear USB charging ports and a split-folding rear seat backrest. Three rear head restraints are listed, and the panoramic glass sunroof brings additional openness to the passenger compartment. Privacy glass and a black cloth headlining provide contrast within the cabin and exterior presentation.

Visibility and parking assistance are well covered. Darkened Matrix LED headlamps feature dynamic light design and dynamic turn signals, with daytime running lights and an RS projection function included. A 360-degree camera system, park assist plus with parking system and 360-degree display, and Audi pre sense front help support manoeuvring and driver awareness. The specification also includes a multifunction camera, side airbags with head airbag system and front interaction airbag, tyre pressure monitoring and a start-stop system.
