Audi RS 3 Sportback TFSI quattro S tronic

2026 Audi RS 3 RS 3.

The 2026 Audi RS 3 Sportback combines the compact practicality of a five-door Sportback body with the focused character of Audi Sport engineering. Its TFSI petrol powertrain produces 294 kW (400 HP) and 500 Nm, with the quattro all-wheel-drive system providing the traction to make that output usable across a wide range of road conditions. The automatic S tronic transmission complements the engine with quick, effortless gear changes, while Audi drive select allows the vehicle’s driving character to be adjusted to suit the moment.

Performance is central to the RS 3’s appeal. Audi lists a 0-100 km/h time of 3.8 seconds and a 250 km/h top speed, figures that place this Sportback firmly in the high-performance category. The RS sport exhaust system, progressive steering and sports-oriented suspension hardware reinforce that intent without removing the everyday flexibility associated with the hatchback format. The matte-black 19-inch five-Y-spoke wheels, RS exterior detailing and black styling elements give the car a purposeful appearance, while the panoramic glass sunroof adds light to the cabin.

Inside, the emphasis is on both support and presentation. Front sport seats are trimmed in Fine Nappa leather with a honeycomb pattern and RS embossing, and are heated for added comfort. The front seats also feature electric adjustment with driver memory, pneumatic lumbar support and massage functionality. A flat-top and flat-bottom sport contour steering wheel includes multifunction controls, shift paddles and control satellites, keeping key functions within easy reach while preserving the car’s performance-focused feel.

The cabin’s technology is designed to support both spirited driving and daily use. Audi virtual cockpit plus includes an additional RS layout, while the head-up display can project relevant information into the driver’s field of view. A SONOS 3D premium sound system, Audi phone box light and Audi connect navigation and infotainment plus provide useful connectivity and entertainment functions. Ambient Lighting package pro, carbon atlas interior inlays and black cloth headlining add further definition to the interior environment.

Practical equipment remains an important part of the Sportback concept. The electric boot lid includes gesture control, and the storage and luggage compartment package adds flexibility for carrying everyday items. Split-folding rear seatbacks extend that versatility when required. Parking assistance is supported by a 360-degree camera display and park assist plus, while Audi pre sense front, a multifunction camera, side airbags and a head airbag system contribute to the vehicle’s comprehensive safety specification.
