Audi RS 3 Sportback TFSI quattro S tronic

2026 Audi RS 3 Sportback TFSI quattro S tronic.

The 2026 Audi RS 3 Sportback brings compact dimensions together with the focused hardware and distinctive presentation expected of an RS model. Its Sportback body style gives the car a practical five-door profile, while the TFSI quattro S tronic specification combines petrol power with Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive system and an automatic transmission. The result is a performance-oriented hatchback with everyday usability built into its design.

Output is rated at 294 kW, equivalent to 400 HP, with 500 Nm of torque available between 2,250 and 5,600 rpm. The published figures include a 0-100 km/h time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h. These numbers place the RS 3 firmly in the high-performance category, while the quattro drivetrain is designed to provide assured traction when the available power is put to the road. Audi drive select allows the driver to adjust the car’s driving character, and progressive steering, sports-version rear shock absorption and an RS sport exhaust system reinforce its dynamic intent.

The exterior specification gives this RS 3 a purposeful appearance. Daytona Grey Pearl Effect paint is paired with RS exterior features in Gloss Black, a black exterior styling package, black mirror housings and an S roof spoiler. The car is fitted with 19-inch matt-black five-Y-spoke wheels, using 265/30 and 245/35 R19 tyres. Darkened Matrix LED headlamps incorporate a dynamic light design and dynamic turn signals, while LED entry lighting with RS projection adds a more distinctive welcome. A panoramic glass sunroof and privacy glass provide further visual definition without changing the practical Sportback layout.

Inside, the cabin combines supportive seating with a specification focused on long-distance comfort and driver information. Fine Nappa leather upholstery features a honeycomb pattern and RS embossing, complemented by front sport seats, heated front seats and electrically adjustable front seats with memory function for the driver. Pneumatically adjustable lumbar support with massage function adds further adjustment for the front occupants. The flat-top and flat-bottom three-spoke sport contour steering wheel includes multifunction controls, shift paddles and control satellites, while the Audi virtual cockpit plus provides an additional RS layout.
