Audi RS 3 Sportback TFSI quattro S tronic

2026 Audi RS 3 TFSI quattro S tronic.

The 2026 Audi RS 3 Sportback combines compact hatchback practicality with the focused engineering of Audi Sport. Its five-door Sportback body provides a useful everyday shape, while the RS treatment gives the car a distinctly purposeful character. The quattro all-wheel-drive system is paired with an automatic S tronic transmission, creating a drivetrain designed to make the available performance accessible across a wide range of conditions.

At the centre of the package is a petrol engine producing 294 kW, equivalent to 400 HP, with 500 Nm of torque. The published figures include 0–100 km/h acceleration in 3.8 seconds and a 250 km/h top speed. These numbers place the RS 3 firmly in high-performance territory, yet the automatic transmission and drive select system allow the car's responses to be tailored to the situation. Audi drive select provides a way to adjust the vehicle's character, while progressive steering and the RS sports suspension hardware support a more engaged driving experience.

The RS 3's cabin is centred around the driver. Standard equipment includes an Audi virtual cockpit plus with an additional RS layout, keeping performance-related information prominent in the instrument display. The flat-top and flat-bottom sport contour steering wheel includes multifunction controls, shift paddles and control satellites, giving the driver direct access to key functions without taking attention away from the road. Fine Nappa leather upholstery with a honeycomb pattern and RS embossing adds a distinctive motorsport-inspired finish to the interior, complemented by black cloth headlining and vanadium-look interior trims.

Comfort has not been overlooked. The front sport seats are heated and electrically adjustable, with memory functionality for the driver's seat. Pneumatically adjustable lumbar support with a massage function adds further support on longer journeys. A panoramic glass sunroof brings additional light into the cabin, while privacy glass, ambient lighting and entry LED lighting with RS projection provide a more considered atmosphere after dark. The split-folding rear seatback helps preserve the Sportback's practical side, and the storage and luggage compartment package adds useful flexibility.

Technology is extensive for a performance hatchback. A SONOS 3D premium sound system, Audi phone box light, MMI radio plus and Audi connect navigation and infotainment plus support connected daily driving. The head-up display places relevant information within the driver's view. A 360-degree camera system, park assist plus and Audi pre sense front add assistance when manoeuvring or dealing with traffic, while the multifunction camera supports the vehicle's assistance systems.

Exterior details reinforce the RS 3's intent without disguising its compact proportions. The car features RS exterior elements in Gloss Black, a black exterior styling package plus, darkened Matrix LED headlamps with dynamic lighting and turn signals, an S roof spoiler and high-gloss black mirror housings. The optional 19-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels in a 10-cross-spoke design are finished in silk matt grey, with 265/30 and 245/35 R19 tyres. An RS sport exhaust system completes the performance-focused specification.
