Audi RS 3 Sportback TFSI quattro S tronic

The 2026 Audi RS 3 Sportback brings genuine performance-car pace to a compact five-door format. Its 2.5-litre engine is not specified in the supplied vehicle data, but the published outputs are clear: 294 kW, equivalent to 400 HP, and 500 Nm of torque. With a stated 0–100 km/h time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h, this is a vehicle developed for drivers who value rapid acceleration and strong long-distance capability without moving into a larger performance sedan or SUV.

Power is delivered through an automatic S tronic transmission and Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive system. That combination gives the RS 3 Sportback a distinctly focused specification, while the compact Sportback body keeps the vehicle practical for everyday use. The rear seat backrest is split-folding, and the standard equipment list includes a luggage and storage package, an electrically opening boot lid with gesture control, and three rear head restraints. These details make the car more adaptable than its performance credentials alone might suggest.

The cabin combines a clearly sporting theme with premium materials. Fine Nappa leather upholstery features a honeycomb pattern and RS embossing, while the front sport seats are heated and electrically adjustable, with memory function for the driver. Pneumatically adjustable lumbar support with massage is also fitted to the front seats. A three-spoke sport contour steering wheel with a flat top and bottom, multifunction controls, shift paddles and control satellites provides a purposeful focal point for the driver, supported by Audi virtual cockpit plus with an additional RS layout.

Technology is extensive. The vehicle includes a head-up display, SONOS 3D premium sound, Audi phone box light, MMI radio plus and Audi connect navigation and infotainment plus. Audi connect emergency call and service with remote control, together with a legal emergency call function, adds further connected support. A 360-degree camera system and park assist plus with a parking system and 360-degree display are included, helping reduce the effort involved in manoeuvring in confined spaces.

Exterior equipment gives the RS 3 Sportback a more assertive appearance. Standard specification includes RS exterior features in Gloss Black, high-gloss black exterior mirror housings, an S roof spoiler, RS door sill trims and entry LED lighting with RS projection. The vehicle is also equipped with darkened Matrix LED headlamps featuring a dynamic light design and dynamic turn signals, along with privacy glass. A panoramic glass sunroof adds openness to the cabin, while the black exterior styling package plus includes anthracite Audi rings and black badging.

Chassis-related equipment includes progressive steering, Audi drive select, sports-version rear shock absorption and an RS sport exhaust system. The listed 19-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels use a 10-cross-spoke design with a black metallic, gloss-turned finish, paired with 265/30 and 245/35 R19 tyres. Safety and assistance equipment includes Audi pre sense front, a multifunction camera, front side airbags with head airbag protection and an interaction airbag, as well as tyre-pressure monitoring.
