Vehicle Overview

2026 Audi RS 3 Sportback TFSI quattro S tronic.

The 2026 Audi RS 3 Sportback combines compact hatchback practicality with the focused character of Audi Sport. Its Sportback body provides a useful everyday shape, while the RS design treatment gives the car a more purposeful visual presence. The quattro all-wheel-drive system and automatic S tronic transmission are central to the vehicle's performance-oriented specification.

Power comes from a TFSI engine producing 294 kW, with 500 Nm of torque available across the stated rev range. Audi quotes a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h, figures that underline the RS 3's strong performance credentials without compromising the convenience of an automatic transmission for daily driving.

The cabin is trimmed in Fine Nappa leather with a honeycomb pattern and RS embossing. Sport seats, heated front seats and electrically adjustable front seats with memory function for the driver's seat add both support and convenience. A pneumatic lumbar-support system with massage function further broadens the car's appeal beyond outright pace, while the flat-top and flat-bottom sport steering wheel incorporates multifunction controls, shift paddles and control satellites.

Technology is comprehensive. The Audi virtual cockpit plus includes an additional RS layout, while the head-up display helps place key driving information within the driver's line of sight. A SONOS 3D premium sound system, Audi phone box light and Audi connect navigation and infotainment plus support connected travel and in-car entertainment. The panoramic glass sunroof and privacy glass add to the interior environment, and a 360-degree camera system with park assist plus is designed to make low-speed manoeuvring easier.

Exterior equipment includes darkened Matrix LED headlamps with dynamic light design and dynamic turn signals, an RS sport exhaust system, an S roof spoiler and gloss-black RS detailing. The car is fitted with matt-black five-Y-spoke wheels measuring 19 inches, with 265/30 and 245/35 R19 tyres. Audi drive select allows the vehicle's responses to be adjusted to suit different driving situations, while progressive steering and sports-oriented suspension hardware complement the quattro drivetrain.
