Audi RS 3 Sportback TFSI quattro S tronic

2026 Audi RS 3 TFSI quattro S tronic.

The 2026 Audi RS 3 Sportback brings compact dimensions together with the focused engineering and distinctive presentation expected of an RS model. Its Sportback body gives the car a practical five-door profile while retaining the assertive character of Audi Sport design. The petrol TFSI engine produces 294 kW, with power delivered through an automatic S tronic transmission and Audi quattro all-wheel drive.

Performance is supported by a strong 500 Nm torque output and a 0-100 kph time of 3.8 seconds, while the quoted top speed is 250 km/h. Audi drive select allows the vehicle’s driving character to be adjusted, and the sport-focused chassis specification includes progressive steering, sports-version rear shock absorption and an RS sport exhaust system. The combination is intended to make the RS 3 engaging on demanding roads without sacrificing the everyday usability of a compact Sportback.

The cabin combines a distinctly performance-oriented layout with equipment designed for long-distance comfort and daily convenience. Fine Nappa leather upholstery features a honeycomb pattern and RS embossing, complemented by front sport seats, heated front seating and pneumatically adjustable lumbar support with a massage function. The electrically adjustable front seats include memory functionality for the driver, while the flat-top and flat-bottom sport contour steering wheel adds shift paddles and multifunction controls within easy reach.

Technology is a significant part of the specification. Audi virtual cockpit plus includes an additional RS layout, while the head-up display helps keep key information in the driver’s field of vision. The SONOS 3D premium sound system, Audi phone box light and Audi connect navigation and infotainment plus add useful connectivity and entertainment functions. A panoramic glass sunroof and privacy glass bring further flexibility to the cabin environment, with ambient lighting package pro adding a configurable interior finish.

Driver assistance and parking equipment are particularly comprehensive for a compact performance car. The specification includes a multifunction camera, Audi pre sense front, park assist plus and a parking system with 360-degree display. Darkened Matrix LED headlamps feature a dynamic light design and dynamic turn signals, while entry LED lighting with RS projection provides a distinctive welcome. The electrically opening boot lid has gesture control, and the storage and luggage compartment package is aimed at making the Sportback format easier to use.

Exterior detailing reinforces the car’s RS identity. The vehicle is equipped with RS exterior features in Gloss Black, a black exterior styling package plus with anthracite Audi rings and black badging, an S roof spoiler and 19-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels in a 10-cross-spoke silk-matt-grey design. Together with the RS-specific interior and quattro drivetrain, these elements give the RS 3 Sportback a clear performance focus while preserving the versatility of a compact hatchback.
