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 expected of an RS performance model. Its Sportback body provides a useful everyday format, while the quattro all-wheel-drive system and automatic S tronic transmission give the vehicle a purposeful technical foundation.

Power comes from a petrol TFSI engine producing 294 kW, with 500 Nm of torque available across a broad rev range. Audi quotes a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h, making this a genuinely rapid car without abandoning the convenience of a five-door-style body. The RS sport exhaust system and Audi drive select further underline its performance-oriented positioning, allowing the driving character to be adjusted to suit different conditions.

The cabin blends supportive RS-focused seating with a high level of equipment. Fine Nappa leather upholstery features a honeycomb pattern and RS embossing, while electrically adjustable front seats with driver memory, heating and massage-enabled pneumatic lumbar support add comfort on longer journeys. A flat-top and flat-bottom sport contour steering wheel with shift paddles keeps the driver interface suitably focused.

Technology is another strength. The Audi virtual cockpit plus incorporates an additional RS layout, complemented by a head-up display, MMI radio plus and Audi connect navigation and infotainment. A SONOS 3D premium sound system, Audi phone box light and ambient lighting package pro add refinement, while the panoramic glass sunroof and privacy glass bring extra openness and separation to the interior.

Practical and assistance features include an electrically operated boot lid with gesture control, a storage and luggage compartment package, rear USB charging ports and a split-folding rear seatback. Parking is supported by park assist plus with a 360-degree display, while Audi pre sense front, a multifunction camera and a tyre pressure monitoring system contribute to the vehicle's active safety and convenience equipment.
