Vehicle Overview

2026 Audi RS 3 Sportback TFSI quattro S tronic.

The 2026 Audi RS 3 Sportback combines the practicality of a compact five-door performance hatch with the focused character expected of an RS model. Its TFSI quattro S tronic specification pairs petrol power with Audi's quattro all-wheel-drive system and an automatic transmission, creating a configuration suited to both everyday driving and enthusiastic road use.

Performance is central to the RS 3 Sportback's appeal. The engine produces 294 kW, with peak torque of 500 Nm, while the published acceleration figure is 3.8 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h. A 250 km/h top speed and RS sport exhaust system reinforce its performance-oriented identity, while Audi drive select allows the driving character to be adjusted to suit different conditions and preferences.

The cabin balances sporting presentation with long-distance comfort. Fine Nappa leather upholstery features a honeycomb pattern and RS embossing, complemented by front sport seats, heating, electrically adjustable front seats with driver memory and pneumatically adjustable lumbar support with massage functionality. The flat-top and flat-bottom sport steering wheel includes shift paddles and multifunction controls, while the Audi virtual cockpit plus provides an additional RS layout for the driver.

Technology and convenience equipment is extensive. A head-up display, 360-degree cameras, park assist plus and a premium SONOS 3D sound system support daily usability, while the Audi phone box light and Audi connect navigation and infotainment add further connectivity. The electric boot lid with gesture control and storage and luggage compartment package enhance practicality without compromising the vehicle's compact performance-hatch format.

Distinctive exterior details include darkened Matrix LED headlamps with dynamic light design, an S roof spoiler, black mirror housings and RS exterior features in Gloss Black. The specification also includes a panoramic glass sunroof, privacy glass and 19-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels in a 10-cross-spoke silk matt grey design. Inside, black cloth headlining, ambient lighting and RS-specific detailing continue the purposeful theme.
