Audi RS 3 Sportback TFSI quattro S tronic

2026 Audi RS 3 Sportback TFSI quattro S tronic.

The 2026 Audi RS 3 Sportback combines the compact practicality of a five-door Sportback body with the focused hardware and distinctive detailing of Audi Sport. Its petrol powertrain produces 294 kW and 500 Nm, giving this example the performance credentials expected of an RS model while retaining the everyday usability of a hatchback-shaped body.

An automatic S tronic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive are central to the vehicle's character. The drivetrain is designed to make the available performance accessible across a range of conditions, while Audi drive select allows the driver to tailor the vehicle's operating character. Progressive steering, sports-version rear shock absorption and the RS sport exhaust system further reinforce its performance-oriented specification.

The RS 3 Sportback's cabin has a clear driver focus. Fine Nappa leather upholstery features a honeycomb pattern and RS embossing, complemented by front sport seats, heated front seats and pneumatically adjustable lumbar support with massage functionality. The electrically adjustable front seats include memory functionality for the driver, helping make the interior easier to configure for regular use. A flat-top and flat-bottom three-spoke sport contour steering wheel with multifunction controls, shift paddles and control satellites adds to the purposeful layout.

Technology is presented through Audi virtual cockpit plus with an additional RS layout, while the head-up display places key information within the driver's field of view. The SONOS 3D premium sound system and Audi phone box light add to the car's entertainment and connectivity offering. Audi connect navigation and infotainment plus, together with Audi connect emergency call and service with remote and control functions, extend the vehicle's digital capabilities.

Outside, the specification includes darkened Matrix LED headlamps with a dynamic light design and dynamic turn signals, daytime running lights, privacy glass and a panoramic glass sunroof. The black exterior styling package plus adds anthracite Audi rings and black badging. A gloss-carbon roof spoiler, carbon package and 19-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels in a 10-cross-spoke silk-matt-grey design provide further visual distinction.

Practicality has not been overlooked. The electric boot lid includes gesture control, while the storage and luggage compartment package and split-folding rear seat backrest support flexible day-to-day use. Rear USB charging ports, a rear wiper and washer system, and a convenience key without Safelock contribute to the vehicle's functional side. Parking manoeuvres are assisted by park assist plus with a parking system and 360-degree display, supported by a multifunction camera and Audi pre sense front.
