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 character of Audi Sport. Its 294 kW output and 500 Nm of torque give this performance hatchback serious pace, while the quattro all-wheel-drive system is designed to provide confident traction across changing road conditions. The listed automatic transmission is paired with the S tronic drivetrain specification, keeping the car equally suited to composed everyday driving and more engaging stretches of road.

Performance is central to the RS 3 Sportback’s appeal. Audi lists a 0–100 km/h time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h, figures that place it firmly among the fastest cars in its class. Audi drive select allows the driving character to be adjusted to suit the circumstances, while progressive steering and sports-oriented rear shock absorption support the car’s dynamic brief. The RS sport exhaust system adds further mechanical character, and the sport contour steering wheel brings shift paddles and multifunction controls directly to the driver.

The cabin has a distinctly performance-focused presentation without sacrificing day-to-day usability. Fine Nappa leather upholstery features a honeycomb pattern and RS embossing, complemented by front sport seats, heated front seats and electrically adjustable front seating with memory for the driver. Pneumatically adjustable lumbar support with a massage function adds a more relaxed dimension to longer journeys. The flat-top-and-bottom steering wheel and carbon atlas interior inlays reinforce the RS theme, while the black cloth headlining and ambient lighting package pro give the cabin a considered, driver-oriented atmosphere.

Technology is extensive. Audi virtual cockpit plus includes an additional RS layout, providing a configurable display suited to the car’s performance focus. A head-up display can place key information within the driver’s sightline, while the SONOS 3D premium sound system, Audi phone box light and MMI radio plus address entertainment and connectivity needs. Audi connect navigation and infotainment plus, together with Audi connect emergency call and service with remote and control functions, adds further digital capability.

Practical convenience is also well represented. The electric boot lid includes gesture control, the storage and luggage compartment package helps organise the interior, and the split-folding rear seat backrest allows the cargo area to be adapted when required. A panoramic glass sunroof brings additional light into the cabin, with privacy glass providing a darker finish to the rear windows. The convenience key simplifies access, while rear USB charging ports support passengers on the move.

Driver assistance and visibility equipment includes 360-degree cameras, park assist plus with a parking system and 360-degree display, Audi pre sense front, a multifunction camera and a head-up display. Darkened Matrix LED headlamps feature a dynamic light design and dynamic turn signals, supported by LED entry lighting with RS projection and a light and rain sensor. The exterior specification is sharpened by the RS design package plus, Express Red details, a gloss-carbon roof spoiler, a Carbon Package, black exterior styling elements and 19-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels in a 10-cross-spoke silk-matt grey design.

With its compact footprint, five-door layout, premium interior and substantial performance capability, this RS 3 Sportback presents a balanced interpretation of the modern high-performance hatchback. It is configured for immediate availability in Melbourne and is listed with a 2026 model year.
