Audi RS 3 Sportback TFSI quattro S tronic

2026 Audi RS 3 TFSI quattro S tronic.

The 2026 Audi RS 3 Sportback combines the compact practicality of a five-door Sportback body with the focused engineering of Audi Sport. Its compact footprint makes it a purposeful choice for drivers who want a performance-oriented car that remains straightforward to use in everyday settings, while the Sportback layout preserves useful rear-seat and luggage access.

At the centre of the package is a 294 kW petrol powertrain, paired with an automatic S tronic transmission and Audi quattro drive. The quoted output of 400 HP is matched by 500 Nm of torque, while the published figures include a 0–100 km/h time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h. These figures position the RS 3 firmly in the high-performance compact class, with the all-wheel-drive system providing the traction expected from the RS badge.

The cabin blends sporting intent with a high level of day-to-day presentation. Fine Nappa leather upholstery features a honeycomb pattern and RS embossing, while front sport seats, heated front seats and electrically adjustable front seats with driver memory support a more tailored driving position. Pneumatically adjustable lumbar support with massage functionality adds a comfort-focused element to the otherwise performance-led interior.

Driver information is presented through Audi virtual cockpit plus with an additional RS layout. A head-up display is also specified, allowing key information to remain within the driver’s field of view. The sport contour steering wheel has a three-spoke design, a flat top and bottom, multifunction controls, shift paddles and control satellites, giving the cockpit a clear motorsport-inspired emphasis without sacrificing everyday usability.

Technology extends to a SONOS 3D premium sound system, Audi phone box light and Audi connect navigation and infotainment plus. A 360-degree camera system, park assist plus and Audi pre sense front add useful assistance in confined spaces and on the road. The electric boot lid includes gesture control, while the storage and luggage compartment package and rear USB charging ports add practical convenience.

Exterior equipment includes a panoramic glass sunroof, privacy glass, darkened Matrix LED headlamps with dynamic light design and dynamic turn signals, and an RS sport exhaust system. The optional specification also lists a carbon package, a gloss-carbon roof spoiler, 19-inch Audi Sport alloy wheels in a ten-cross-spoke silk-matt-grey design, and an RS design package plus in Express Red. A black exterior styling package plus adds anthracite Audi rings and black badging.

The RS 3 Sportback is therefore presented as a compact Audi with a distinctly performance-focused character, supported by quattro traction, a quick-shifting automatic transmission, serious output and a comprehensive mix of comfort, display and assistance technology.
