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 footprint of a five-door performance hatch with the hardware and presence of Audi Sport’s RS range. Its TFSI quattro S tronic specification pairs a petrol engine producing 294 kW, or 400 HP, with quattro all-wheel drive and an automatic S tronic transmission. That combination gives the RS 3 a broad range of ability, from composed everyday driving to rapid acceleration when the road opens up.

Performance is central to the car’s character. Audi lists a 0–100 km/h time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h, while maximum torque is rated at 500 Nm between 2,250 and 5,600 rpm. Audi drive select allows the vehicle’s driving responses to be tailored, and the RS sport exhaust system reinforces its performance-focused specification. Progressive steering and sports-oriented rear shock absorption support the same dynamic brief without changing the practical advantages of the Sportback body.

The cabin has a distinctly RS-oriented presentation, with Fine Nappa leather upholstery featuring a honeycomb pattern and RS embossing. Sport front seats, heated front seats and electrically adjustable front seats with driver memory add everyday comfort, while pneumatic lumbar adjustment with massage provides further support on longer journeys. A three-spoke flat-top and flat-bottom sport contour steering wheel includes multifunction controls, shift paddles and control satellites for a more purposeful driving position.

Technology is particularly comprehensive for a compact performance model. Audi virtual cockpit plus includes an additional RS layout, while the head-up display places key driving information in the driver’s view. The MMI system is supported by Audi connect navigation and infotainment plus, and the SONOS 3D premium sound system adds a higher-quality audio experience. Audi phone box light supports convenient phone integration, while ambient lighting package pro contributes to the interior atmosphere.

Practicality and visibility have also been considered. The electric boot lid offers gesture control, and the storage and luggage compartment package helps keep the cabin organised. A panoramic glass sunroof brings additional light into the interior, with privacy glass providing a darker finish to the rear windows. The 360-degree camera system, park assist plus and parking system with 360-degree display are useful in tighter spaces, while Audi pre sense front and the multifunction camera add further driver-assistance capability.

Exterior details underline the RS 3’s performance intent. The car is equipped with RS exterior features in Gloss Black, a black exterior styling package plus and darkened Matrix LED headlamps with dynamic light design and dynamic turn signals. Matt Black five-Y-spoke wheels measure 19 inches and are fitted with 265/30 and 245/35 R19 tyres. Inside, RS door sill trims, black cloth headlining and vanadium-look interior trims continue the focused design theme.
