Audi RS3

The Audi RS3, available in both Sportback and Saloon variants, continues to set the benchmark for high-performance compact cars. Combining Audi’s renowned engineering with everyday usability, the RS3 offers drivers an exhilarating driving experience without compromising on comfort or practicality.

 

Visually, the updated RS3 makes a bold statement. The revised front end features a more aggressive, angular grille and sharper air intakes, complemented by striking Matrix LED headlights and signature RS details. New colour options and distinctive design elements, like the gloss black package and 19-inch alloy wheels, further elevate its road presence. Whether you opt for the practicality of the Sportback or the sleek silhouette of the Saloon, the RS3 commands attention at every turn.

 

Under the bonnet lies the iconic 2.5-litre five-cylinder TFSI engine – a hallmark of Audi’s RS family. It produces a potent 400 PS and 500 Nm of torque, launching the RS3 from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.8 seconds. The unmistakable growl of the five-cylinder engine is now enhanced with a newly tuned exhaust system, offering an even more emotive soundtrack. The RS Torque Splitter, introduced in the previous model, returns with even more precise calibration, allowing for agile cornering and controlled drifts on track. Drivers can opt for the RS Dynamic Package, which lifts the top speed to an exhilarating 180 mph.

 

Inside, the RS3 continues to deliver a high-tech, driver-focused cabin. Audi’s 12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit Plus comes as standard, displaying performance-focused readouts including G-force, lap times, and acceleration metrics. The 10.1-inch MMI touch display offers seamless navigation, media, and connectivity, while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto ensure you stay connected on the go. Nappa leather sport seats with RS embossing and contrast stitching bring a premium, motorsport-inspired aesthetic to the interior, with additional personalisation options available through the Carbon Black and Vorsprung trims.

 

Despite its performance credentials, the RS3 remains a practical daily driver. The Sportback offers enhanced boot space and flexibility, while both variants comfortably seat five and feature generous equipment levels. With standard features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and a premium sound system, the RS3 is as refined as it is powerful.

 

Personalisation Options

• Trims: The RS3 is available in multiple trims, including the Carbon Black and Vorsprung editions, each offering unique features and styling cues.

• Packages: Optional packages like the Comfort and Sound Pack add features like a Bang & Olufsen sound system and advanced parking assistance.
