Configure the SedanThe 2026 Audi RS3 Sportback is $104,800 RRP, which is the recommended retail price, before on-road costs. For that you get a five-seat petrol liftback with a 7-speed S tronic and all four wheels driven. It uses 8.3L/100km on the combined cycle and has 282 litres of boot space with the seats up. The engine makes 294kW and 500Nm, and the claimed 0-100km/h time is 3.8 seconds. The boot is on the small side for a family's luggage, so it suits buyers who want a lot of performance in a compact five-door shape.

Its 2,480 cc turbocharged five-cylinder petrol makes 294 kW from 5,600-7,000 rpm and 500 Nm from 2,250-5,600 rpm through a seven-speed S tronic and fully variable quattro drive with the RS torque splitter, an active rear-axle torque distribution that can drive either rear wheel.

Standard kit includes RS sport suspension with electronically controlled dampers and a 25 mm lower ride height, red RS callipers, staggered 265/30 and 245/35 19-inch Audi Sport wheels, darkened Matrix LED headlights, adaptive cruise assist with traffic jam and emergency assist, 360-degree cameras, fine Nappa RS sport seats with massage and heating, a 12.3-inch RS virtual cockpit, a head-up display and a 15-speaker 680 W Bang & Olufsen system.

Configure the RS 3 SportbackThe 2022 Audi RS 3 Sedan is the four-door version of the 8Y RS 3, sold new in Australia and now used.
