The 2026 Audi RS3 Sportback is a five-seat performance hatchback that suits drivers wanting hot-hatch thrills with practical everyday usability, offering 294kW and 500Nm from its 2.5-litre petrol engine paired to AWD and an 7-speed DSG. Its standout strength is genuine track-capable performance wrapped in a practical body, backed by a 5-year warranty. One consideration is fuel consumption at 8.3L/100km, which combined with annual running costs around $3757 means this isn't the most economical choice for budget-conscious buyers.

The 2022 Audi RS 3 Sedan is the four-door version of the 8Y RS 3, sold new in Australia and now used. It shares the 2,480 cc turbocharged five-cylinder petrol at 294 kW and 500 Nm, the seven-speed S tronic and the fully variable quattro drive with RS torque splitter, for the same quoted 3.8 seconds to 100 km/h and 250 km/h limiter. Audi lists it slightly heavier and slightly more efficient than the Sportback: 1,575 kg unladen against 1,570, and 8.2 L/100km with 188 g/km CO2 against 8.3 and 190, both on the ADR 81/02 combined cycle on 19-inch wheels. Equipment matches the Sportback bar the boot lid, which opens electrically with gesture control but does not close electrically. That means RS sport suspension with electronically controlled dampers, red RS callipers, darkened Matrix LED headlights, adaptive cruise assist, 360-degree cameras, heated and massaging fine Nappa RS sport seats, a 12.3-inch RS virtual cockpit, a head-up display and a 15-speaker 680 W Bang & Olufsen system.
