RS Q3 Sportback

Compact SUV Coupé Crossover. The Audi RS Q3 Sportback.

Combined fuel consumption*: 8.9–8.8 l/100 km Combined CO₂ emissions*: 204–202 g/km A deeply rising shoulder line and a flat sloping roof line lead into the characteristic rear of the Audi RS Q3 Sportback. Typical RS-specific elements contribute to the overall athletic design of the compact SUV coupé crossover. Under the hood, the 2.5-litre TFSI engine generates 294 kW (400 hp).

Remarkably different

Performance radiates from every angle of the Audi RS Q3 Sportback¹. At the front, the RS bumper in conjunction with the gloss black Singleframe are immediately recognizable. The particularly flat sloping roof line and the deep shoulder line visually lower the centre of gravity of the body. Moving to the side, its muscular 10 mm flared wheel arches are a real eye-catcher. Its optional 21-inch alloy wheels are unusual for this model class. The rear of the Audi RS Q3 Sportback¹ finishes strong, featuring the RS-specific bumper with rear diffuser and horizontal blades in gloss black plus the RS-specific roof edge spoiler. The low rear window makes the vehicle look particularly wide.

More drive per second

The legendary 2.5-liter TFSI engine (Combined fuel consumption*: 8.9–8.8 l/100 km; Combined CO₂ emissions*: 204–202 g/km) with its five cylinders immediately makes our intentions a reality. And with the standard RS sport suspension, which is 10 mm lower than on the basic model, every curve becomes a sensation. To precisely set the direction, the Audi RS Q3 Sportback¹ comes with RS-specific, adjusted progressive steering. Optional damper control improves driving dynamics and directional stability, and also ensures better handling and comfort. And if we decide on the spur of the moment to stop, the standard RS steel brake system with optional brake calipers in red have plenty of braking power – as do the optional ceramic brakes with brake calipers in gray, red or blue.

Uncompromising quality on the inside, too

The interior of the Audi RS Q3 Sportback¹ is as impressive as the exterior, thanks to dynamic styling that penetrates every detail. From the standard RS sport leather steering wheel, flattened at the bottom with multifunction buttons, and the standard inlays in aluminum race, anthracite – optionally in piano finish, black or carbon – to the optional RS sport seats in fine Nappa leather with RS-specific honeycomb pattern and integrated head restraints. You can also choose to take the sportiness up a notch with the optional RS design packages red or blue, which set additional accents. A highlight prior to every trip is the entry lighting with Audi Sport projection in the doors.

Visibly clear

No matter where they’re taking the Audi RS Q3 Sportback¹, the driver doesn’t miss a thing: Controls such as the standard MMI touch display are oriented toward the driver. The standard Audi virtual cockpit in RS design provides high-resolution information, featuring a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster with RS-specific design and full HD resolution. The optional Audi virtual cockpit plus intensifies the driving experience by offering shift light display and other special RS displays – fully adjustable to the driver’s needs, showing for example speed, revs, acceleration, power output or torque.

More flexibility on the road

Why pin yourself down? Besides breathtaking performance, the Audi RS Q3 Sportback¹ offers superb everyday usability along with room for all sorts of possibilities. Just stay flexible – you never know who you’ll encounter on your everyday adventures. But you have room for up to five people. You can move the rear seats fore-aft as standard 150 mm and tilt the angle in seven stages. And should you need to take along some bulkier equipment, the luggage compartment holds 530 liters – or up to as much as 1,400 liters if you fold down the seats.
