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.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data have been determind according to the measurement procedures prescribed by law. Since 1st September 2017, certain new vehicles are already being type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Starting on September 1st 2018, the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) will be replaced by the WLTP in stages. Owing to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those measured according to the NEDC. Therefore, the usage of CO2 emission values measured according to WLTP for vehicle taxation from 1st September 2018 on can cause changes in this regard as well. For further information on the differences between the WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.audi.de/wltp.




We are currently still required by law to state the NEDC figures. In the case of new vehicles which have been type-approved according to the WLTP, the NEDC figures are derived from the WLTP data. It is possible to specify the WLTP figures voluntarily in addition until such times as this is required by law. In cases where the NEDC figures are specified as value ranges, these do not refer to a particular individual vehicle and do not constitute part of the sales offering. They are intended exclusively as a means of comparison between different vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (e.g. add-on parts, different tyre formats, etc.) may change the relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, and, in conjunction with weather and traffic conditions and individual driving style, may affect fuel consumption, electrical power consumption, CO2 emissions and the performance figures for the vehicle. Further information on official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO₂ emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the guide “Information on the fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions and electricity consumption of new cars”, which is available free of charge at all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Strasse 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen, Germany (www.dat.de).
