AutoExec Summary
Audi has unveiled the 2025 RS3 with several visual and chassis upgrades for the hyper hatch and sedan. It still packs the 294kW/500Nm as the pre-facelift RS3 model, thanks to the legendary 2.5-litre TFSI engine. This could be the last outing for Audi’s venerable five-cylinder power plant. For 2025, the RS3 gains a sportier look with new front splitter, chequered front and rear headlight signatures, redesigned side air intakes, and carbon detailing. Inside, RS sport bucket seats are clad in Nappa leather, and a new-look, flat bottom steering wheel swaps out physical buttons for haptic controls. The RS3 comes standard with new C-rated Pirelli tyres and can be upgraded to the more performance-oriented Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R. Deliveries for the RS3 will commence across Europe from next month, while Australia is expected to wait a little longer. Pricing for the RS3 will start in Germany at €66,000 (A$108,741), with the sedan being €2000 (A$3295) dearer.
