A Small Sedan With Big Presence

A bold look is carried by the RS 3, and it is not shy about it. Pronounced front and rear bumpers are used, with enlarged air inlets that give it a serious face. A functional diffuser is added too, with a red reflector sitting at the centre. Flared fenders are built in, so the stance looks wide and planted. Iconic RS oval tailpipes are finished at the back, so the car looks like it sounds.

The Cabin That Feels Like It Was Built Around You

Inside, a driver first feeling is created right away. The console and dash are shaped with a sculpted look, so everything feels focused. A 3 spoke flat top and flat bottom steering wheel is used, and shift paddles are placed right where your fingers land. Little satellite buttons are added too, so key controls can be reached without hunting around. If you want more colour and personality, RS design packages can be selected in Express Red or Micrommata Green, with accents like colour bordered seat belts and RS details in Dinamica.

Lighting That Helps You See More at Night

Night driving is made easier when good lighting is used, and the RS 3 offers available Matrix LED headlights. The road ahead is lit with precision, which feels great on darker stretches outside the city. When oncoming traffic is detected, the high beam pattern is adjusted by individual LED segments. Glare is reduced for other drivers, but light is still kept where it helps you. A personalised daytime running light signature can also be chosen, so the RS 3 can feel a little more like yours.

 

 

Power That Feels Instant and Sounds Special

A 2.5 litre five cylinder turbo engine is used, and 394 horsepower is produced. Torque is rated at 369 lb ft, so strong pull is delivered when you ask for it. Part of the fun is the sound, and it is shaped by the engine’s unique firing order. quattro all wheel drive is standard, so traction is kept steady when pavement gets messy. An RS torque splitter is also used to send available power to individual rear wheels when needed, and two RS drive modes can be selected to match your mood.

 

Handling That Stays Calm on Ottawa Roads

Ottawa roads can change fast, especially when winter hits and potholes show up. The RS sport suspension is standard, and adaptive damper control is used to keep the balance between ride comfort and tight handling. It is the kind of setup that can feel smooth on daily errands and still feel sharp on an open on ramp. A drive can feel more controlled, even when the road surface changes. And if a weekend escape to Gatineau Park is planned, the grip and stability can be appreciated even more.

The Packages That Turn It Up

If you want the most track focused setup, the available Dynamic plus package is where the biggest changes are found. A higher top track speed of 290 km/h is included, along with ceramic front brakes with red calipers. High performance summer tires are added, and a carbon engine cover is included as well. New for 2026, a direct tire pressure monitoring system is added with this package, so an extra layer of confidence can be felt on the road. Another available choice is the Carbon optic plus package, which adds 19 inch wheels in a dark gray matte finish, plus carbon details like a rear spoiler and mirror housings.

Screens, Sound, and Daily Tech That Feels Easy

The RS 3 is filled with tech, but it is meant to be used, not just shown. Audi virtual cockpit plus is included with a 12.3 inch HD display, and RS specific views are available, including an RS runway style design that shows power and torque percentages. An available head up display can project key info in your line of sight, and RS specific data like shift indicators and oil temperature can be shown. The 680 watt Sonos sound system is available with 15 speakers and a 16 channel amplifier, so music can feel rich even in stop and go traffic. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported, and a wireless phone charging pad is included so cords can be avoided.

Driver Assistance That Helps in Real Life

Support features are built in to make daily driving feel less stressful. Lane departure warning can alert you if drifting starts. Adaptive cruise control with Stop and Go is standard, and it can help keep a set following distance and even bring the car to a complete stop. Audi pre sense front can scan ahead and help brake if a collision risk is detected. New for 2026, park assist plus is standard, and it can steer the RS 3 into and out of parallel or perpendicular spaces, which is useful in tighter parking spots. Side assist with rear cross traffic assist can also help when backing out, and a brake jolt can be used to warn you if needed.
