The Audi RS Q3 is a high-performance compact SUV that blends aggressive styling, advanced technology, and exhilarating power in a practical package. As the sportiest version of the Q3, it delivers RS-level performance while maintaining everyday usability.
At its heart is a 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder engine, producing 400 PS (394 hp) and 480 Nm (354 lb-ft) of torque. Paired with a 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission and Quattro all-wheel drive, the RS Q3 sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (0–62 mph) in just 4.5 seconds, with a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) (or 280 km/h (174 mph) with the optional RS Dynamic Package). The signature five-cylinder growl adds to its thrilling character.
The RS Q3’s chassis is tuned for performance, featuring RS sport suspension, optional adaptive dampers, and progressive steering, ensuring sharp handling and stability. The exterior design is bold, with RS-specific styling, a gloss black honeycomb grille, large air intakes, flared wheel arches, and 20- or 21-inch alloy wheels, giving it a muscular stance.
Inside, the RS Q3 combines sportiness with luxury, offering RS sport seats in fine Nappa leather, carbon fiber or aluminum trim, and Audi’s Virtual Cockpit with RS-specific performance displays. The MMI infotainment system, premium audio options, and advanced driver assistance features ensure a high-tech, comfortable driving experience.
As a compact SUV with supercar-inspired performance, the Audi RS Q3 is perfect for those who want the excitement of an RS model in a versatile and stylish package.
