Chassis tweaks make Audi’s pocket rocket an even more capable performer.
The RS badge only accompanies the sportiest version of a given Audi model, as demonstrated for the 2025 Audi RS 3. It differentiates itself from the Audi A3 and S3 sedans with a unique engine, more sophisticated chassis tech, and bolder styling. The current-generation RS 3 was introduced for the 2022 model year, and for 2025 it gets updated chassis tuning that makes it even easier to drive fast, plus a subtle facelift.
Verdict: With its closest rival, the Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 S, on the way out, the RS 3 is in a class of its own. It combines four-door practicality, sports car-rivalling performance, and an interior worthy of the Audi name. But you’ll pay a lot for all of that.

The Audi RS 3 is celebrated for its thrilling performance and impressive handling, making it a top choice for driving enthusiasts. Owners rave about the car's power and everyday drivability, though some note it may feel niche and lack certain amenities found in other luxury vehicles, such as power seats. Overall, it thrives as a compact performance car with a comfortable ride, even if some would prefer a few additional creature comforts.

What people say
Fastest compact car ever made. Plus comfy everyday driver
Incredible speed and luxury way overpriced fior size and availability was iffy
excellent car .. some styling interior bits that others may choose differently (weird shifter, lack of vented seats, etc). but this is a very special high performance sports sedan.
Like no other.! This our second RS3, our first was a 2019 and the 2023 is amazing. It sounds unreal, handles, outperforms and stops with ceramic brakes. Well worth all the time waiting.
The green RS3 looks better in person! It drives so amazingly there are no words. To explain how amazing it is..
