2024 Audi RS3: Variants & Price 

The price range of the latest model of Audi RS3 Sportback ranges from €66000 which is equivalent to AED 267300. If you are interested in the sedan variant, the starting price is marginally more and is between €68 000, that is approximately AED 275 400. So far, there are no avails indicating that this facelifted version is on its way to the UAE market and consequently potential buyers in the region have to wait for more information.

2024 Audi RS3: Powertrain 

The Audi RS3 remains to be driven by the much loved 2. 5-litre turbocharged inline-five powerplant that is characterised by a wicked sound and resolute performance. This powerplant is likely to come out with the same emulative power delivery of 401 horsepower and 369 pound-feet torque as observed in the fifth generation model.

A seven-speed dual clutch transmission comes as standard with a wheel mounted paddle shift which makes it convenient to change gears faster and with a lot of accuracy. The flagship Quattro all-wheel-drive system, which has earned Audi so much fame, is retained; it can intelligently provide the right amount of torque required for both the front and rear wheels. The new model is expected to include changes such as revised adaptive shocks, stability conductance, and brake-driven torque vectoring to improve on its probe dynamic attributes.

2024 Audi RS3: Design 

The changes that the facelifted Audi RS3 brings to the table are numerous, with most of them focusing on the car’s already rather bold styling. If the previous model had muscular appeal, this one oozes it thanks to a more dominant splitter while the side air intakes are also newly located on the front side. The headlights on LED have received some modifications and have a chequered design as a new look.

Within the cabin of the RS3, there are Nappa leather RS bucket seats which are very comfortable while at the same time being supportive during an aggressive drive. Interior design innovations are also present such as flat-top steering wheel, a new compact gear selector, a new take on the air vents, which are all designed to offer a focus on the driver.

2024 Audi RS3: Safety Features 

As with previous models, the Audi RS3 facelift is expected to include a comprehensive suite of safety features. These will likely encompass advanced driver-assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking. Audi’s commitment to safety ensures that the RS3 not only delivers exhilarating performance but also provides peace of mind, making it a well-rounded choice for those who seek both excitement and security on the road.
