Audi Thailand continues its push in the premium car market, adding thrill to the high‑performance segment from Audi Sport by launching the new Audi RS 3 Sportback, a high‑performance compact car upgraded in exterior design, interior, and convenience technology to enhance the driving experience. The headlight unit offers four selectable daytime running light patterns, new body colors, and new wheel designs, while the interior receives updates including a new steering wheel, MMI Curved Panoramic display, and new interior trim such as Matt Carbon Twill inlay, RS Rhombus illuminated door panels, and more. The Audi RS 3 Sportback continues to convey Audi Sport DNA through its signature 2.5‑liter five‑cylinder TFSI gasoline engine, delivering a maximum output of 400 horsepower and peak torque of 500 Newton‑metres, paired with quattro all‑wheel drive and RS Torque Splitter technology for performance, precision, and driving fun. It also features a Drift Mode in the RS Torque rear system, designed for use in closed areas or on a track, allowing torque to be directed to either rear wheel up to a maximum of 1,750 Newton‑metres, enabling drivers to control drifts with greater enjoyment and accuracy, amplifying the sporty driving feel and highlighting the RS 3 Sportback’s outstanding performance in true Audi Sport fashion. The new Audi RS 3 Sportback retains the character of a high‑performance compact car in a five‑door hatchback body, with refined details that look sharper and sportier. Exterior styling includes Glossy Black accents that blend the Audi Rings and model name in Glossy Black, reinforcing an aggressive stance true to Audi Sport. Matrix LED headlights draw inspiration from a checkered flag for the daytime running lights, offering four display patterns via the MMI Curved Panoramic screen, plus Coming Home/Leaving Home functions and front‑and‑rear light‑staging effects. Inside, the cabin features a newly designed steering wheel wrapped in Dinamica microfiber with a flat‑bottom shape and a red 12‑o’clock marker for improved steering precision.

A 12.8‑inch Curved MMI Panoramic display upgrades the cockpit’s look and usability, while a panoramic glass roof adds openness and a premium ambience. The vehicle comes with a premium SONOS sound system with 3‑D audio, plus a full suite of safety and driver‑assistance features such as Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Proactive Occupant Protection (front, side, and rear), and more.
