Technology & Digitalisation

A front view of the sports-style steering wheel and the curved panoramic display.

Fuel consumption (combined): 9.3–8.9 l/100 km (preliminary); CO₂ emissions (combined): 210–201 g/km (preliminary); CO₂ emission class: G (preliminary).

The carbon twill, matt inlay shown is currently not available.

RS – in a nutshell.

More dynamic, more comfort or the RS-specific character in a nutshell. With quattro all-wheel drive and the RS sport exhaust system*, performance becomes an experience. Audi drive select* allows you to adjust the vehicle’s character by way of additional RS-specific driving modes.

Digital stage in the interior.

The panoramic display, comprising the Audi virtual cockpit plus and the MMI touch display, is oriented toward the driver and supplies a wide range of important information, clearly displayed.

A light show with personality.

Discover the fascinating lighting technology of the Audi RS 3 with a choice of four light signatures* and coming home/leaving home function*.

An illuminating statement.

The darkened matrix LED headlights* with four daytime running light signatures turn the Audi RS 3 Sportback* into an eye-catcher – including the RS-specific signature in “chequered flag” design inspired by motorsport. A striking light signature at the rear rounds off the overall look.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data have been determined according to the measurement procedures prescribed by law. Since 1st September 2017, certain new vehicles are already being type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. On September 1st 2018, the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) was replaced by the WLTP in stages. Owing to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those measured according to the NEDC. Therefore, the usage of CO2 emission values measured according to WLTP for vehicle taxation from 1st September 2018 on can cause changes in this regard as well. For further information on the differences between the WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.audi.de/wltp or https://www.audi.ie/en/wltp-lp/

We are currently still required by law to state the NEDC figures. In the case of new vehicles which have been type-approved according to the WLTP, the NEDC figures are derived from the WLTP data. It is possible to specify the WLTP figures voluntarily in addition until such times as this is required by law. In cases where the NEDC figures are specified as value ranges, these do not refer to a particular individual vehicle and do not constitute part of the sales offering. They are intended exclusively as a means of comparison between different vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (e.g. add-on parts, different tyre formats, etc.) may change the relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, and, in conjunction with weather and traffic conditions and individual driving style, may affect fuel consumption, electrical power consumption, CO2 emissions and the performance figures for the vehicle. Further information on official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO₂ emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the guide “Information on the fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions and electricity consumption of new cars”, which is available free of charge at all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Strasse 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen, Germany (www.dat.de).
