The German automaker has revealed the 2025 Audi RS3 as part of a mid-life upgrade. Although the engine has remained same, the car’s handling qualities and external design have been improved significantly. The 2025 Audi RS3, which comes in sedan and sportback configurations, will go on sale in dealerships in October 2025. Orders can be placed as early as the end of August. The Sportback edition of the 2025 RS3 will cost 66,000 euros (about 61.25 lakh) in Germany, while the Sedan form will cost an additional 3,000 euros (around ₹2.78 lakh).
Audi wanted to improve the entire feel of the car as well as its visual dynamics with the 2025 facelift. In light of this, the RS3 is expected to benefit greatly from a number of cosmetic changes in addition to improvements to the chassis and suspension parts. The 2025 Audi RS3 set a new fastest lap record for the compact car class at the Nurburgring despite the lack of powertrain improvements. The RS3 now sports new standard tires, a redesigned body, and an upgraded chassis configuration.
The 2025 Audi RS3 gets new air intakes along with an aggressive front grille and a redesigned front grille with a new frame up front. With 24 LED elements showing a chequered flag design and the ability for drivers to choose between three preset designs, the LED DRLs appear more detailed and sharper. New vertical side reflectors and an aggressive rear diffuser with a red reflector in the center are added to the rear fascia. Along with a new look, the exhaust has round tailpipes and black frames.
Ascari Blue, Progressive Red, and matte Daytona Gray are among the new colors added to the Audi RS3 with the 2025 upgrade. In addition to the car’s standard 19-inch aluminum wheels in matte black, Audi also provides a second design that is available in glossy metallic black or matt dark gray.
Additionally, Audi provides a high-gloss black and carbon package that draws attention to the diffuser blade, side skirts, and front air intakes. RS bucket seats are an optional addition to the Audi RS3, and Dinamica fabric can be used to complete the steering wheel. The seats can be trimmed in Nappa leather with honeycomb contrast stitching, and the interior is enhanced with new ambient lighting.
The 2.5-liter engine from the previous generation is still present in the 2025 RS3. This engine is a five-cylinder turbocharged unit with 394 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. It has a top speed of 290 kmph and can accelerate from zero to 100 kmph in 3.8 seconds.
