5 reasons to buy the 2024 Audi RS3

1. Standard engine packs a lot of horsepower 

The one engine available for the 2024 Audi RS3 is a formidable one, a 2.5L turbocharged five-cylinder engine producing 401 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. That unique configuration creates a distinctive engine note, especially when you put your foot down — which is something you’ll want to do all the time. The combination of that punchy engine and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, as well as all-wheel-drive, means zero to 60 mph can be achieved in just 3.6 seconds.  

2. Exciting and agile handling 

The 2024 Audi RS3 packs a punch in a straight line, and the thrills only continue when you show it a set of corners. That all-wheel-drive platform helps with road-holding and works alongside the adaptive sports suspension for peak agility and grip. Additionally, a torque-vectoring rear differential helps divert power to each wheel individually for the best possible launch out of the turns. All of this means the 2024 Audi RS3 is the kind of car you’ll be excited to drive every day.     

3. Comfortable cabin and smooth ride 

For the days when you just want a nice relaxing journey, the 2024 Audi RS3 is equally adept at providing a smooth and comfortable ride. The cabin offers seating for five passengers, with 41.2 inches of front-seat legroom and 35.2 inches of rear-seat legroom, and all five seats are wrapped in premium leather upholstery with diamond quilt stitching. Luxury features like three-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and a panoramic sunroof are all included as standard.  

4. Lots of storage space  

For everyday practicality, the 2024 Audi RS3 also features plenty of storage space both in the cabin and in the trunk. Numerous cupholders in the center console, as well as capacious door bins, means there’s no shortage of small item storage inside. Meanwhile, the trunk offers 8.3 cu-ft of luggage volume, more than you might expect in a compact sedan like this. You've also got 60/40 split-folding rear seats to open up more space for longer items if required. 

5. Lengthy list of tech features as standard 

Not only does the 2024 Audi RS3 have a stacked feature list full of tech and luxury equipment, but none of it is broken up into separate trim levels. That means that if you see a feature that you like, it’s probably included as standard. Some of those standard features include a wireless smartphone charging pad, a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto integration, and driver convenience technologies such as forward collision mitigation and adaptive cruise control.
