2023 Audi TTS review

1. Plenty of power 

The TT is the entry point to Audi’s sports car family and the regular 228-hp compact coupe and roadster aren’t wanting for power, but the 2023 Audi TTS offers a very useful increase in performance. Using the same turbocharged four-cylinder 2.0L engine, it boosts power to 288 hp, with torque increasing to 280 lb-ft from 258 lb-ft. Unsurprisingly, this results in better performance – Audi claims a zero to 60 time of just 4.4 seconds. 

2. Stylish looks 

The 2023 Audi TTS builds on the upmarket and premium appearance of the regular model but adds sportier details for a racier look. Only available as a coupe, aluminum finishes on the bumpers, mirror caps and side skirts mark out the exterior, along with 20-inch wheels and four chrome exhaust pipes. If you like a sharp image, you'll enjoy the TTS' discrete but worthwhile design features that will turn heads when you turn into corners. 

3. Upscale interior 

The 2023 Audi TTS benefits from a stylish, minimal, and design-led cabin. There's also a distinctly sporty feel, dominated by the S sports seats that are heated and feature eight-way power adjustments. Four-way power lumbar adjustment is also standard in addition to pneumatic side bolsters that hold you tightly when carving through curves. The brushed matte aluminum trim coordinates with the exterior and the use of leather and simulated Alcantara materials add splashes of luxury. 

4. Responsive handling 

Audi’s signature quattro^® permanent all-wheel drive is standard on the TTS for improved traction on slippery surfaces. Audi’s magnetic ride electronically adjustable suspension system is also standard and a brake-based torque vectoring system keeps the 2023 Audi TTS on its chosen line through corners. The AWD set-up means grip is plentiful for added confidence, whether you’re dropping off the kids at school in the rain or cruising through the canyons. 

5. Design-led packages 

The 2023 Audi TTS is a stylish car, but if you want to stand more, three available packages add additional flair. The Black Optic package replaces the exterior aluminum trim with gloss black detailing and also adds 20-inch black-painted wheels and red brake calipers. The Competition package builds on this and features a fixed-wing rear spoiler, carbon fiber interior trim, and a leather and synthetic suede-wrapped steering wheel. If you’re particularly daring, you might favor the Bronze package with its bronze-colored rims, bronze interior details, and copper-colored seat stitching.
