Audi RS3 Price In India 2026

The Audi RS3 remains a compact performance legend, powered by its iconic turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine that delivers around 394 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. This setup propels the car from 0-100 km/h in just about 3.6 seconds, accompanied by a distinctive raspy exhaust note that thrills enthusiasts. Enhanced by quattro all-wheel drive with rear torque vectoring, it offers playful yet precise handling, while the driver-centric interior features supportive sport seats, a virtual cockpit, and cutting-edge technology for an engaging experience.

The 2026 model builds on this foundation with refreshed aggressive styling, Matrix LED headlights, and subtle dynamic refinements, maintaining its appeal in both sedan and Sportback body styles. It continues to attract those seeking hot-hatch excitement with everyday practicality and track-capable edge, standing out against competitors like the Mercedes-AMG A45 and BMW M2 through its unique engine character and balanced performance.

In India as of 2026, the RS3 is not part of Audi’s official lineup, which prioritizes SUVs, mainstream sedans like the A4 and A6, and flagship RS models such as the RS Q8. Despite past speculation of a launch around ₹85 lakh ex-showroom, no official arrival has been confirmed. Enthusiasts in cities like Lucknow, Mumbai, or Delhi typically access it via grey-market CBU imports, with on-road prices estimated between ₹1.2 crore and ₹1.5 crore or more, due to high import duties, taxes, and logistics.
