-The Audi RS 3 Sportback got refreshed in 2017 getting new bumpers, rims, and colors along with many other enhancements.
Other highlights include the Audi phone box, the Bang & Olufsen Sound System with 705 watts of power, and many driver assistance systems. In slow-moving traffic up to 65 km/h (40.4 mph), for example, the traffic jam assist keeps the car at a safe distance from the vehicle in front and can briefly take over the steering.
Also new in the Audi RS3 Sportback are the emergency assist, which automatically stops the car if required, and cross traffic assist rear. The latter system looks out for crossing vehicles when the driver is pulling out of a parking space.
The 2.5-liter straight-five engine engine was upgraded to offer 33 hp more than the predecessor and is also 26 kilograms lighter thanks to a new aluminum crankcase. The RS3 offered an impressive performance, running from 0 to 100 km/h in only 4.1 seconds.
19-inch alloys as well as brake discs with a diameter of 310 mm were offered as standard. Optionally, buyers could choose carbon-fiber ceramic discs in front.
The interior was sporty yet incredibly comfortable, the sport seats were all wrapped in black Nappa leather (as standard) and had head restraints for the driver and the front passenger as an available feature.
