2018 Audi RS3 Sedan (New)

2018 Audi RS3 Sedan:Exterior : Although this is the first-ever RS3 sedan, its design is more than familiar. Essentially an RS3 Sportback with a trunk, the RS3 sedan is almost identical to the hatchback model. The front end is highlighted by Audi’s new styling language with sharper lines and RS elements such as the «Singleframe» grille with honeycomb mesh and Quattro logo at the bottom and the black blade just above the splitter. The latter showed up on RS models a couple of years back and extends across the entire width of the fascia into the side air inlets. The new LED headlamps include the distinctive RS daytime running light signature, but Matrix LED units are also available. Onto the sides, you’ll spot more features previously seen on RS-badged models. There’s flared from wheel arches, which made the sedan 20mm (0.8 inches) wider than the standard A3, beefier side skirts, blacked-out window trim, black side mirrors, machined rims, and larger brake calipers with «RS» logos. Around back, the sedan showcases a trunk lid spoiler and a big diffuser with vertical fins for enhanced aerodynamics, as well as a pair of oval tailpipes. The sporty look is enhanced by the «RS3» badge below the left taillight and the 14mm (0.55-inch) wider rear track. On top of these extra features, the RS3 Sedan also gets the RS-exclusive Nardo Gray and Catalunya Red exterior colors. All told, this is the most aggressive A3 Sedan ever produced and a four-door worthy of the RS badge. And even though it looks like a shrunken RS4 for the most part, it has a few unique features of its own.

Interior: nside the RS3, you will find pretty much the same design layout as in the S3, but with the extra goodies that come with the «RS» badge. For instance, the front seats feature the heavier bolstering that comes with the «RS» badge, while the steering wheel has a sportier, flat-bottom design. Both are wrapped in black Nappa leather and come with «RS» logos, while the instrument panel and door panels feature RS-specific inlays. Customers looking to take the sedan at the track can select the optional, more contoured seats with integrated head restraints and diamond upholstery pattern. The RS3 Sedan also benefits from Audi’s latest virtual cockpit, which includes a 12.3-inch TFT screen instead of the mechanical gauge cluster. When using in the standard setting, it displays the usual speedo/tach combo, while the infotainment mode allows the screen to display navigation, phone, and audio system information. The MMI also enables the driver to choose between three display modes. They include a special RS screen that moves the tachometer to the center, with tire pressure, torque and g‑forces on the left and right. When the transmission is operating in manual mode, a scale with a color background signals the driver to use the steering wheel paddle or selector lever to upshift when approaching maximum revs. Moving over to the infotainment system, the main control element is the rotary/push-button control on the center console. It also includes a touchpad for scrolling, zooming and writing, and functions such as a text search feature that automatically completes the user’s input after entering just a few letters. The sedan is also equipped with an LTE module with Audi Connect, which includes navigation with Google Earth and Google Street View, as well as information on fuel prices, the weather, travel and traffic. Inductive charging for phones and a Bang & Olufsen sound system with 705 watts 14 speakers are also standard.
