2025 Audi RS3 price and specs
Audi Australia has confirmed pricing and specifications for the updated RS3 Sportback and Sedan, both of which have seen markups of nearly $10,000. Due to arrive in showrooms from mid-2025, Audi's smallest RS model cracks the $100,000 barrier for the first time in Australia. The RS3 Sportback is priced from $104,800 before on-road costs and the RS3 Sedan is priced from $107,800 before on-roads. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Audi says the new RS3 offers "sharper styling, enhanced dynamics, and new technology" over the outgoing model, though unlike the S3 there have been no changes made to its engine, which is still a turbocharged 2.5-litre five-cylinder producing 294kW of power and 500Nm of torque. Key changes include a revised exterior design, including an updated front grille, bumpers, as well as new LED lighting signatures. Inside there's a new flat top and bottom RS Sport leather steering wheel, while a panoramic glass sunroof is now standard. Other noticeable differences compared to the old model are new alloy wheel options, as well as new exterior paint choices. These include Progressive Red and Ascari Blue, as well as Daytona Grey with a matte effect. On paper, the RS3's drivetrain specs are unchanged. However, Audi says it has "fine-tuned the interplay between mechanical and electronic components – including the torque splitter, electronic stability control, and wheel-selective torque control – to ensure the RS 3's performance and handling dynamics are at the absolute forefront of its class". The new Audi A3 retains the five-star ANCAP safety rating of its predecessor, based on Euro NCAP tests conducted in 2020 – though the S3 and RS3 are unrated. Standard safety equipment includes: Audi RS3 equipment highlights: Carbon package: $7400 RS design package plus, red: $2150 RS design package plus, green: $2150 Standalone options include: The following exterior finishes are offered: Only Ascari Blue costs extra, at $650. Audi also offers a range of 'exclusive' finishes upon request, including a new Daytona Grey matte effect – pricing is TBC. Interested in buying an Audi RS3?

Audi's flagship EV getting cheaper with new base model
Audi has launched a new entry-level version of its flagship electric vehicle (EV) for Europe, bringing the base price down by almost A$30,000. The Audi e-tron GT quattro slots in under the S e-tron GT in the updated electric sedan range, which was previously confirmed for release here during the first half of this year. We've contacted Audi Australia to confirm if the new entry-level variant will also come here. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. In Europe, it'll be priced from 108,900 euros (~A$188,000), which is 17,100 euros less than the S e-tron GT. It features a 105kWh (97kWh) net battery capacity like the rest of the updated range, offering up to 622km of range under the WLTP cycle, DC fast-charging at up to 320kW, and a route planner that automatically pre-conditions the battery. Energy consumption is listed at between 17.8 and 19.3kWh/100km, slightly better than the S e-tron GT (18-19.7kWh/100km) which also has slightly less range (609km) and weighs 30kg more. The e-tron GT quattro's dual-motor all-wheel drive powertrain produces 370kW of power, increasing to 430kW with launch control. That gives the e-tron GT quattro a claimed 0-100km/h acceleration time of 4.0 seconds, which is 0.6 seconds slower than the S e-tron GT which has up to 500kW of power. It's distinguished from the S e-tron GT through greater use of black trim up front, as well as unique 21-inch alloy wheels. The e-tron GT quattro has a drag coefficient of 0.24Cd. Audi's EVs posted a global sales decline of eight per cent in 2024, amid an overall decline for the brand of 12 per cent. While deliveries of its EVs in Europe actually increased by six per cent last year, e-tron GT sales slumped 49 per cent – a decline surpassed only by the axed TT and Q8 e-tron Sportback. In Australia, e-tron GT sales slumped 75.2 per cent compared to 2023, with just 84 reaching local buyers last year. Porsche sold more than twice as many of its related Taycan, with 282 delivered. The launch of the new entry-level e-tron GT comes despite Audi's introduction of the A6 e-tron, which would appear to negate the need for a more accessible version of the flagship four-door sedan/coupe. The updated e-tron GT range not only gets a new battery plus new variants such as the quattro and range-topping Performance, but also receives a new, lighter rear electric motor and revised suspension. The sultry styling has been left effectively unchanged, though detail revisions include new paint colours and wheels.
