Thank you for a REAL video of the new RS3. So many sites have been showing renderings or amalgamations of other models. Im glad they went back to the older display, the newer steering wheel, the redone fascia, and obviously the torque vectoring adjustments.
I like the pre-face lift better personally, particularly the back end & headlights. Plus the front grille looks too big visually for my tastes. But, this is a lot better than some of the other new designs at least. Just please go back to the old badging (Audi emblem + RS3 badge on the front) Great cinematography, these shots are amazing
Agreed. The new badging looks terrible, the 'italic' styling matching the red/white symbol was better...and no RS3 emblem at the front grille? It's a miss there.
@@Roddy_Zeh If and it is a big if I change my RS3 8Y for this, I'd just remove the shit badges and fit the same ones that are on my RS3. Simple, problem, solved.
Interior looks much better and classy compared the the gti esque styling of the previous. Badges should be like they were, and the rear bumper much better imo instead having that tacky plastic mesh look. Overall an improvement.
I never considered the RS3 too much, because I thought it was too small. But I dunno, the more I look at it the more I like it. This one looks great, and I bet it’s incredibly fun to drive. Absolutely love those wheels too
Wait until you see the price, you might be in for a shock. Audi have been adding 10k to their new RS models over the version they replace and this is just a facelift, NOT a new car.
I think the previous gen looked better. I don't like the front rings or the steering wheel. Glad they kept the trunk rings the same, those are the best looking now.
The facelift performance is slightly better (2% faster on a road course track) but the looks and everyday usability seem about equal. I think pre facelift buyers and facelift buyers will both be happy. Good job Audi. 🎉
Current 8y owner, I think the only thing I that surprised me is the new design of rear bumper & diffuser. To be honest, it looks much better than the 8y
I think it's less about speed upgrades but more about handling capabilities. Supposedly the facelift model is able to take corners better than pre-facelift. Which was already pretty good.
@@NJRacer623 Just put decent tyres on it, which Audi never do. You got either P Zero or Bridgestones, which my RS3 came with. Both pretty poor. I've now got Michelin PS4 on the car and the grip and handling is transformed.
Unfortunately, as with the previous RS3, this will only look decent in black. And how terrible does that steering wheel look? The airbag cover in that cheap plastic material(make it leather with some nice stitching) and those silly haptic buttons ... These mistakes shouldn't be happening in 2024, especially being a high priced Audi ...
Black, the worst colour you can get. Never looks clean, shows scratches and swirls and gets too hot in summer, plus, boring. My RS3 is tango red, looks bloody awesome and a lot of people agree on that.
@@luciussander8217 Scratches and swirls on black paintwork are due to incorrect washing techniques. I've owned black cars before and never had an issue with the paint. That is down to owner maintenance. When black is clean, it definitely looks the best.
All cars get placed on shallow water. But normally with a front end badge, which will be part of the RS pack on the RS3... 🙄 Why does the sportback get these carbon buckets and this one the leather RS seats?
The front grill takes up the entire front end (again). The exhaust area of the rear end looks out of place and almost bulbus. The interior has way too much going on. Piano black center area with no physical shifter again. A squircle steering wheel? Touch capisitive buttons? But why?.... lights are cool, though.
The 3D front badges haven't looked good on any of the new Audi reveals, they are just flat out worse then the old design. Also no RS badge on the front is a real head scratcher.
@@crheming It's just a facelift. Things they should have changed, they didn't. Just wait for the price, bear in mind the new S3 costs almost as much as the current RS3, so expect this to be £70k fully optioned. In which case, good luck selling that.
Besides the lack of RS3 badging this is a really good facelift overall, it looks WAY more aggressive 😍 I don’t get the hate for the steering wheel either, it’s not the best they’ve ever made but it’s still pretty clean in my book.
Recupera las RPM en rodondo del cuadro!!Q bien!Aunque no se si los anteriores con las RPM en rampa también había la posibilidad de ponerlas en redondo.Yo prefiero en redondo
Well mine took nearly two years to come. Only got it last May and ordered it in September 2021! Since the face lift is ten grand more than my carbon sportback with the RS pack... nope. Rep called me last week, not interested. Ten grand more, for the same car with more cheap bits added, you gotta be kidding. I've only done 6k in mine, it's still as new. Audi have fucked up and then some with the pricing on this. If you go carbon vorsprung, add ceramics and exclusive colour, that's £80k. I just bought a Porsche 718 GT4 for £81,990 with just over 1k on the clock, which just demonstrates the greed in Audi. No way I'd pay that much for an A3 with a good engine, as that's what it is. It's not about affordability, as that's easy for me to finance, it's about paying so much for something that's barely premium. My new toy is on another level in terms of quality compared to my daily, the RS3.
fajnie wygląda i oczywiście mi się podoba, chociaż nie wiem czy teraz wygląda lepiej, musiałbym zobaczyć na żywo dwa modele - co nie zmienia faktu że jednym i drugim chętnie bym pojeździł i chciałbym mieć takie fajne samochody
The logo, the wheels, steering wheel, the badging, front redesign, I don’t know, just not feeling it. Also, maybe they could’ve gone for a bit less black plastic at the rear. To me it looks less aggressive, less like an rs than the pre facelift.
@@CCC-DID The M2 and RS3 are such different cars, I find it odd they are so commonly compared. I get that they are the junior performance car of each brand but one is a RWD coupe while one is an AWD 4-door
@@enekmartinyeta1215 It’s so funny you brought this up. I was driving my black 8Y yesterday with the DRL‘s off and one guy in a Subaru Outback broke his neck, looking at the front, trying to read the red badge as I was passing by him. Actually, EVERYONE looks 👀 that badge. Removal is a travesty.
Front is okay, side profile doesnt look as inspiring and im just not a fan of how much valence takes up the trunk. I like the 8v the most and the 8y from certain angles
Doesn't need more power. 180mph and 60 in under 4 seconds. I struggle to use the power in mine, what with speed limits and traffic. Just good to have the grunt for overtakes and back road blasts.
just ordered one :) these days. upgrade from a s3 PreFaceLift. honestly, now(!) i luv the steering wheel and the new style. i watched some pre-tests here and yes its now louder as the PreFaceLift. lets see. (greetz from germany!)
Enjoy your new RS3. Dont forget to order the front badge, and get that steering wheel airbag done by a proffesional upholstery company cause the quality on the new one is extremely cheap. Other than that, its a great car!
Everytime all new cars came with piano black, more and more. These pieces does not have a good life over the years and scratches appears you wash them, no matter what. Still like the dimensions, rims, and motor line. I will ever miss old school interior finishings of Audi, which used to be unique.
bought my car new and owned it since 2020 no micro swirls or scratches 90% of people dont know how t o properly wash their cars which is why they get scratched up just tells me youre one of them more people damage their cars just from washing them
Quite the opposite. The face lift looks like older model. Look at that steering wheel, same as you get in a Peugeot! I kid you not! All the changes are to save production costs. Yet, price wise, it is now £10k more than the pre facelift was when I ordered mine. Unreal. People would be mugs to buy it, especially if like me you have the current version. Nothing I see temps me to get one. We don't even get the bucket seats in the UK. This is more downgrade than upgrade, especially given the price hike.
@@Comech64 I have an RS3 8Y and whilst no front badge wouldn't bother me, you have to respect that others are pissed off by it. I'm sure the ST badge on your Fiesta gives you a lot of satisfaction.
Audi UK, are you going to offer us all the options this time? You've skimped on the facelift S3, so I fully expect things like bucket seats, interior styling pack and ceramic brakes not to be offered to UK customers. If you make that mistake again, I'm out and will keep my carbon 8Y another couple of years. Don't like the new badges and that steering wheel looks very cheap... black plastic, STILL. They could have also sorted the sound out. Mine pops and crackles just like this one, but it took 5,000 miles before it started to do it. LOL. Overall, not much to tempt me and I actually think my car looks better. I'm betting a Vorsprung will be £70k plus. LOL.
Glad I got a 2024, not a fan of the 2025. Theres to some functions on the 2024 that I thought I didn't like but after seeing what they did to the 2025 (steering wheel, shifter, steering wheel buttons, led speedometer, rear diffuser) I prefer the 2024 design, its much more aggressive overall.
looks like they fixed the fake rear vents everyone was complaining about but i dont like that light they put in the middle the grill still looks weird to me and the steering wheel..... why cant they just do what they did with the 8v overall better than the last gen but id wait to see what changes they do in few years.
Once the TT is gone, a compact 2 door coupe' ( ICE or mild hybrid) would be much desired .....And now even more so as Audi are joining F1 , sportiness must be reflected in the road models.
Personally, I like this a lot more than the prefacelift. I could imagine buying this but not the prefacelift. I like the change in the front the most, even without the front badge and the worse Audi logo. To me, the new grill is just a lot better than the prefacelift. Backend, I know many people hated the prefacelift fake black honeycomb strip. The facelift is better, but could be better if they made the diffuser less tall.
@@turner492 Oh I'm very well off thank you, own my own IT consultancy. It's not about affordability, it's about getting value for money. The facelift is ten grand more for the same car, but with more cheap shit on it. We have three cars on our drive, an RS3 8Y sportback, the missis Boxster GTS and mine 718 GT4... and that's probably because I don't piss money up the wall just because I have it. That's how people like me can afford two houses, three cars and when I get past 35 years old, pretty sure a super car will be in the garage. Good luck.
Don’t like the wheels. Too fussy. Previous ones were much nicer. And why put the touch buttons in the steering wheel! So much negative feedback from them in the Golf R. All the rest looks nice.
@@mauricetoussaint7283 Sorry, if i hurt your feelings about your "dreamcar" obviously. Indeed i never owned a RS3 - just drived the 8V several times and the 8Y prefacelift once. That i dont like the all plastic grill front of the newer audi models is my personal opinion. Handling wise i haven't noticed any big differences, but as said, I've driven the latest RS3 version just once so cant really tell if it still has Audisteer or not. Handling was not better to me though. I switched from audi to porsche 3 years ago and im happy with it. So no worries, im not interested at all in buying a boring hatchback with no sound and the interiour plastic landscape of a honda ;).
Yeah, it sucks. Let's see how Audi implements it. The Mk8.5R kept the touch buttons despite 8.5 GTI/Golf getting physical buttons. From reviews, it does seem like they changed the sensitivity significantly to make it useable.
Thank you, at least some seems to still have some common sense amongst comment section. The lack of quality in Audi’s latest production is beyond any comprehend, that cost cutting trend as to stop.
its par for the course if anyones been watching the reveal of the new 5 and 6 series. pre facelift front and rear are more aggressive and better suited for the cars overall design. Those wheels are god awful as well. Did Audi get a new lead designer or something because they've been full of misses lately.
It's not disgustingly ugly but it's definitely not the nicest or as nice as I thought it would be for that car I don't know there's just something missing
Exactly what I would do. But then I just seen the prices... UK price for the carbon sportback, £64,160. That's almost a ten grand increase from when the 8Y was launched. The carbon vorsprung is £68,650. Those are the package prices, so if add paint and any other options, potentially you'll be spending over £70k!

Handling wise i haven't noticed any big differences, but as said, I've driven the latest RS3 version just once so cant really tell if it still has Audisteer or not. Handling was not better to me though. I switched from audi to porsche 3 years ago and im happy with it. So no worries, im not interested at all in buying a boring hatchback with no sound and the interiour plastic landscape of a honda ;).
Dont like wheels and that front grill
What about the rs5?
O futuro!
Enjoy!
soft touch buttons... i guess they didnt learn anything from the Golf R crowd
Yeah, it sucks. Let's see how Audi implements it. The Mk8.5R kept the touch buttons despite 8.5 GTI/Golf getting physical buttons. From reviews, it does seem like they changed the sensitivity significantly to make it useable.
Ich würde den Plastik-kühlergrill gleich noch an der Seite weiterführen dann spar man da auch noch Lack 😂
did they make wider fenders?
How dare you!!! 😅
❤❤❤❤❤
Interior looks cheap ( apart from
The chairs) for a car costing 68,000
Thank you, at least some seems to still have some common sense amongst comment section.
The lack of quality in Audi’s latest production is beyond any comprehend, that cost cutting trend as to stop.
Great, at least it doesn't look like a Hyundai with that grille.
💯💯💯
Steering wheel looks like Cupra now 🙈 too bad that like usual no changes in power/torque :(
its par for the course if anyones been watching the reveal of the new 5 and 6 series. pre facelift front and rear are more aggressive and better suited for the cars overall design. Those wheels are god awful as well. Did Audi get a new lead designer or something because they've been full of misses lately.
New wheel design front badge and steering wheel is uglier, but everything else is nicer than original 8Y! 🙌
They ditched Bang and Olufsen?
Well, it was crap. Got it in my RS3 8Y and it is pants.
Ages ago! It’s been Sonos for a while
@harric9864 I was inside a 2024 S3 this Spring that had B&O in it... not sure how that could be "ages ago".
@@q-tez1559 well maybe some do some don’t, we have 3 Audis (A1 & 2 A3) and all have sonos- they are 2021- 2023 models
B&O Advanced 3D is only available in premium cars like my 2024 Audi Exclusive RS6 Avant Performance. The rest gets crack.
R S 3 nova marca de carro
Is anyone else getting tired of that B.S black interior with red stitching for the RS car models? Bring out different color options.
I dont like the audi stikker logo on the steering wheel...
Interessante
It's not disgustingly ugly but it's definitely not the nicest or as nice as I thought it would be for that car I don't know there's just something missing
First mod: Removing the updated RS3 badge and adding the old badge...
Exactly what I would do. But then I just seen the prices... UK price for the carbon sportback, £64,160. That's almost a ten grand increase from when the 8Y was launched. The carbon vorsprung is £68,650. Those are the package prices, so if add paint and any other options, potentially you'll be spending over £70k!
looks like the A3 tbh
I sure hope the 5 series gets an integrated display. The ONLY cars left with the ugly tacked on screen correct?
