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
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.
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
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. 🎉
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.

So no worries, im not interested at all in buying a boring hatchback with no sound and the interiour plastic landscape of a honda ;).
They got rid of the front RS3 badge and the old badge looks better. The steering wheel looks so ugly. I hate what they did to the front Audi ring too. 2024 version looks way better.
@@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.
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.
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.

@@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.
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.
I prefer the old version,face more agressif,the back look like s3 or sline
Steering wheel looks like Cupra now 🙈 too bad that like usual no changes in power/torque :(
Where's the front RS3 badge??? SMH
Rs3 8 v daza....the best
looks like the A3 tbh
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.
