Out of the German big 3, I think Audi is the most consistent with their designs. Good looking car.
Idk.. audi rs3 is nearly the same for many years. M2, M3, M4, M5 are really special. But you can like it or not. They are making new designs, not only updated versions.
@@pyrofisch_hh BMW have lost their heritage. They build cars for the Chinese, that's why they look so ugly. Halo lights are pretty much gone too. Audi is consistent.
@@pyrofisch_hh
Special and ugly, agreed. If changing the designs means you will get these ugly beavers, then I don't want it.
@@jamesseome8670 new M2 design is controversial but I like it tbh and without any doubt I'm taking M2 over RS3
@@karolmaciejewski340 Controversial?? It's ridiculous. I'm an Audi guy and the BMW M2/2 series is my favorite BMW... But this new one is rubbish looking and FAT!!
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
Damnnn thats sick that’s the ultimate car 🔥🔥🔥🤙
Not a big deal but I don't see the reason why they ditched the RS logo on the front grill
Doesnt matter it looks completty diffrent than a3 or s3
@@nihillon2064 They're honestly very similiar, some parts of the grill on the RS3 are painted gloss black as opposed to a normal A3 with S-line, and it has a slightly different lower part/lip but that's it. I usually look for the badge when I see something "special" in oncoming traffic
RS3 badge on my 24 RS3 is something I'll really appreciate even more now!!
you dont put badge on RS grill lol your taste is dogshit
well just look at your profile pic says enough
Perhaps you can add it on for a low price of $500.
What a great overview man. Thanks so much. I just put a deposit on one of these and in this day and age of distance buying sight unseen etc etc this kind of overview is so helpful.
The sedan looks Menacing on this face lift. I always loved the spot back but that sedan looks better
Sedan might look better but the Sportback is so much more usable as a daily driver. Coming from a 2018 Golf R in the US if the RS3 Sportback was available here that would be my next car. The Sedan is so small it might as well be a roadster. Total nonstarter for me as I actually use my car for more than joyriding. The other day I went to buy mulch from Home Depot and I was able to chuck over 20 bags in my Golf R with room to spare.
I don’t understand why Audi thinks Americans don’t like hatchbacks. They’re the best of all worlds with the driving dynamics of a car and the practicality of an SUV. Plus the short wheelbase makes them such a fun ride.
I'm glad to see Audi fixed the diffuser compared to the previous version
Previous wheels much better ✅
i dont need it, i dont need it, I NEEEEEEEEED IT !!!
these are some really nice cars! Audi been doing great things lately.
Cant wait to buy a used one in 10 years 😍😍😍
It's nice that they left the physical switches for climate controls but touch panels on the steering wheel is a big fail 👎🏼
Bmw guy here but I love how the interior looks
Beutifull steering wheel. Love the colour . Great car
I think it looks mega. 20bhp wouldn't have gone amiss but well done Audi
Very nice, well done video. Thanks.
Audi Sport hat geliefert! Kann es kaum erwarten, den Wagen mein Eigen zu nennen.
Viel Spaß mit dem Schlitten schon mal😎❤️
Viel Spaß.
As an owner of the pre-facelift RS3 8Y im happy that they didnt changing to much. Especially from the power side. So i can keep my RS3. In comparision with the M2 they should give the new RS3 more power.
But this one was faster than the M2 on the Nürburgring regardless of having less power.
@@ROMANERUIZA true!
The new M2 has nothing to do with a 2series it's an M4 lite. That's why it's so heavy and needs more power...
@@ROMANERUIZA you can't ignore tyres when drawing such a conclusion. The RS3 was on Trofeo R tires compared to the Cup 2 on the M2, the former is a better tire. So it makes sense that the RS3 would be faster.
And as a general rule I'd take all of these Nurburgring records with a grain of salt. It looks to me like it's become a marketing tool, and companies are playing fast and loose with the regulations, or the regulations are inconsistent to begin with. There have been some suspicious laptimes in the past years, including the pre-facelift 8Y actually, along with the Model S Plaid Track Pack and the newest Panamera.
To get a better picture you should compare multiple tracks, zeperfs or fastestlaps help with that. Nurburgring is just one track - and a pretty peculiar one, since certain setups are very favored.
@@xIcarus227 the laptimes are marketing. 99% of the owner drives on normal streets and never drives like a professional racer. M3, RS3, M3, RS4 all are nice cars and its just a matter of what you like. I hate the BMW - Audi Shittalk. Both nice.
Je suis choqué du bruit OMG 💥💥
5 cylindres. Meilleur son à mon avis !
@@HuckThis1971 oui c'est vrai que le 5 cylindres il fait un beau bruit
re reved it when starting it, its normal
Hammer Auto, wird nächsten Monat bestellt, schwanke zwischen kyalamigrün und kemoragrau
If you would only know that the current RS3 8Y does the loud bangs too. so no new feature here just not advertised in the old one. For all 8y drivers start your engine and also press the gas at the same time until 3000 rpm then let it go and it will shoot bangs ;)
How come no one else has mentioned this?
get into the car, push the power button for some secounds and then put your foot on the brake, it'll do an emotional start reving up to almost 3k rpm by itself
In the UK, you just press start stop button, use RS button to change to Performance, then foot on brake and start the car, it does exactly the same. I do it on my 8y for every start as sounds so good.
@cliang001 if you own one (rs3 8y) then we all know this. It's nothing new. What has changed is some tweeks, and the valves between certain revs when driving.
@@mrprice6767 yes but not the really loud bangs ;) try it with your warm car and thank me later ;)
Oh My gody super CAR luxury 💥🏁🚀
FINALLY MAN. This sound tho😍THIS CARBON diffuser😍😍😍.
I wonder what options Audi UK will decide we can't have. They really screwed up with the pre-facelift car and probably lost sales because of it.
Exactly bro,the diffuser😢
@@Cpm_legit54 it’s perfect
Damn. I love it
Nice one 🤙⭐️💥
Not that I can afford these cars and actually experience these problems but does anyone look at those GORGEOUS rims but then think to themselves about what a pain in ass they would be to clean with all those spokes lol
You curb one of those and you will have a big bill. If you can still spec ceramic brakes, which I have on my RS3 8Y, then at least cleaning the fronts is easy. LOL.
Why the steering wheel!?!?
touch buttons on well is so stupid
I love it. When will it be on sale in the states?
Even better than ever! Lovely car ❤
Still ugly 8y compared to best A3/RS3 ever, the 8V facelift...
As it’s the final combustion engine RS3 they could have given it a power boost, to let’s say 420hp to match the Merc A45 at least
But they don't need to, it's faster than the Merc, just...
Faster than the A45, sounds better, and more potential.
Too wise ! :)
the front fender vent is real or fake?
sedan🔥🔥🔥
Pre Facelift looks 10x better. What are the designers even doing?
They need to sell the Avant in the US
Previous version seemed over designed, with cheap looking elements. This looks much better with the subtle changes.
Opino justo lo contrario.
Haha, it's pretty much the same! Obvious you don't own one. The interior is the same cheap plastic, simple as that. Yes they've made some slight changes, but overall not much different. I hate the interior of my 8y, this new one isn't any better (apart from the new seats). I bought mine for the engine and exterior looks, inside is a cheap A3, simple as that, but personally I don't care any more.
@@mrprice6767 interior doesn't feel cheap. It feels appropriate for the car. Even better I'd say
@DudeThedudesky Well I don't know what cars you own, but most comments all over including professional videos mention the cheap interiors! I've had the RSQ3, 3 x RS5s, RS3, and the RS3 is the worst by far for cheap plastic rubbish. My previous Merc and BMW were 10 times better, fact. I love my RS3 which is why I still own it, but interior is bottom line, cheap....
@@mrprice6767 Audi is the King of cost cuttings no matter the car(a3 to new a6 etron) and cheap materials interior, im 100% agree with you
So glad they got rid of the ugly rear fake vents
Richtig schön. Nur die Felgen sind nicht mein Fall.
Bin ich ganz bei dir...als Performance-Felgen sind die net so der Burner. Die schwarzen vom Vorgänger *i like*😉😍
Limo 🔥
Warum soundcheck im Kaltstart Modus? Klar ist er dann lauter am röhren
Could you compare the sound between the old and new one?
Well, not side by side but since the pre-facelift was our daily car I can tell you that the new one sounds beefier and sharper than ours😁👌
@@Automann-TV do you think the new one is louder? Could you tell something about the Downshift sound? I owned a RS3 8V non OPF for 6 years😅
@@hardt_engineering2705that One is too loud 😂
@@hardt_engineering2705nothing will sound better than that bro 😂😂 fucking beast, will always turn a bad day into a good one
when does it come out to buy on audi website
I don't know this is me purely and genuinely guessing it but it could just be available in 2025 if it's a 2025 rs3
I”ve heard September best, maybe October
did they also remove the ambient lightning strip from the dash?
Audi being Audi once again🔥🫡
Yep, reduce quality, increase the price.
@@luciussander8217 in what way reduce quality? They reduced lap times new rs3 doing 7:33. That's only 2 seconds slower than the m4 comp xdrive.
Hard top doors
No front Rs badge
Seats from the previous Rs3 Performance so they do have reduced quality while raising price significantelly.@@DudeThedudesky
good facelift
Wow, thats a damn sick car!
Is there anyweight difference in the two
When is Autobahn video coming ? :D
Looks like the rear has a prolaps
when autobahn video!?!?!?!??! :D
Hope the new RS3 Sportback will be available in Belgium before the new (stupid) taxes applied at the 1st july 2025.
What taxes are those? Asking as living in Brussels?
I dont care, they cost way too much here in belgium
i got a 2022 rs3 vorsprung saloon here in the uk , the only thing i am not a fan of is the filled in front badge the rest looks very nice , the only think is audi uk generally does not give us in uk give the option the rest of the world gets , on the pre face lift we got standard, carbon and vorsprung models with very little option to personalised the car but i hope this my change .
Same here mate. Got a 73 reg vorsprung, we get ripped off big time! I was hoping to upgrade to this new model but it just not worth it. Horrible steering wheel (like the current one in the vorsprung), haptic buttons are a big no no, and we won't see the colour interior options, tpms screen, side assist in wing mirrors, usual stuff with Audi UK missing features. Nice car, but not worth paying to upgrade. I'll stick with my 8y despite me liking some things on this new one.
Love the car, but IMO the green is sickly and the grey is dull. Any other colours?
There’s already a facelift? It’s only been two years since the current RS3 has been on the market.
@_IMNNO 22 through 24 is three model years. Just saying
@@speeddemonRS3 True, but here in the US, the 8V design lasted a lot longer with little design change.
@_IMNNO I'm in the US. 17 thru 20, so 4 years instead of three!!
@@speeddemonRS3 Yup the double. Four instead of two.
@_IMNNO Are you high or just bad at math, honestly? Three model years for the 8Y and just 1 more year for the 8V, and it was discontinued!!
Think I’m buying this for my son
Must be a lucky and spoilt son to get this
@@DudeThedudesky how spoilt? I worked my whole life to ensure that my kids won't face the same difficulties I faced in my life, not making them lifes easy but helping them
@sir_kala a almost 70000 euro car for my son. That's literally the definition of spoilt. Just because you worked hard doesn't mean you spoil your children. It makes them spoiled and not wanting to do anything for a good future.
@@DudeThedudesky first define spoilt
Buying a 1$ toy is love, buying a 500$ toy is spoilt wtf are you on? The price bothers you? It's MY money not YOURS, MY son not YOURS
@@DudeThedudesky you don't even know why I want this for Him, if I want to it's because he deserved it
He didn't ask, he just works towards of it, build my trust and that's it
Get a life
I absolutely HATE that the sport back model isn’t sold in the states!
what is the weight of the car?
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.
That steering wheel is horrid
Says the fuckin bmw fanboy. It's not bad but I love the older one
Do we finally get a heated wheel in the audi 3 series? Its an 80k car in Canada when a 25k toyota has a heated wheel, and basically every base model car sub 30k canadian you can think of, but this is almost triple the price and no? Even a shitty mustang has a heated wheel. So does the equivalent mercedes and bmw. I just don't get audi's hate for it in the 3 series. The VW has it and they make both. Like what the hell man. When its -40c and I am done clearing the snow off my car and my fingers are freezing it is a pretty damn must-have feature and I'd expected it from Audi on basically everything in our market.
We did not get the 8Y RS3. Production ended for our market with the 8V in 2020(maybe 21) but we are getting this refresh for 2025 model year finally. About damn time.
As 8y owner , I did not see any difference except the diffuser
Again bigger tyres at front (255) compared with rear tyres (235) ?
Yep👌
265/30r19 - 245/35r19
OMG❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤
Still that piano black plastic along with that hard plastics center console and doors panels, with no interior window joints, for a 66000 euros base model
So they really are taking customers for granted.
But it's not just a 100" screen and no buttons like every other modern car.
Looks good except the steering wheel... and the exhaust of course
Not sure why you’re turning up the temperature on the climate control if it was so hot on the day.
Tf is going on in the background at 9:58??
I'm still mad about the QUATRO name they removed from the front bumper a few years ago. Now they've removed the RS3 badge from front grill.
I mean quattro Is cool but it's haldex. Haldex is better for the rs3 because it makes the engine more behind the axle than true quattro pushing it further down the axle
Aside the pop and bangs, the raw sound is not really impressive. Old rs3 sounds better.
Attends de la voir rouler, les clapets s’ouvrent à partir d’un certain régime
The Audi logo it's Orrible....😂🎉🎉🎉😅
Pops and Bangs when Driving or only in Emotion Start 🤔?!
Me gusta más el anterior modelo.
Of course the 2018-2020 8V looks better lol....the 8Y is a deformed joke
Lets see the price. Should be cheaper then M2
na knowing Audi their cars are pricey
66000 for sportback (basic) and 68000 for sedan (basic)
@@MrKrotze91 m2 starts 76600 germany
@@nikst7463 correct, but he asked where the price is for the rs3 at the beginning.
A few years ago, my hair dryer exploded. Sounded the same like this. But louder before the explosion than the rs3.
A shame how the 5 Cyl. Sounds now. Less bangs, more 5 Cyl. Sound would have been better.
That's not Audis fault, EU regs. Listen to a new 911 turbo s, hardly tuneful. Better some sound than none, be grateful for that as the world of performance cars gets ever more silent.
Sure. But that's eu regulations. And in person it sounds good stock. Very good. Just you need to get an exhaust to let her scream
@@DudeThedudesky I own an RS3 8Y and it does sound a lot better in the flesh, especially when you get past 4,000 rpm. If people think a vacuum cleaner sounds like that, they'd be best to get their hearing tested.
Kia k3?
GT4RS Wheels 😂
That 2D Logo on the steering wheel is sooo ugly..an these touch sensitive buttons combined with piano black on the inside....whyyyyyyy?! Literally everything else is just perfect
Audi making BMW look bad this year
You think, good luck with that theory. It's the other way round, BMW seem to have listened to their customers and all Audi want to do is to reduce quality and charge more.
0 to 100km ?
Same car, so same.
First thing to do: OPF off
Yes and kiss your warranty on a $70k car goodbye, clever.
That steering wheel is trash
Those hard plastics still look super cheap! What a shame! Why, Audi, why?! This is NOT an entry level car and, as such, it should contain premium quality materials! Pfff 😩
It has a good quality interior. Your not getting bentley interiors for this price. It doesn't squeak and feels very very solid. Be grateful they didn't completely ruin the interior
@@DudeThedudesky Bentley interiors, you say? No, man, hold it right there; my criticism comes as someone who's been a previous Audi owner (A1, A3, TTRS). I mean, even the wife's 2017 A1 has better quality interiors than this and came at a fraction of what this costs.
@@ROMANERUIZA that's literally impossible.
Nice bmw wheels 😂😂
They look nothing like bmw wheels
@@DudeThedudesky Err, yes they do.
@@luciussander8217 they look similar kind of. But not that much. They are just rims. Many designs exist.
@@DudeThedudesky They're very similar to the M sport wheels I had on my M2. The Audis don't look too bad in the grey colour, although I prefer the all black design I have on my RS3 8Y.
@@luciussander8217 why did you sell or switch the m2
Horrible rims, but nice Sound. Also the looks is much, much better 👍
Rims look good
Feels like no matter what manufacturers nowadays try to do with the sound, the solution to getting an actually good sound is removing the OPF. RIP inspections though.
RS cars should have better looking steering wheel. That cheep looking plastic airbag is awful. Come one Audi, you can do better than this. Coming from 2024 Q7 owner.
Schöner Motor......aber die Materialien im. Innenraum gehen gar nicht.....genau wie der Sound.....👎
literally everyone was complaining when golf got touch "buttons" on the steering wheel climate and what not. who the f thought this time it would now be a good addition to this car and others even... far away from reality. also steering and the front grill r ugly af imo. also front grill looks like a fkn pain to clean the gaps. love the video and quality, thanks automann.
BMW looks like wheels ?
After a while with German cars getting uglier and uglier, finally a nice & balanced sport design. Unfortunately, the interior materials look to be cheap, specially on the top side of the dashboard, not what Audi used to be.
Throw that steering wheel in the TRASH
A 2 door coupe variant would be interesting to me.
I've always said this. Audi is missing an opportunity to make an RS3 coupe that could directly compete with the M2.
guys look up ^^^
Dumb and Dumber !
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There was the TT RS...
One of the worst handling cars ever @@Dokepredator
@@Dokepredator Also never really liked the look. Too bubbly looking. The RS3 as a coupe would look perfect.
Overall, i prefer the pre facelift of the 8Y. I think the new one looks more modern but less aggressive. The positioning of the front logo and the new steering wheel is a big L
Ich finde den 8V immer noch schöner, zeitloser und besser designed, mag die Felgen hier auch absolut nicht und das Lenkrad ist ne absolute Ausgeburt von Hässlichkeit. Über Sound brauchen wir nicht sprechen, da wirds nie wieder so geil klingen wie beim 8V non OPF, egal ob VFL oder FL. Der hier wird beim Fahren aber vermutlich geiler klingen als das Vorfacelift. Will das Auto nicht schlechter machen als es sicherlich ist, nur einfach subjektiv absolut nicht so mein Fall, zu modern und zu leise für nen RS3
Bangs are nice but for that amount of money I'd like to have a good throaty exhaust sound and not a vacuum cleaner.
The startup-bang you hear in the first second of the video, is that present on every hot startup like in the RS3 8V facelift? Because that was super annoying. I mean, it's cool in some situations but it made you look like a complete idiot in other situations without the possibility of turning it off.
I have an 8V and i love that it pops on every startup😂 To do it on the new one you have to start it in Dynamic, then hit the gas pedal right as it starts. If you don't to that, then it sounds just like the pfl 8Y.
RS3 was supposed to be discontinued😂
Not when they've sold 80,000units world wide,
wtf are those exhaust 0:12 HAHAHAHA
Wut
