Audi is giving our tired eyes a break as the 2025 RS3 has been spied next to the current model. This makes the task of identifying the changes far easier, although the updates are fairly limited. That being said, the facelifted hatchback has a new front bumper that looks to be more linear and cohesive. We can also see a bolder grille with new intakes as well as a sportier mesh pattern.
Additional changes are limited, but the
headlights are camouflaged and this suggests they’ll sport new graphics despite
having a familiar shape. We can also expect the model to be outfitted with the
new four-ring logo that debuted on the Q8 e-tron. Out back, we can see a new
bumper that may ditch the faux vents. That remains to be seen, but the pictures
clearly reveal the reflectors will move and adopt an angular aesthetic. We can
also see revised taillights with new reverse lights.
It remains unclear if there will be any
changes under the hood, but the current model has a turbocharged 2.5-liter
five-cylinder that develops 394 hp and 500 Nm of
torque. This enables the hatchback to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in
3.8 seconds, before hitting a limited top speed of 250 km/h.
The RS3 Sportback Performance Edition upped
the ante with 401 hp, so it’s possible Audi could bring its
upgrades to the standard RS3 as part of the facelift.
