The USA only got access to latest RS3 for the 2022 model year, but an updated model is already in the pipeline. The one seen here is the Sportback which isn’t available in the USA but which shares styling elements with the sedan. The heavy camouflage suggests that Audi will make substantial tweaks to the headlights, taillights, bumpers, and side skirts. Audi made no effort to disguise the interior, so it will likely be carried over as is.
It will be interesting to see if Audi can get more power out of the 401-hp turbocharged five-cylinder. The German brand previously said the best of ICE is still to come, and the five-pot deserves a decent send-off.
Audi will likely unveil this facelift later this year, and the car will probably arrive in the USA in mid-2024 as a 2025 model.
