Audi Rs3 Leasing

Performance upgrades mean the RS3 loses a little of the A3’s practicality. The hard centre-rear seat and tall lump on the centre of the floor hampers outright space in the back. But there’s still room for children to stretch out. It also has all the same storage around the cabin as the A3, with decent-sized cubbies and door bins.

With the rear seats in place the RS3 Sportback has 335 litres of boot space, just 45 shy of the regular A3. Fold them all down and this grows to 1175 litres, more than enough for most items. There are also lots of tethering points and shopping hooks to keep things from moving around.

All that high performance inevitably comes at a price for running costs, too. With emissions of 194g/km, it sits in the highest Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) company car tax bracket. Audi claims 33.2mpg is possible if the car is driven gently. But those figures are a pipe dream if you make full use of the RS3’s performance.

Audis are generally well built and the performance models such as the RS3 should be no exception. The company’s dealers are also highly rated for customer satisfaction, as befitting a premium car.

The RS3 Sportback has 335 litres of boot space, 45 litres less than the regular A3. Fold the seats down and this grows to 1175 litres which should be enough for most trips. For the record, the obviously less-practical RS3 Saloon has between 315-770 litres of boot space.

There is only 1 trim level of the RS3 available, though the car does come in 2 body styles. If, however, you want milder performance, then Audi also offers the S3 as the middle child between the regular A3 and the potent RS3.

Yes, the RS3 comes with parking sensors. It also gets a hi-res parking camera that helps you see around its blind spots for you.

The RS3 is still fairly practical with a decent boot and plenty of space inside. There’s also plenty of storage around the cabin and decent door bins for other items.

Hot hatchbacks combine high performance with practicality and the RS3 does both well. On top of that, it brings a premium badge to the segment, satisfying both the head and the heart in one go, in an extremely capable vehicle.
