2025 Audi RS3 Sedan vs Old Audi RS3 Sedan 🔥

[@bonganikhumalo9563]

Sounds more brutal on the shifts

[@Evlengr]

Just put down a deposit today. Got rid of a lot of silly features and looks. Got away from the staircase tach and speedo, back to the circular type. Changed out fake looking rear fascia and widened front end. Changed steering to even better flat bottom and top racing type wheel. Changed torque vectoring to facilitate better turning and later braking for track use. Number of little improvements here and there.

[@danlee8090]

With mis mesh of old and new RS branding plastered all over the car LOL what a joke for such a global brand like Audi

[@JRLL81_]

@Jack-fr9bk how the hell is it a downgrade when its a facelift, its the same car just BETTER styling.

[@jamesseome8670]

@Jack-fr9bk And yet it's over 5 seconds quicker on the track...

[@AndrewTSq]

the only downgrade on new car is the steering wheel. It looks super ugly, but I guess you can put in the old wheel

[@luciussander8217]

@@JRLL81_ Only in YOUR opinion. Get it? Some of the cosmetic changes are a downgrade in terms of quality, Audi is doing that with all their cars. Else, opinions differ. That steering wheel looks very cheap, because it is. The car to my eyes looks softer, less aggressive and the only thing I actually do like is the bucket seats, but here in the UK Audi hate us, so we won't get offered those. The wheels are from the RS3 Performance model, so actually the same deal if you have one of those. I've had my carbon Sportback for a year, so not looking to change it and then, my God, check the prices out. Ten grand more for what is essentially the same car.

[@oddomadic]

The "old" steering wheel looks way better and has the nice clicky buttons.

[@joshpetit44]

I love this, those seats are nice! I like how the front grill sticks out more, and no fake grill on the back 👌

[@MD-vk9jj]

front grill RS3 lettering is disappeared?? Current RS3 lettering is better than new one.

[@DerCheckerzeigts]

You can just put a custom one.

why Audi keep making cool cars? I don't have enough money to buy them.

[@HuracanHilarantedelPueblo]

That’s right I felt in love 2 days ago, I seen a full black RS7 on the road The thing is I never liked black cars or Audi

[@LivinwithPat]

finally a comparison

[@Daveyboy_RS3]

I just started shopping for an RS3... Why is it that the 2024 in this video has a alcantara flat bottom steering wheel, but every 2024 I've seen at the dealers have a solid leather round steering wheel? Any answers would be appreciated

[@EmpireofBricks-SWLEGO]

That depends on certain options selected and only available in certain markets. Which one are you in?

[@Daveyboy_RS3]

@@EmpireofBricks-SWLEGO I've actually gotten the answer. I've been doing research all day for 3 days. Here in America you get the perforated leather round wheel... But if you get what's called the RS design package, it comes with the round alcantara wheel

@@jessermaier 8v was a little girl's car. Too soft looking and dated interior, with a poor driving position. I owned one, sold it after 6 months, got a TTRS, now in an RS3 sportback - night and day better than the old 8v thing.

[@CorleoneFam07]

​@luciussander8217 ironic that the TT was sometimes referred to as the "hairdresser's car" lol

[@VictorNarcosMexico]

Nope, new one is much more aggressive and wider looking. And the front has no round lines anymore… aggressive as f* now

[@Theonlycooker]

When will the 2025 version release?

[@luciussander8217]

Already on sale

[@speeddemonRS3]

@luciussander8217 He meant US market, I bet!

[@JCRS3-20]

Love the cleaner look of the new facelift. Lesser intersecting lines. Was upset to hear those cf bucket seats weren't coming to the US market but this is the third video I've watched that said they are not comfortable for daily use. Look great though. Hope to see this available soon.

I will buy a used one in 5 years :) Love the Engine sound.

[@user-lm6vg6kj4h]

Old front end with new rear end 👌

[@Keviin91310]

Merci Audi de sortir encore des véhicules thermique ❤️

[@VictorNarcosMexico]

It’s much louder and doesn’t have this round air intakes anymore, this makes it much wider and more aggressive looking

[@DavidBelteton]

Front profile new one wins. Rims, steering wheel, seats old one wins

[@BardhiHajdari]

Wow🥰

[@luciussander8217]

Check out the price, if I spec the facelift the same as my RS3 8Y sportback, it comes to £10k more than I paid when I ordered mine. Ten grand folks and that's before options, and the changes they've made are cost saving. Brief no doubt, whatever you change, make it cheaper to make or outsource to the cheapest vendor. That new steering wheel looks just like what's in a new Peugeot! Sonus no B&O. Loads more unpainted plastic. So, up the price, reduce the quality. Welcome to the new not premium Audi. Total shit show.

[@tresor75]

old

[@redoctober67]

‘24 looks a lot better. More character, better wheels, and the front side intakes look like fighter jet intakes, which is something the ‘25 just doesn’t capture. And let’s not talk about that hideous rear end on the ‘25. Also, using dark lighting to enhance the ‘25’s lights was disingenuous

[@luciussander8217]

You need your eyes testing mate.

[@Kevhoe]

The older cars rear end is literally why I bought a 8v. That terrible fake vent honeycomb.

[@luciussander8217]

What I find amusing, the cheap black plastics are still there in the interior and no B&O, now it's Sonus. The styling changes I bet all saved them manufacturing costs and that steering wheel was outsourced to a the lowest bidder, judging by how cheap it looks. Audi is doing this with all their cars now and they are then hiking the prices up. Many people have had enough of this. The new S5 Avant is the same starting price (no options) as the current RS4 Avant in the UK and look at the lower level of quality in the new car. You can get a fully loaded BMW 340i Touring for less money and the finance rates are half Audis.

[@VictorNarcosMexico]

Your crybaby comments everywhere are so stupid, go buy your sh* BMW and leave this masterpiece in beauty and quality to the wealthy ones.

[@ethenjordan2010]

couldnt even add cooled seats for which we know is about to be a much bigger MSRP. The wheel haptics are bad, guess they didnt learn from the MK8 R with those ugly red buttons, the rear looks like the WRX diaper, the front is okay, but no RS badging is a fail. The 8Y is def better. Id probably just get the bucket seats and put them in the 8Y

[@luciussander8217]

Cooled seats, what in the hell would you want those for. Heated yes.

[@highlyillogical9399]

Why do they keep overdoing the exterior of the rs3? People buy this car for the 5 cylinder motor and the performance, not because we want the biggest grille imaginable. Do less on the exterior make it more affordable. Also, start importing the Sportback to the US!

[@pcherbert644]

Old looks way better

[@olexbauer6611]

Amen!

[@luciussander8217]

Compare the price. In top spec, over £70k for the sportback and that's without the buckets, colour interior upgrade and ceramics. Audi really taking the piss, so grease yourselves up guys and prepare to be shafted if you order this facelift. Glad I got mine before this nonsense, saved myself ten grand and my RS3 has the RS Dynamic Pack, plus full carbon pack. I'm OK with the facelift, it's not that much of a change, but for Audi to use it as an excuse to hike prices, they can f*ck right off and that's what I said to the sales guy who called me today thinking I'd want to order one.

I don’t dislike it but I prefer the current version better, most of the styling upgrades haven’t improved the looks but the current one looks pretty good already. Not a fan of the lights, front changes and the steering wheel, not sure about the rear with the huge diffuser but I do like the carbon seats. If I was wanting to order the RS3 now I wouldn’t be dissatisfied with this but I’m happy I got the current one instead

[@Daveyboy_RS3]

I'm looking for an RS3 Right now, but the 2024s they have at the dealers have around leather steering wheel. But I've seen a lot of 2024s with the alcantara and flat bottom, like on the green 2024 in this video. Does the flat bottom alcantara steering wheel only exist in the UK, and we don't get it in the US?

[@speeddemonRS3]

@Daveyboy_GolfR Just round leather that kicks ass in your hands! It's perfect imo! 24 RS3 owner btw!

[@Daveyboy_RS3]

@@speeddemonRS3 100% agreed... When I initially made the post I didn't see that horrendous new steering wheel on the 25. I'm going into Coral springs Audi tomorrow to sit down with them. They only have 2 black 2024 RS3 in stock. They both have the -RS tech package $2,500 -The carbon package $2,700 -The RS design package with the alcantara steering wheel and some other alcantara pieces $700.00 -Black optics package $500 totaling $70,995 That's the way I would want the car specced anyway. Just don't know if I want black because even though it is very slick, black hides a lot of the details of the car. I'm really having trouble picking a color. The San Marino blue is the nicest color in my opinion, but my MK7 golf R was in lapis blue which looks almost identical. Otherwise, my next choice would be white. Turbo Blue is just too bright, and I wouldn't do red yellow or green. Any opinions would be appreciated on your end in terms of options and color choices. Thanks in advance

@@mrbartek3122 It's the same car, are you thick? This is just a facelift, so a few styling changes, a cheap new steering wheel, different wheels and really, that's it.

[@svevoromano4891]

You clearly don't own an 8Y RS3. I do, there's a lot of cost cutting cheap crap on this facelift. At least my car doesn't have that and the steering wheel. Man that's awful. No ceramic brake option that I have on mine and prices are now through the roof. How they expect people like me to trade up for this bag of wank I don't know. Audi rep who kept calling me can go do one. £65k for a carbon sportback before options. Fu ck off!

@@dragon0088 Sadly, some people are completely dim and think it is a new model. Doesn't help that Audi try to promote that way. On the Audi UK website it's being referred to as the 'new RS3'. This is what facelifts are for, to generate sales from buyers who otherwise wouldn't be looking to order a new car. Had my RS3 for a year and no way I am trading that and buying one of these. If they'd given it 500bhp and taken out all the cheap materials, which are still there, maybe I would change...
