The most important role in this car is given to the engine - 2.5 L five-cylinder engine is the same as in the RS3 model. This powerplant achieves 420 Nm of torque and 306 hp - slightly less than the RS3 or TT RS models, which have 335 hp. Externally, the RS Q3 differs from the standard Q3 with aggressive bumpers with huge openings, a rear window spoiler and one huge exhaust pipe at the rear. Sitting behind the wheel may involve the strange feeling of sitting behind the wheel of an RS model, but the seating is unusually high. Here you will definitely feel the pleasantly enveloping seats, which are comfortable enough, by the way. The steering may be a little too light, and the corners tilt a little more than expected, but the all-wheel drive system is admirable. Still, it’s a parquet SUV, not a sports car. Although the car's suspension is 25 mm lower than the standard Q3, all other aspects of practicality have remained - the car is easy to get in and out of, it has a 356-liter boot that can be increased to 1,261 liters.
