A Audi has announced the new RS3 2025, which, in addition to receiving visible updates such as changes in exterior style and new carbon seats, has also improved the interior smell.
The brand employs a team of five chemists who evaluate the odor of about 200 internal components. These materials are heated in a special chamber and analyzed to ensure that the air inside the car remains pleasant at all times.
The RS3 is equipped with external heaters to simulate extreme conditions and test the material’s resistance to odor. Despite recent trends promoting vegan fabrics, the car still features genuine leather on the seats and steering wheel.
Audi aims to justify the RS3’s higher price compared to other Volkswagen Group brands by offering a more sophisticated car with a good number of physical controls.
The highlight of the RS3 is not just its interior aroma but primarily the five-cylinder engine that Audi will keep for a few more years, as the brand plans to launch only electric vehicles from 2026. The RS3 will be the last model with this engine, with the TT RS discontinued last year and the next-generation Q3 unlikely to have an RS version with a five-cylinder engine. The RS3 will be available in Europe from October and likely in the U.S. in 2025.
