2023 Audi RS Q3 Edition 10 Years price and specs

The 2023 Audi RS Q3 Sportback Edition 10 Years – celebrating a decade of Audi RS Q3 performance SUVs – has been confirmed for Australia, with first arrivals due by the middle of this year.

Priced from $102,900 plus on-road costs, the RS Q3 Edition 10 Years – offered in Sportback form only locally – is the most expensive Audi Q3 ever sold in Australia, at a $3800 premium over the standard RS Q3 Sportback.

Audi says it will be build 555 examples of the Edition 10 Years for the world, however it is unclear how many will be available in Australia. An Audi Australia spokesperson told Drive the company expects to have "good supply".

The special edition adds black 21-inch alloy wheels, black Audi badges, darkened matrix LED headlights, gloss black trim and bumper inserts, and a choice of steel brake discs with black calipers, or carbon-ceramic front discs with grey, red, black or blue calipers.

It is available in two exterior paint finishes: Dew Silver matte, or Chronos Grey metallic.

Inside, there are unique sports bucket front seats with RS badges, carbon-fibre seatbacks, and leather and Dinamica microfibre upholstery.

Other interior upgrades includes a Dinamica-trimmed instrument panel, black Alcantara-trimmed steering wheel and gear shifter, copper-coloured contrast stitching, RS Q3 embroidery on the floor mats, carbon-fibre matte-finish dashboard inlays, and illuminated door sill plates.

Performance is unchanged with a 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder engine developing 294kW and 480Nm, good for a 0-100km/h sprint time of 4.5 seconds, and an electronically-limited top speed of 250km/h.

It sends power to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The 2023 Audi RS Q3 Sportback Edition 10 Years is now available to order ahead of first Australian showroom arrivals between April and June this year.
