This would be the first RS3 in sedan form and probably first serious competitor to the Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 that recently received a facelift. The 2.5-liter five-cylinder RS3 hatch is good for 367 hp, which leads to speculation about what the sedan version will be capable of in the near future.

The CLA 45’s four-cylinder currently engine produces 380 hp, it therefore wouldn’t be unreasonable to think that the RS3 would come close to that figure, or possibly reaching 400 hp. We will keep you updated about the new RS3 sedan as we’re sure more information will come our way in due course.
