An all-new RS steering wheel includes distinct RS Mode satellite buttons and aluminum paddle shifters, providing a responsive and conveniently thrilling driving experience. This new flat top and bottom steering wheel design comes standard wrapped in perforated leather, with an optional Alcantara finish for the benefit of additional grip.

While driving in low-light environments, the interior ambiance of the RS 3 has new applications of customizable, multi-color, LED lighting. Arriving as standard equipment, the LED interior lighting package pro features ambient backlighting in the door trim, door panels, cupholders and surrounding the perimeter of the center console. Selectively dictating the illumination within the door panel are hundreds of rhombus-shaped laser cutouts of cascading sizes, delivering an emotional nighttime interior experience. Within the illuminated surrounds of the center console lies a new shifter design.

Replacing the previous model year’s bright silver finishes seen on interior elements (such as the door handle, door trim, and HVAC vents), the 2025 model introduces a dark gray metal Vanadium finish, further emphasizing the evocation of performance. Drivers and passengers alike can become immersed in music of their choice via the standard 3D sound of the SONOS premium sound system.
