Welcome to Tech in the Car
I'm at Marshall Coulsdon Audi and I'm going to talk you through the retail configurator for the
2022 Audi RS3 for the saloon and the hatchback!
We're going to go through it all! We're here in the configurator studio and obviously if
you're interested in an RS3 I think these guys are great so please pay
them a visit! talk to them and mention me as well because that will help out
and maybe they can help you with your Audi and it doesn't have to be an RS3! It can be any
Audi so pay them a visit! So let's start off looking at the configurator so here we have
the Audi configurator I've already made a video explaining the trim lines we have the
RS3 trim line, we have the carbon black trim line and we have the Vorsprung trim line.
I've already talked about that in my other video but there were some questions about
what options were available with what; so today we can see actually what's included
in detail! so if you're looking for an RS3 you can actually place your order
and you can actually get it exactly how you want it.
Let's start off with the RS3 trim so I'll do a saloon and then I’ll go to the sportback so
we can see some comparisons. The first thing you'll notice is on the RS3 trim is that you
get the 19 inch 10-Y-spoke Platinum grey alloy wheels. And these are not my favorite
wheels but that is what you get you also get the front sport seats in fine nappa leather
and you also get the LED headlights with LED rear lights and dynamic rear indicators.
These are not the matrix LED lights; the matrix LED lights can dim themselves when
cars are on-coming so you don't blind the car facing you but this isn't those but it
does have high beam assist which you'll see in a minute which you can turn on and off.
But it doesn't individually dim the LEDS which is what the matrix LED lights do for
really good vision at night. You also get the MMI navigation plus with the MMI touch
and the virtual cockpit with the RS specific display and then underneath that we have the
Carbon Black pack which includes the matte black 5-Y-spoke wheels and that includes
the matrix LED lights and that includes a black styling pack plus which blacks out everything.
If you go back and look at the RS3 saloon you can see it's got the aluminium pack there which
i actually quite like! you can't specify that individually though and then the carbon black
edition also comes with the RS sports exhaust which is really important if you're getting an RS Audi.
You want the sports exhaust and it also comes with a decorative carbon trim inlay so that's not
actually carbon fiber on the other cars but on the carbon pack is it? let's see we'll see
when we get there. Then the top model is the Vorsprung which has got the 5-Y-spoke
black with graphic print alloy wheels, they look to me like diamond cut wheels that's what they
look like to me and that has the same matrix LEDS and the same black styling pack but now you also get
the Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system and you also get the driver assistance systems which also swaps out
the flat bottom steering wheel for a round steering wheel because that has a capacitive touch
sensors in it which you need to use the driver assist features so let's just go first of all
into the RS4 saloon so you can see it starts at £50 415 and if I click on this here and we can now go into
engine and transmission so this just shows us here the various options and this matches the trim
level but the engines are all the same! we can then go to exterior and we can look at the exterior so
this is the colour paints that you can have so you can have Kyalami green which looks like this, you can
have Turbo blue and then you can have the metallic paint finishes so you can have Kamora grey metallic and
this is a free color the other two are £575 or you can get the glacier white metallic or mythos
black so this is the only pearl effect/crystal paint option on the new RS3 and then there is python yellow metallic
and then tango red metallic and then if you want a pearl effect that is the Daytona gray
so I'll be honest I'm not a huge fan of these colors i think there should be a pearl or crystal
finish in blue and green and I think removing those colors and only have them flat is disappointing!
The launch cars you've seen are in the Kylami green and that probably the most eye-catching
for me right now I'm going with the turbo blue but I wouldn't be surprised if I change that
at some point in the future now if you want to get exactly the paint that you want then there
is the out exclusive paint finishes and you can choose those for £2 400 and on the wall
in front of me that you probably can't see but I'll show you in a minute we have the different
paint samples that's not all the paint samples but you can have those so you can have Ara blue
like my current car has! this is a paint sample wall if you choose an out exclusive colour or you
can have one of these or indeed anything you want that's the beautiful thing about this so if we
come over here we can see this is our blue crystal effect so this is the effect that I have on my own
car and I can choose between them I've got all the different kinds of blues here we've got
beige silver different kinds of silver different kinds of black that is a blue
even though it looks like gray to me you've got all different kinds glacier white brown
daytona gray up there the reds the whites so what's really cool about this is if you want
to pay that 2 400 pounds you can get one of these audi exclusive colors or anything else
on your car to make it more individual
so if you're looking to get the same color as you have on the car now it isn't even an option
right now on the rs3 or any other audi you can do that with a standard model like i said you can't
choose between the alloys you have to have those 19 inch 10y spoke wheels likewise you
get the led headlights you can't choose matrix you also notice i quite like this the car has
silver mirror caps an rs audi car i really like that personally i think that's really cool
we can go through the further equipment you can see some of the other options here i can click the
high beam assist privacy glass is included which is a tinted rear and then we have the aluminium
around the window frames and at the front with the aluminium pack so let's go to interior next
transport seats are standard so you can get the same seats in all of them you have a choice of
either dynamica or alcantara same thing or leather in the uk there is no style design
packs you can't get the green accents on the seats or the dashboard there's also no alcantara
steering wheel no 12 o'clock racing stripe again disappointing they're obviously in the same
factory they can have them on a rack you could have made it an option you know disappointing
you do get a flat bottom steering wheel if you choose to have the driver assistant packs then
you automatically get three spoke leather version which is a round steering wheel without the flat
bottom because that has the sensors in it you can choose just to change to that if you prefer
the look of that the car does have metal paddle shifters light on the rs6 etc and then we can go
into the seat options you can choose child anchors isofix this is all stuff which comes as standard
down here underneath are the various packages so you've got your rs adaptive suspension with audi
drive select 1175 pounds you can see here the wheels that come with the standard version
however it then gets carbon ceramic brakes even though you can't change your alloy wheel
selection and then you get the comfort and sound pack which you can click on which is
£1 185 pounds which includes the advanced key and the bang & olufsen premium surround sound system
which has got 680 watts from 15 high performance speakers and a subwoofer and of course we have a
reversing camera as well and then lastly we have the rs dynamic pack which you have to select if
you are also choosing the adaptive suspension it will require you to choose the rs dynamic pack
so you don't have a choice in that matter and that includes the adaptive suspension the ceramic
brakes top speed increase 180 miles an hour and the sports exhaust system which like i said is
really really important underneath the steering wheels we have our interior design elements
and we have our light packages ambient lighting pack which includes 30 different colors to choose
from contour lighting and ambient door lighting you can check out my video on the ambient lighting
in the 8y8 on the channel too we then look at equipment so advanced key is an option there if
you don't select the comfort sound pack you can choose to have the banging of some freedom sound
system if you don't select the type of sound pack again it makes sense to do that because it will
end up working out cheaper and then we have the standard things you would expect now i can select
on here the driver assistance now if i select one driver assistance feature i get them all
again i can't choose one of the other so if i click on adapter cruise control it will ask me
to add the driver existence pack and there we go we got the driver system track so that adds all
of that and then that changes the steering wheel to the route steering wheel automatically right so
let's remove the packs i clicked on and now let's go to the summary at the end so now this is just
face space nothing extra added other than the color which are turbo blue and you can see here
what i get in here i actually i selected a high beam assist for 100 pounds i can generate
a pdf of that so we can have a look and see what's on there and you can see as standard
it comes with basically nothing here i selected high beam assist i selected the drive assistance
pack that's it now standard equipment includes this is really important what you get with the
car in the standard trim central locking system key let's go looks like the keyless scope comes
standard you get the drive select but not much not much else not much else you also
get park assist so it looks like you got parking sensors as well on here and a hill hold assist
so that's the standard model let's now have a look at the carbon black in the sportback so
build your audi and now we scroll down here so the carbon black edition click on next click on engine
it's the same exterior so now you'll notice some changes so we obviously got the same colors
you have the matte black alloys here
which look a lot nicer in my opinion
and you'll notice the exterior carbon so the carbon fiber on the mirrors there
and also from the back here you see this really aggressive cool looking carbon fiber spoiler
you also get the matrix led lights here so they're dark and matrix led lights
privacy glasses included so you can choose to have black roof rails 290 pounds it comes
with a carbon roof spoiler comes with a carbon engine cover comes with the rs specific bumpers
an exterior design headlights so that's that if we go to interior now so there's no options here
to click on any further packs so we just have to go through here underneath here seats again
isofix interior design headliner full decorative carbon trim so now this is a trim which is carved
on the inside which you can't get with anything else and now i can choose some other options if
i want to i can add the advanced key i can add the bang olufsen 3d sure and sound got the driver
assistance pack as well you can choose a reversing camera and then of course we can go into the
sports stuff so we've got obviously sports exhaust is included not the ceramic brakes
but the sports resources included so this is the first model which comes with sports exhaust
as standard without adding any other options this comes to fifty
six thousand one hundred and twenty five on the road or fifty four thousand seventy five without
road tax and this is not adding any optional extras this is just as it is standard so you
can see obviously it looks really cool with all the carbon fiber no question there i do love that
it's a very cool looking car not the top trim though let's have a look at the top drum now
let's go into the vor sprung so as we mentioned the vor spring comes with the bang olufsen drive
assistant systems and also some other stuff the electric butte lid and a 360 degree camera
so we've got our body paint finishes again which leave it in tango red here
now you'll see the wheels have the print design the sort of diamond cut finish
panoramic glass sunroof included a standard so that's the first thing which you didn't get on
the standard model and also not on the carbon model as well obviously it comes with a driver
assist so you get the round steering wheel you also get memory function and electric
which are also heated as well and of course the ambient lighting pack like you got before
got the sports exhaust and you've already got a d restricted top speed as well you can see a
360 camera if i click on it and you can see now there's a camera in the front as well which is
very very cool safety technology we've got the adaptive suspension included in the standard
we've got the sports exhaust system including it's standard we've got driving select we've got the
top speed increased 174 miles an hour including the standard and that's the raw spring model
so you can't change the wheels there's still no design pack on the inside it's only the external
stuff that you could adjust so that's 59 225 add a thousand pounds for the saloon print out
our configuration and generate the pdf so we're missing the really cool carbon fiber spoiler so
what i would say is if you like the carbon fiber spoiler but you want the 360 camera you want the
electric vehicle if you want to have the extra divorce when things are panoramic glass sunroof
just buy a carbon fiber spoiler separately you can buy third-party one you can even buy one of audi's
official ones they're not cheap so as you can see standard equipment i haven't had anything here
all of the driver systems features a 360 camera head-up display is also included in this
heel hold assist park assist rs sports exhaust rs adaptive suspension with audi drive so let the top
speed be restricted and then dark and matrix led lights just like the carbon version they are the
matrix led light so they will display rs3 in the corner panorama got sunroof privacy glass
electric power seats ambient lighting pack so in my mind the best trim to go to is divorce front
there's also a launch edition this is meant for the media press for magazines youtube channels
like this one hopefully also for the dealer so they have demo cars that can be driven
around and tried out and experienced by the customers they're not intended to be sold but
some dealers are telling customers they can sell them whether that happens or not i don't know i
would recommend divorce spring version in the uk like i said some disappointments no design packs
so no cool stitching on the inside no accents that's disappointing but it's got everything
else you could want i'd like to be able to also choose a metallic paint color which doesn't cost
me two and a half thousand pounds i'd also like to be able to have different color brake calipers
those are minor things you can adjust you can paint your brake calipers you can buy a carbon
fiber spoiler you can do all those kinds of things so a lot difficult to do so i hope you enjoyed
this look around the configurator here at marshall course them audi like i said give them a visit
