The facelifted RS has a redesigned front mask with an RS logo and bold headlamps. Besides a wider and bolder induction aperture, the car's innovated bumper also has fog lamps with the Corner function and LED lamps for daytime lighting. The covers of the integrated tailgate lamps have also been redesigned. For the European market, the sports-tuned chassis has been lowered to 127 mm, the car's weight reduced by 20 kg in the petrol version and 15 kg in the diesel one. Significantly reduced air resistance has a positive impact upon the car's overall performance. The maximum speed is higher, and the car'sresponsiveness and acceleration have also been improved.
There is a choice of 2 engines. A 2.0 TSI/200PS petrol unit and a 2.0 TDI CR/170PS diesel engines. Both engines come exclusively with a six-speed manual twin-clutch DSG transmission and are Euro 5 compliant.
