What's new

The TTS receives no changes for 2023
Part of the third Audi TT generation introduced for 2016

Overview

The 2023 Audi TTS is a luxury sport coupe and one of the smallest two-doors on the market. A sport-tuned suspension and peppy turbocharged engine make it zippy and fun from behind the wheel. The third-generation TT made its debut back in 2016 and has been updated a handful of times since then, though Audi has made no changes for the 2023 model year. Audi also offers the TT coupe and TT convertible, though we review that car separately on Edmunds. Notably, the TT isn't available with the more powerful engine that comes with the coupe-only TTS. The raucous Audi TT RS was dropped from the lineup after 2022.

Edmunds' spotlight: How good is the TTS?

The TTS is part of a dying breed, that is small, focused sport coupes that eschew practicality for the sake of design and performance. While there are plenty of two-door cars still on sale (including cars in Audi's own fleet like the A5 coupe), most are larger or more expensive or not quite as sporty as the TTS. It's not as practical or as comfortable as other luxury coupes, but the design and driving experience help the TTS stand apart in the crowd.

Competitors to consider

While most coupes on sale today are bigger than the TTS, there are a handful of two-doors left in this class. Some of the Audi's strongest rivals include the two-door BMW 2 Series, Lexus RC, Toyota GR Supra and Porsche 718 Cayman. If you're looking for something with a bit more space, check out the BMW 4 Series or Audi A5, both of which offer a similar premium feel with a bit more practicality.

Which TTS does Edmunds recommend?

The 2023 TTS is only available as a coupe in a single trim level. It comes well equipped from the get-go, with good in-car tech and solid performance. Options are limited, though there are a handful of paint, wheel and interior designs to choose from.

Audi TTS models

The 2023 Audi TTS coupe is available in a single trim level. Unlike the base Audi TT, there's no Roadster variant available for the TTS. The TTS is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine (288 horsepower, 280 lb-ft) paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Seating for four is standard, though the rear is very small and better used for luggage than passengers.

Excellent for an enthusiast

Bailey Smith, 11/11/2015

2016 Audi TTS quattro 2dr Coupe AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)

Disclaimer, I purchased a TTS but this information is still pertinent to a TT buyer (Dynamics) With the recent refresh, Audi brings the TT more inline with its yet to be released R8 big brother. The new IE8888 2.0 liter turbo four cylinder works beautifully with the S-tronic transmission (the only one available in the U.S.). There is just a bit of turbo lag below 2500 rpm, but once in … the boost power is of no concern at all. The acceleration is more than enough for the average driver, and at freeway speeds even the base TT passes other cars with ease (but be sure to let the S-tronic downshift a couple gears first). With Audi's Quattro system, grip in poor conditions is not a problem if you're being reasonable (note: I live in a very snowy area of the U.S.) but I have gotten it to intentionally slide at low speeds. In dry conditions you'd have to be quite reckless to get this thing to lose grip, but it is manageable when the rear steps out of line. It handles well, but, (and this is a critique of all Audis I've experienced) the steering is pretty numb and doesn't provide much in the way of feedback on the road surface. The steering is, however, well weighted and is direct enough that I barely even need to think about where I want the car to go. The suspension is on the firmer side but it isn't harsh or jarring at all on decent road surfaces, body roll through corners is negligible and the chassis feels rock solid. Fuel economy is also better than advertised in my car, at freeway speeds I have achieved 29 mpg (US cycle) when I was told I should be getting 27.5 mpg or less (Technology) The Virtual Cockpit is undoubtedly the star of the Interior. It does take some time to get used to controlling almost everything through the steering wheel, but once acclimated it is quite intuitive and easy to use, even on the move. Safety isn't too much of a concern since the system is mounted very close to eye level (also of note I'm only 5'8" or 172 cm) but don't be too distracted by it. Also, the screen provides a good enough viewing angle to allow a passenger to use the entertainment system without struggle, but they can change the layout of the guages if they go into a submenu. The one critique that I have for the Virtual Cockpit is that the control buttons are somewhat small even with my diminutive hands and I could easily see somebody with larger or gloved hands struggle with the steering wheel mounted controls. This is remedied with a more conventional MMI control set up intended mostly for passengers, but it is somewhat disappointing given that it's a selling point of this car. I also have the technology package and B&O sound system, the first out of necessity and the later out of desire. The parking sensors and rearview camera are a must for this car as judging distances can be somewhat tough. The blind spot monitor is also a must have option because the C-pillar is simply massive and obtrusive in everyday driving. I could foresee an instance where a driver cannot see a motorcyclist behind them due to the size of the C-pillar, and backing out of parking spaced makes me nervous. My only real complaint about the technology is that active cruise control or front collision prevention isn't even offered. Of note, I believe this is offered in Europe but not North America for some reason. (Interior) Audi is known for their excellent interiors and this is no exception. I opted for the sports seats and the leather quality is superb, as is the comfort they provide. It is quite easy to make a long journey in this car without being fatigued or uncomfortable. The dashboard is made of a pretty high quality soft touch material that lends itself well to the aesthetic of the rest of the interior. The vent mounted HVAC controls are also pretty intuitive and in my opinion look stylish and futuristic. As for the rear seats, they really are an afterthought. They are basically reserved for children and the most petite of adults, although I have gotten people of 5'5" in the back for short periods, but they did complain about the space. In my experience they serve better as an extra storage space but they do have child seat mounts. One additional note, ingress and egress are difficult in this car not only by the long doors typical of coupes, but also by the wider side skirts and fairly wide door sill. Overall the interior is a great place to be as long as you do not plan on having more than one other passenger for long periods of time. (Storage) Despite its small size the TT actually impresses in the amount of storage it offers. There are numerous small cubbies in the main cabin and the trunk is surprisingly large, particularly when the seats are folded down. There is also a full size spare tire too (conclusion) This is a fun small high tech sports car that one can easily live with every day and enjoy. If you live in a colder climate and can justify having microscopic rear seats, this is a great all-weather sports coupe

2017 Audi TTS quattro 2dr Coupe AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)

This coupe has been a pure joy to own, so far* (just sold an older Audi sports car, so well aware of the potential future service). She's nimble on windy roads with minimal body roll, and is quite sure-footed in snow, (Pirelli snow tires; though one does need to avoid sudden jolts, with this many horses). The noted 0-60 speed has prob been underestimated. Acceleration is smooth …

A TTS finally worthy of Sports Car status

Burt De Mill, 04/11/2017

2017 Audi TTS quattro 2dr Coupe AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)

Incredible levels of style, refinement, and performance at this price point. 6 speed double clutch offers rapid shifting and convenient "rev matching" in sport mode. Light weight and fun to throw into corners, drives like a luxury go-kart. Google Earth is simply amazing, navigation/controls took me about a week to master, now seem very intuitive and make other cars feel dated. Magnetic …

Sporty, Fun, and Stylish

2018 Audi TTS quattro 2dr Coupe AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)

If you don't haul a lot of people around, the TT (or TTS) is a great car. It offers Quattro AWD, which is perfect for being a year-round car. The styling is on point and I receive a lot of compliments on mine. I've owned mine, new, since 2018 and have had NO issues with it. Performance is good, it's quick and handles well. Considering there aren't many sports coupes on the market …

Audi TTS vs. BMW 2 Series

The BMW 2 Series Coupe is one of the newest models in this class. It's slightly larger and significantly more powerful than the TTS. That means more space for people and cargo as well as better performance compared to the Audi. All-wheel drive is available — though not standard — and the BMW is a bit more affordable than the Audi.

Audi TTS vs. Lexus RC 350

The Lexus RC has been around for nearly a decade at this point, making it one of the few sport coupes that's older than the TTS. It too packs a somewhat cramped interior, though it offers more space in the front seats than the Audi. We're not fans of the RC 350's infotainment system, and it doesn't offer quite as much cargo space as the TTS either. But as with most rivals, the Lexus undercuts the Audi's base price.

Audi TTS vs. Toyota GR Supra

Don't let the Toyota badge put you off: The GR Supra is essentially a BMW Z4 underneath that sharp sheetmetal. The interior feels much more premium than what you'll find in other Toyota models, and the BMW-sourced turbocharged engines provide plenty of grunt. There's no all-wheel drive, but Toyota is one of the few to offer a manual transmission, a boon for those who prefer their performance cars with a clutch
