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.
