The new Audi Q3 is a premium sports utility vehicle in a compact form. This genuine Audi sets standards in all aspects of engineering – from its body through to its drive trains and chassis, to its state-of-the-art assistance systems and multimedia systems. The Audi Q3 is a versatile companion for everyday life – with an urbane character.

The design of the Q3 is classic Audi: its coupe-like styling is one-of-a-kind among SUVs and symbolises its sporty identity. Thanks to systematic lightweight design, the basic version of the Audi Q3 weighs less than 1,500 kg. Its engine hood and wraparound tailgate, which houses the taillights, are made of aluminium; the safe and solid passenger compartment features many ultra-high-strength steels. Its low drag coefficient of just 0.32 also enhances fuel efficiency.

The interior is very roomy. Just as for the exterior, customers have many opportunities to express their very own style in the interior. The luggage compartment offers 460 to 1,365 litres of capacity – ideal for sports and leisure.

Customers can opt for numerous options such as adaptive light technology for the xenon-plus headlights, which ideally illuminates the road ahead – even around corners. An enhanced parking assistant alerts the driver to obstacles, even if they are off to the side.

Audi offers an entire set of infotainment components, spearheaded by the large MMI navigation plus – a hard drive navigation system – and the Bose surround sound system.

This compact premium SUV by Audi will roll off the assembly line with three different four-cylinder engines: one TDI and two TFSI units. All three will combine direct injection with turbo charging, and will feature not only an energy recovery system but also a start-stop system. With power outputs ranging from 140 bhp to 211 bhp, these engines will be as efficient as they are powerful. The basic version, the Q3 2.0 TDI, is scheduled to appear a little later and – with 140 bhp and front-wheel drive – will average less than 5.2 litres of fuel per 100 km.
