Audi's New Comapct Q3 - The New Compact Premium SUV

Audi finally brings our long wait to an end and launches a new compact premium SUV - Q3

After teasing us for what seems like an eternity, Audi has finally revealed the Q3 a week prior to the Shanghai Motor Show.
New Audi Q3 - Compact SUV India

The car has typical Audi coupe-like styling with a single framed front grille, all-round LED lighting and steep hatch. The coupe styling doesn’t make the car an alien from the Q family. The new Q will be available in Petrol and Diesel engines with direct injection and turbocharging with 140hp and 211hp to offer, and a seven-speed dual clutch transmission. The 170 horsepower gasoline engine will be powered in the front wheels only.

The beauty of this German born is in its low drag coefficients of 0.32. The interiors are spacious with commendable ergonomics and workmanship. The steep hatch at the rear unfortunately has to compromise on the storage capacity with just 16.24 cubic-feet on the inside as compared to 18.6 in the Tiguan, which is nearly 25% lesser than what the Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4 have to offer.

The chassis are conjoint with a four-link rear suspension. Audi also offers four modes of driving modes including engine management and optional adaptive dampers. Additional features include adaptive light technology for the xenon lamps and enhanced parking assist which guides the driver for obstacles while parking.

The car will be priced at 29,900 Euros (approx Rs. 19,00,000) in Germany and is likely to be launched in June. Official date of when it will make its way to the other countries is yet to be known.
