However, shortly after the debut of the Audi Q3 in China, this model will also become a domestic model of FAW-Volkswagen Audi as a domestic car.

The launch of the Audi Q3 crossover will enrich Audi's existing SUV product line. From the official renderings point of view, the new Audi Q3 uses a more sporty front face design, the front face design and the Audi Q5 is somewhat similar. The side lines of the car body are light and smooth, and the lines on the roof are slightly inclined downwards. However, this design does not know whether it will affect the seating space of the rear passengers.

Although the Audi Q3 is the smallest SUV in the family, the interior space can still be said to be generous. The minimum space for the luggage compartment is 460 liters and the rear seat can be lowered. To 1365 liters.



Q3 interior is very own style of A3, especially the control of the air conditioning knob. In addition to the black interior on the picture we see, there will be grey, beige and brown, and will match a variety of materials of leather fabric, pine or bright silver trim will be dotted in the middle.

In terms of power system, Audi prepared three different four-cylinder engines, including a TDI and two TFSI engines. All three engines are equipped with direct injection technology and turbocharging. Others are also equipped with a brake energy regeneration system and an engine start/stop system. The 2.0-liter TFSI engine is used in gasoline engines, but there are two versions of the maximum horsepower. The maximum low-end horsepower is 170 horses and the high-end maximum horsepower is 211 horses. The latter can help the Audi Q3 accelerate to 100 kilometers in 7 seconds. / Hour, speed reached 230 km / h, the diesel engine is also 2.0 liters of TDI, but the maximum horsepower also reached 177 horses, the official said later will add a 2.0 litre TDI low-key school version, the maximum horsepower is 140 horsepower, in the basic type In the case of the precursor structure, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 5.2 liters. On the transmission system, Volkswagen's DSG transmission is expected to be equipped. Carbon dioxide emissions will reach levels of 158 g/km to 184 g/km.



After all, Audi is an SUV model, but because it is too positioned for use in the city, it does not expect it to have a good off-road capability, but the 17-centimeter ground clearance is still higher than ordinary cars, but it is much lower General sense of the ground clearance of SUV models. Standard 16-inch alloy wheels, tire size is 215/65R16, top version can choose 17-inch wheel hub, Audi can also supply 17 and 19-inch wheels in special custom cases.



Interestingly, Audi Q3's prototype concept car Cross Coupéquattro was the world premiere at the 12th Shanghai Auto Show in 2007. Four years later, the Audi Q3, which conceptualized itself as a reality, was also launched in Shanghai. I do not know whether it was a deliberate arrangement or a pure coincidence.
