Audi Q3: What to expect?

In terms of exterior design, the Audi Q3 is visibly inspired by the higher-placed Q8. The new Q3 is also a bigger vehicle than its predecessor and rests on Volkswagen’s MQB platform. The front grille gets a hexagon-shaped design, with the Q3 also sporting new DRLs and redesigned LED headlamps. The shoulder lines are more prominent on the sides and the Q3 also receives new alloy wheels and an elongated roof spoiler.

Inside, the Audi Q3 looks completely different from its predecessor. The dashboard design matches the new Audi models. The Q3 will get a 10-inch driver display along with a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen. The Audi Q3 will also be refreshed with new features such as a 360-degree camera, cruise control, and park assist.

The India-bound Q3 will receive a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol engine that can produce a maximum power of 190hp. This engine will be paired with a 7-speed DCT gearbox that channels the power to all four wheels.
