Audi Q3 Sportback: Everything you need to know

The major changes on the Audi Q3 Sportback come in the form of cosmetic and design alterations which make it a sportier SUV than the rest of the Q3 lineup. The Audi Q3 Sportback features a sloping roofline which gives it a coupe-like look. The air intakes on the Sportback variant have been redesigned to a more triangular look. Upfront, the hexagonal grille gets a new honeycomb pattern instead of a slatted pattern found on the Q3. The Q3 Sportback rests on 10-spoke, 18-inch alloy wheels. In terms of dimensions, the Audi Q3 Sportback is 36mm longer, 6mm narrower, and 49mm shorter than the Q3. The Sportback variant stands at 4,518 x 1,843 x 1,558mm.

Things remain the same under the hood as the Audi Q3 Sportback continues to be offered with the 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol engine found on the Q3. This engine unit produces a maximum power of 190hp and 320Nm peak torque and is mated to a 7-speed DCT gearbox that channels the power to all four wheels. The SUV can go from 0-100kmph in 7.3 seconds. There is no diesel engine option for the Sportback variant either.

The interior layout remains the same for Audi Q3 Sportback, which isn’t a surprise as the Q3 underwent some radical design changes on the inside. In terms of features, the Audi Q3 gets a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, an all-digital instrument cluster, a 10-speaker audio system, wireless charging, a panoramic sunroof, climate control, and more.

Conclusion

While Audi Q3 Sportback’s pricetag will be revealed upon launch, it will definitely be pricier than the Q3. Audi will likely offer the Sportback variant in the same five colour options as the Q3, which are Pulse Orange, Glacier White, Chronos Grey, Mythos Black, and Navarra Blue. The SUV will rival the likes of Mercedes-Benz GLA, BMW X1, and Volvo XC40.
