Audi's first coupe SUV: Audi Q3 Sportback
Audi has unveiled Audi Q3 Sportback- its compact SUV coupé with an expressive design and dynamic handling. Delivery of the Audi Q3 Sportback in Europe will start in the fall. However, the company has not revealed anything about its launch in India.
The compact SUV provides sport suspension, progressive steering, and Audi drive select as standard. It has LED headlights and sharp overall design.
In the Audi Q3 Sportback, four standard systems are used for safety. These include the Lane Departure Warning and Lane Change Warning. The SUV also gets Audi Pre Sense front. If a head-on collision is imminent, it outputs a visual, acoustic, and haptic warning to the driver.
The black grille of the octagonal singleframe in Audi Q3 Sportback is strongly three-dimensional in design, and this makes it particularly sporty. The coupe-like passenger cabin acts as a contrast to the distinctive attachments, which are painted in contrasting colors and thus emphasize the SUV character.
For the digital space, MMI navigation plus and the displays appear in the Audi Virtual Cockpit, offering many additional functions. A touch display measuring 10.1 inches is positioned in the center of the instrument panel.
The free myAudi App and the Audi smartphone interface ensures interconnectivity between the car and smartphone. This integrates Android and iOS cell phones into the on-board infotainment system. The content of the smartphone is shown in the MMI display via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and no cables are required if the top infotainment system is used with an iPhone.
The coupé SUV features progressive steering as standard, whose gear ratio becomes increasingly direct as the steering angle increases. It gets sport suspension as well.
The front seats are electrically adjustable and heated on request. They offer a sporty position and a high level of comfort. Depending on the equipment, there are sport seats with contrasting stitching and colored stripes along the side panels.
The volume of the luggage compartment is expandable, ranging from 530 - 1,400-litres. The loading floor is adjustable to two levels, and the rear shelf is located beneath it. As an option, Audi will deliver an electric tailgate that can also be opened and closed with a foot motion.
Audi Q3 Sportback will be available with petrol and diesel engine options in Europe. The petrol engine is a 2.0 TFSI unit generating 230 PS. However, more engines will follow in the course of the year, including a more powerful diesel and an entry-level petrol engine, which works together with a 48V mild-hybrid system.
