Although the Audi Q3 has been a best-selling car in the premium compact segment for more than a decade, the new Audi Q3 boasts an even more attractive design. Numerous innovative features transform the Audi Q3 into a masterpiece. In addition to the balanced suspension, the digitalisation of lighting enhances customer convenience. Thanks to the new micro-LED technology in the Matrix LED digital headlights, a high degree of customisation and high-precision, adaptive lighting functions are possible. The new Audi Q3 features an efficient, partially electrified internal combustion engine with mild hybrid technology, as well as a plug-in hybrid model offering an electric range of up to 119 kilometres (provisional figures).
On the outside, the wide single and elegantly tapered headlights are perfectly integrated into the aerodynamic concept.
The rear is adorned with optional OLED digital taillights, complemented by a continuous LED light bar and light rings. This level of lighting technology introduced in the new Audi Q3 is available for the first time in the compact class.
The front of the compact SUV features digital Matrix LED headlights, which use a micro-LED module for the first time in the Audi Q3. This technology significantly improves lighting performance. The light guidance functions are now even more closely linked to the driver assistance functions. The digital LED daytime running lights, comprising 23 segments per side, provide distinctive lighting accents that make the car easier to identify on the road.
In the interior, the new steering wheel control unit allows for more storage space in the centre console. The steering wheel control unit integrates two new steering column levers for the first time. The right lever serves as a gear selector, while the left lever controls the lighting and windshield wiper functions. For the first time in the compact class, acoustic glass can be ordered for the front side windows, improving interior sound insulation, especially at high speeds.
The base model in the Audi Q3 family is the Audi Q3 SUV TFSI 110 kW, a four-cylinder gasoline engine with mild hybrid technology. The Audi Q3 SUV TDI 110 kW is particularly suitable for long-distance driving. The Audi Q3 SUV e-hybrid, equipped with a 200 kW motor, can charge at up to 50 kW using DC power under ideal conditions and is more powerful and efficient than ever. A high-voltage battery with a gross capacity of 25.7 kwph (net 19.7 kwph) is installed for this purpose. This battery enables an electric range of up to 119 kilometres (provisional figures) in the WLTP test cycle.
The new Audi Q3 is scheduled to be launched in October.
