Compared to its predecessor, the new Audi Q3 has an even more emotional design. The wide Singleframe and the sleekly tapered headlights are fully integrated into the aerodynamic concept.

Viewed from the side, a horizontal shoulder line between the headlights and rear lights visually divides the car into two parts, creating a very special distribution of light and shadow.

The rear section is adorned with digital OLED rear lights (optional on Edition 1), complemented by a continuous LED light strip and the illuminated rings (standard on S line and above). This level of lighting technology offered in the new Audi Q3 is available for the first time in the Audi compact segment.

The front of the compact SUV features digital Matrix LED headlights (standard on Edition1) that use the micro-LED module for the first time in the Audi Q3. The use of this micro-LED technology improves illumination significantly and thus ensures a strong contrast on the road. The light guidance functions are now much more closely linked to the driver assistance functions. 

The digital daytime running lights with LED technology, consisting of 23 segments per side, create distinctive light signatures that make the vehicle easily recognizable on the road.

In the interior, the new steering wheel control unit means more storage space in the centre console, a new user experience, and a better sense of space. The steering wheel control unit integrates two new steering column levers for the first time. The lever on the right serves as a gear selector, the one on the left as a control element for the light functions and windshield wipers. Also, for the first time in the compact segment at Audi, acoustic glazing for the front side windows comes as standard which makes for better interior acoustics, particularly at high speeds. 

The 488-litre boot also demonstrates the practicality of the Audi Q3. With the seat bench folded down, the storage space for the Audi Q3 increases to up to 1,386 litres. The seat bench can be moved lengthwise, and its angle can be adjusted as standard. The SUV has a towing capacity of up to 2,100kg.

The entry-level model in the Audi Q3 family is the Audi Q3 SUV TFSI 150PS, a four-cylinder petrol engine with mild-hybrid technology. 

The Audi Q3 SUV TDI 150PS is particularly suitable for driving long distances. The Audi Q3 SUV e-hybrid 272PS can charge up to 50kW with DC power under ideal conditions and is more powerful and efficient than ever before. A high-voltage battery with a gross capacity of 25.7 kWh (net 19.7 kWh) was installed for that purpose. This battery enables an electric range of up to 74 miles* in the WLTP test cycle.

The further developed standard suspension delivers an improved driving experience. The sports suspension (standard on Edition 1) and the suspension with two-valve damper control (available on S line and Edition 1 as part of the optional Sound & Vision Pack Pro) offer an optimally balanced driving experience. One driving assistance highlight is the driver attention and fatigue monitor. 

For even greater safety on the road, an interior camera also monitors the driver for signs of drowsiness and lack of concentration. Trained parking (part of Sound & Vision Pack Pro) allows customers to teach the Audi Q3 individual parking manoeuvres.

The new Audi Q3 will launch in the UK in late summer; orders can be placed for the Q3 TFSI and TDI in July, and the Q3 e-hybrid in August. 

Compared to its predecessor, the new Audi Q3 has an even more muscular and emotional design. Its body is defined by the perfect combination of rounded sections and precise lines. The wide Singleframe is positioned high up, and the sleekly tapered headlights create a focused look and are fully integrated into the vehicle's aerodynamic concept. 

The design ensures a particularly efficient airflow around the front end. The controllable cool-air intake is installed in the area under the Singleframe and ensures that the airstream can flow around this area with minimal losses. The parking sensors are also located there. The sensors for the driver assistance systems are installed behind the four rings.

Viewed from the side, a horizontal shoulder line between the front and rear lights visually divides the car into two parts, creating a very special lighting effect. The upper side catches the light, while the lower side falls into shadow. 

In conjunction with the steeply sloping D-pillars, this makes the greenhouse appear even more dynamic. The powerfully emerging blisters from the shoulder area of the front and rear wheels are reminiscent of the original quattro.

The rear also features a clear design. Separated from the two-part rear lights, the precisely drawn narrow light strip cuts sharply across the entire width of the vehicle (S line and above), giving the rear a clean look. Below this runs a wide, visually calm area. The diffuser is integrated into the raised bumper.

The S line specification is differentiated with front and rear bumpers in selenite silver. Nine colours are available for the new Audi Q3 models, including the Arkona white solid paint finish. Glacier white, Mythos black, Arrow grey, Tambora grey, Progressive red, and Navarra blue are available as metallic paint finishes. These are joined by the new colour Sage green. The Daytona grey metallic paint finish is also available for the S line.

The new wheel designs are available from 18 inches as standard up to a maximum of 20 inches. Aerodynamic wheels from 18 inches to 19 inches complete the range. Audi Sport supplies a total of four wheel designs in 19-inch and 20-inch sizes. These include two darkened variants in black metallic: a 20-inch wheel with a five-arm tripod design (standard on Edition 1) and an optional 20-inch wheel with a multi-spoke S design.

The aerodynamics and overall vehicle acoustics have been significantly improved compared to the predecessor. In addition to the drag coefficient of 0.30, the focus is primarily on acoustic comfort.

The new Audi Q3 is the first Audi model in the compact segment to offer acoustic glazing for the front side windows. In combination with optimized sealing and insulation in the vehicle, this creates a harmonious acoustic concept with a noticeable improvement in driving comfort.
