In terms of exterior design, this updated Q3 gets the new Audi single-frame grille, full LED headlamps, gloss black cladding, new design for the alloy wheels and wrap-around tail lamps.
The cabin is standard new generation Audi fare with a large number of the elements and layout borrowed from the larger Audi Q5. The large feature list includes dual-zone climate control, adjustable second-row seats, cruise control, digital instrument cluster, MMI Navigation Plus, wireless charging and a gesture-controlled tailgate.
Both versions of the Audi Q3 are offered only with a 2.0-litre TFSI petrol engine that produces 187bhp/370Nm and is offered only with a seven-speed DSG and quattro AWD technology. It has a 0-100kmph time of 7.3 seconds.
