Audi Q3 Model History

Audi added a third member to their premium crossover vehicle family in the United States for 2015 with the Q3. Sold in other parts of the world since the 2012 model year, the Audi Q3 serves as the smallest crossover by the company in North America. Available with quattro-all-wheel drive, the Q3 became the first crossover offered with the choice of a two-wheel drive model. A front-wheel drive Audi Q3 created an affordable entry-level choice for the premium crossover segment. A 2.0-liter TFSI four-cylinder engine generating 200 horsepower and a six-speed automatic transmission are found on all models. With up to 48.2 cubic feet of cargo space available inside, comforts such as a 10-speaker stereo system, dual-zone climate control and Audi advanced key was included standard on the 2015 Q3. For 2016, the Audi Q3 received a more dynamic look accomplished with a new grille as well as a refreshed headlight and taillight design.
