Q3 Sportback – Just arrived

Extroverted SUV coupé.
The Audi Q3 Sportback.

Eye-catcher and everyday companion – the Audi Q3 Sportback combines the aesthetics and emotionality of a coupé with the power and functionality of an SUV. The large infotainment and connectivity offer as well as the extensive standard equipment ensure a great deal of driving pleasure.

Maximum Retail Price* 45 TFSI quattro Sportback S line – $87,900

 

Progressive design

Self-confident, extroverted, and sporty – this is the Audi Q3 Sportback. The front is dominated by the large single-frame grill with octagon design and the lateral air intakes. The coupé-like silhouette is clearly visible in the side view. The long, elegant shoulder line forms the dynamic basic shape of the vehicle and emphasises the sportiness. Characteristic of the rear are the flowing sloping roof line, the low rear window, and the sharply cut rear lights. Thanks to our flexible equipment line concept, you can individualise the exterior according to your wishes. Your Audi Q3 Sportback will be delivered with bumpers in contrasting paintwork, 19-inch wheels in 5-arm dynamic design, and illuminated door sills with front aluminium inserts and S lettering.

Thanks to various interfaces and connections, you can connect your mobile devices to the vehicle. Take advantage of the wide range of services offered by Audi connect.**

Driving pleasure as standard

In order to offer you the greatest possible driving pleasure, we have equipped the Audi Q3 Sportback as standard with some technologies that increase the dynamics on the road: The sports suspension provides good traction. Progressive steering offers direct steering response – for example on winding country roads and when turning.

In addition to the engine and transmission set-up, the system influences the optional electronically adjustable shock absorbers and steering assistance. We offer the 169 kW (230 hp) 2.0-litre TFSI engine.
