AUDI Q3 SPORTBACK 45 TFSI QUATTRO Compact Crossover with Athletic Prowess - Pulse Orange

Audi is adding a compact SUV in coupé shape to its model range: the Audi Q3 Sportback. The new model combines the strong presence and versatile everyday convenience of an SUV with the sporty elegance and agile handling of a coupé. This makes it the first compact crossover of the Audi brand.

Low roofline and a muscular body: the design
The Audi Q3 Sportback stands for strength and precision to an equal degree, and reflects this in all design details. The black grille of the octagonal Singleframe is strongly three-dimensional in design, and this makes it particularly sporty. The same applies for the trapezoidal air inlets and the expressive bumper with its flat blade. The coupé-like passenger cabin acts as a contrast to the distinctive attachments, which are painted in contrasting colors and thus emphasize the SUV character. The low roofline gives way to flat Dpillars and ends in a roof edge spoiler. As a result, the Audi Q3 ‑Sportback appears much longer than its sister model Q3. In addition, the SUV-coupé is almost three centimeters flatter and thus has a more muscular appearance. Above the wheels, strong contours hint at the quattro drive, which comes as standard with most engines. Many light and shadow effects arise on the plastic-formed rear. The low window, flanked by aero trims, and the sporty bumper, which takes up the look of the air inlets, emphasize the width of the Audi Q3 Sportback. The reversing lights contribute to this as well: They run inwards in a tapered shape, just like the flat headlights. Audi supplies the latter in three versions up to Matrix LED technology, whose adaptive high beam intelligently illuminates the road as best suits the driving situation.

Sporty on and off the road: the suspension

The Audi Q3 Sportback offers driving fun on various terrains. In the city, on long-haul routes, or on easy terrain – the compact crossover is a dynamic all-around performer. It features progressive steering as standard, whose gear ratio becomes increasingly direct as the steering angle increases, and the sport suspension. On request, the suspension is available with damper control, which further increases the range between dynamism and comfort. Depending on the driving situation, road condition and personal preferences, the driver can vary the car’s characteristics via the standard dynamic handling system, Audi drive select, in six profiles, including the offroad mode. In addition to the engine and transmission set-up, this system also influences the electronically adjustable shock absorbers and the steering assistance. As an option, the hill descent control can offer support: It keeps the speed selected by the driver constant on an incline greater than 6%.

TFSI, TDI, S tronic, quattro: the drive
For the Audi Q3 Sportback two gasoline and a diesel engine are available for selection at first.

The 1.5 TFSi in the Q3 Sportback 35 TFSI (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km*: 6.0–5.7 (39.2–41.3 US mpg); combined CO2 emissions in g/km*: 137–130 (220.5–209.2 g/mi) delivers 110 kW (150 metric hp). It uses the cylinder on demand technology, which switches off two cylinders at low and medium loads. Later this engine will follow with S tronic and 48 volt mild hybrid system. During deceleration, it recovers energy; during acceleration from low speeds, it supports the engine. In real-life driving, it can save up to 0.4 l of fuel per 100 km.

The Q3 Sportback 45 TFSI quattro is fitted with the most powerful engine, the 2.0 TFSI with 169 kW (230 metric hp) and S tronic. The 2.0 TDI in the Q3 Sportback 35 TDI – also with S tronic – delivers 110 kW (150 metric hp) (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km*: 4.9–4.7 . It is also available as a manual transmission vehicle with quattro drive
