Both the engines come with a 7 Speed S tronic transmission and offer best in class features- a dynamic mix of technology, power and efficiency.

The design changes in exterior include a redesigned bumper underlining the character of the Audi Q3, thanks to its sharper lines and its striking shape. The new air inlets in the front bumper give the car a rugged and aggressive character. The panoramic sunroof is now standard on the car as are the 17” Wheels and LED Headlights with signature LED DRLs.

The interiors now include front seats with electric adjustment as standard on the new Audi Q3. The Audi Q3 2.0 TDI quattro will have sporty aluminium tangent inlays while the Audi Q3 2.0 TDI FWD gets elegant walnut brown inlays. The Deluxe 2 Zone Automatic Air Conditioner is also standard now.

Our thrust is on fulfilling customers’ requirements and in line with that, this is our third launch of the year after the new Audi A3 Cabriolet and the all-new Audi A4 TDI,” added Mr. Ansari.
