What to expect
The 2022 Q3 is much sharper and sleeker than before in terms of design. The front fascia gets a single frame octagonal grille with eight vertical bars, large side air inlets, and slim, full LED headlights paired with LED daytime running lamps. Move to the side and you’ll notice that the Q3 rides on 18-inch 5-arm style alloy wheels. The Q3 is offered with high gloss styling package as standard which adds black elements all around. The rear gets LED taillamps with Audi’s signature dynamic turn indicators. The interior draws its inspiration from other larger SUVs from the brand.
The Q3 doesn’t have the dual touchscreens for the center console; however, it does retain some similar shapes. The MMI touchscreen is positioned above the physical dual-zone climate control buttons. The leather-leatherette combination seats are electrically adjustable and offer lumbar adjustment as well. The new Q3 comes loaded with equipment such as Audi Virtual Cockpit Plus, MMI Navigation Plus with MMI touch, Audi Drive Select, Audi Phone box with wireless charging, Ambient lighting package plus with 30 colors, Audi sound system with ten speakers and a panoramic sunroof to name a few. The boot space is rated at 530 liters.
The India spec Q3 will be powered by a sole 2-liter TSI turbo petrol motor that produces 190hp and 320nm of torque. It is mated to a 7-speed S Tronic transmission and power is sent to all four wheels via the Quattro system. Let’s take a look at the variant-wise features of the new Q3:
