Why blend in when you were born to stand out? With its contemporary design profile, the Audi Q3 ensures you’ll always be seen.

One Is All That’s Needed

In a world overrun by choices, the Audi Q3 offers a simple solution: one trim level, one engine option. Some may say that more choices are better, but Audi understands the beauty in simplicity. In addition to removing decision paralysis, this simple approach to the Q3 offers benefits, including:

Having all the features you need right from the start.
Features aren’t locked behind high trim levels.

Less unnecessary excess with features you won’t use.

For those who want to stray from the base configuration, the Q3 offers four optional packages. With the Audi Q3, less truly is more.

Designed to Help You Stand Out

There may be only one trim level for the Audi Q3, but within it come endless possibilities. This allowed the designers to spend more time focusing on personalization options. The result is a lookbook-like catalogue of color options, wheel designs, and even design features that can change with your mood. Here’s a snapshot of what you can expect during the design process:

9 exterior colors, including Sage Green, Malpelo Blue, and Progressive Red.
3 unique wheel designs in either an 18-, 19-, or 20-inch configuration.
Customizable LED interior lighting.

The LED headlights help illuminate even the darkest roads. While striking on their own, these lights offer a new level of personalization with three Daytime Running Lamp (DLR) signatures. Each signature adjusts the Q3's attitude, letting you drive an SUV that always matches your mood.

INVENTIVE

As a luxury brand, Audi is always at the forefront of innovation. Step inside the cabin of the Audi Q3, and you’ll enter a space that pushes the envelope in every sense of the word.

360-Degree Field of View

Awareness is essential. With a wraparound digital display, the Audi Q3 places all essential driving data front and center. Two screens, plus an optional head-up display, create this wraparound effect:

11.9-inch virtual cockpit
12.8-inch touchscreen
Windshield-projected overlays with head-up display

Beyond screens, the Q3 keeps you informed via wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ integration. Seamlessly connect your smartphone to your SUV to access your favorite digital features while on the go without ever needing to touch your device.

A New Way to Commute

There’s much to love about your commute when you drive the Audi Q3. From modern amenities to mood-boosting touches, every detail of the cabin was reimagined with you in mind. Supportive seats and a refined suspension system help reduce pressure points and make road imperfections feel more like smooth glass, helping you stay comfortable and keeping back and shoulder tension to a minimum. This way, you can arrive at your destination feeling rejuvenated, even if you have just completed a long road trip.

To elevate the cabin's appearance, the seats are adorned with supple leather upholstery, and natural tulipwood accents add a refined edge to the space.

RESPONSIVE

Comfort may be at the core of the Audi Q3, but there’s plenty of fun when you drive this SUV. Audi infuses this vehicle with the brand’s motorsports heritage to turn even a mundane outing into an exciting adventure.

Luxury, Meet Sporty Performance

Lurking under the Audi Q3’s sophisticated exterior is a 2.0L turbocharged engine. This configuration was masterfully engineered to deliver a balance of potent power and comfortable cruising, thanks to these performance specifications:

Horsepower:255 HP
Torque: 273 lb-ft
Acceleration (0-60 MPH):5.5 sec.

A standard quattro® all-wheel drive system helps enhance handling by actively redistributing torque between the front and rear axles. This allows the Q3 to maintain control on low-friction surfaces, and it helps it “bite” into the road on turns to prevent understeering.

Go Ahead. Be a Know-It-All

If anyone tries to tell you that being a know-it-all is bad, they clearly haven’t driven the Audi Q3. Sophisticated monitoring technology is placed in crucial areas around the SUV to create a 360-degree monitoring field. This technology constantly scans for hazards you may have missed, and, when certain conditions are met, it can assist with gentle braking or steering to help avoid a collision.

Some of the standard and available driver-assist features of the Q3 include:

Traffic sign recognition
Adaptive cruise assist
Top view camera

When you reach your destination, the standard parking system plus makes backing into any spot feel effortless. Front and rear sensors can alert you when an obstacle is detected, making even the most complex parking maneuvers feel breezy.

Audi Q3 vs. The Competition

Audi Q3 vs. Mercedes-Benz GLA

When comparing smaller SUVs like the Audi Q3 and the Mercedes-Benz GLA, you might wonder how much performance can be packed into a subcompact. If it’s the Q3, the answer is quite a lot. Standard all-wheel drive and more horsepower drive it well beyond the GLA's base offerings.
