We have the e-Tron Sportback, the S5 Sportback, and now the entry-level SUV, the Q3, which has a premium Sportback version available in India. The Audi Q3’s ex-showroom costs begin at INR 44.89 Lakhs and rise to INR 51.43 Lakhs for the recently introduced Sportback.
Engine and Gearbox
- A 2.0-litre petrol turbocharged engine, which also powers the Volkswagen Tiguan, Skoda Kodiaq, and the basic Q3, propels the Audi Q3 Sportback.
- This motor has a 7-speed DCT and produces 187 horsepower and 320 Nm.
- Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive technology is included as standard equipment.
- In addition, it is stated that the Q3 Sportback can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in 7.3 seconds.
Exterior Design
In contrast to the Q3 SUV’s regular design, the Q3 Sportback comes with the S-line styling pack as standard. The coupe SUV sports a big hexagonal grille up front that has a honeycomb pattern rather than the Q3 SUV’s slatted layout. It also receives silver-finished, sharper air intakes that are more trapezoidal in design. The Q3 Sportback features a dramatically slanted roofline and 10-spoke, 18-inch alloy wheels.
Dimensions
The Q3 Sportback has measurements of 4,518mm in length, 1,843mm in width, and 1,558mm in height. As a result, it is 49mm shorter, 6mm wider, and 36mm longer than the Q3 SUV. The Sportback is available from Audi in five different colours: Blue, White, Grey, Black, and Blue.
Interior
The interior design of the Q3 Sportback is the same as that of the Q3 SUV. Additionally, it receives Audi’s Virtual Cockpit all-digital instrument cluster and the same 10.1-inch touchscreen. Okapi Brown and Pearl Beige are the two interior upholstery colour options that Audi offers for the Q3 Sportback.
Features
The Q3 Sportback has features including:
- 10-speaker music system
- Wireless charger
- 30-colour ambient lighting
- A panoramic sunroof
- Dual-zone temperature control, much like the Q3 SUV
- Well-equipped with 6 airbags
- ISOFIX child seat anchors,
- Tyre pressure monitoring systems are among its primary safety features. However, the Sportback lacks ADAS features just like the Q3 SUV does.
Warranty and Rivals
For a limited time, Audi is providing a 5-year extended warranty for the Q3 Sportback that also includes roadside assistance (RSA). The option to extend the warranty up to 7 years and the RSA up to 10 years is also available to customers. There are presently no other entry-level coupe SUVs on the market, therefore the Q3 Sportback has no direct competitors. The Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe (Rs. 72.50 lakh), which is in a higher price range, is the closest coupe SUV.
